Branded Softshell Jackets UK

Softshell jackets are a genuine workwear all-rounder — smart enough for corporate use, practical enough for site or outdoor roles, and warmer than a fleece without the bulk of a fully waterproof shell.

2-Layer or 3-Layer — What's the Real Difference?

A 2-layer softshell bonds a water and wind-repellent outer fabric to a soft fleece or brushed inner lining, with no waterproof membrane. It's lighter, more breathable and better suited to milder conditions or everyday wear. A 3-layer softshell adds a bonded PU or TPU membrane between the outer fabric and the inner lining, giving genuinely higher waterproof and windproof performance — the better choice for teams working outdoors in harsher weather for extended periods.

Both constructions take embroidery and print well, with a smooth, structured outer surface that holds branding cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a 2-layer and 3-layer softshell?

A 2-layer softshell has no waterproof membrane — just an outer fabric bonded to a fleece lining, making it lighter and more breathable. A 3-layer softshell adds a bonded membrane for genuinely higher waterproof and windproof performance, at the cost of slightly more weight.

Is a softshell jacket fully waterproof?

Generally not to the same standard as a dedicated waterproof shell. Softshells are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof — for sustained heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams is the better choice.

Is embroidery or print better for softshell jackets?

Embroidery works well on most softshell fabric, giving a durable, professional finish. It's a reliable default choice for this category.

How should softshell jackets be washed to protect their performance?

Avoid fabric softener and bleach, as both can break down the water-repellent (DWR) coating and, on 3-layer styles, the waterproof membrane — reducing the jacket's performance over time.

Do you offer women's fit softshell jackets?

Yes — dedicated women's fits are available across much of our softshell range, alongside unisex and men's options.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Many softshell jackets can be ordered individually, while larger team orders benefit from bulk pricing. Contact us for a tailored quote.
