Softshell Work Jacket Buying Guide

Choosing the right soft shell jacket for work can be challenging with so many options available. That’s why we’ve created this detailed buying guide to help you select the perfect softshell work jacket from our range at Essential Workwear. Whether you’re looking for an embroidered jacket, a waterproof work jacket, or a custom softshell jacket, we’ve got you covered.

Assess Your Needs

Branding

Showcase your business with style. Our embroidered soft shell jackets are available in a variety of colours, including black, navy, grey, charcoal, orange, red and more, to suit your brand’s identity.

Environment

  • Cold Weather: Opt for a softshell work jacket with fleece lining for added warmth.
  • Mild Climates: A lightweight, water-resistant shell jacket is ideal for keeping you dry and comfortable.

Functionality

For physically demanding jobs, look for jackets with extra flexibility in the arms and chest to accommodate movement.

Fabric Composition

Softshell jackets combine polyester and spandex for durability and stretch. Jackets with higher spandex content offer enhanced flexibility, making them perfect for active work environments. Always check the fabric specifications to find the right blend for your needs.

Key Features to Consider

  • Water and Wind Resistance: Essential for unpredictable weather, especially in outdoor settings.
  • Breathability: Ensures comfort during extended wear or physically demanding jobs.
  • Pockets: Convenient storage for tools or personal items.
  • Adjustable Components: Look for features like adjustable cuffs or detachable hoods for a customised fit.

Sizing and Fit Guide

Our range includes options for all body types, ensuring you find the perfect softshell work jacket for your needs.

  • Standard Fit: Great for layering and general work scenarios.
  • Slim Fit: A tailored look suitable for office and outdoor environments.

Use our size guide to find your ideal fit. Measuring yourself before purchasing is always recommended.

Care and Maintenance

Investing in a high-quality black soft shell jacket or women’s softshell jacket requires proper care to ensure longevity:

  1. Read the Label: Follow specific washing instructions.
  2. Avoid Fabric Softeners: They may reduce water and wind resistance.
  3. Gentle Cleaning: Hand wash or air dry jackets with reflective or water-repellent features.
  4. Regular Inspections: Repair minor damage promptly to maintain performance.
