Regatta Professional RG147 Ablaze 3-Layer Printable Softshell – Branded Workwear

The Regatta Professional RG147 Ablaze 3-Layer Printable Softshell is a high-performance softshell jacket designed for businesses that need a smart branded outer layer with dependable protection from wind and wet weather.

Built using Softshell XPT waterproof and breathable 3-layer membrane fabric, the Ablaze combines weather protection with breathability and a warm-backed construction.

At 300gsm, it provides a substantial softshell layer that is particularly well suited to cooler conditions, outdoor work and professional teams who need a versatile jacket that can be branded with their company identity.

The outer fabric is specifically designed to be fully printable, making the RG147 an excellent option for businesses looking for larger or more visible printed branding, while embroidery is also available.

Why Choose the Regatta RG147 Ablaze?

3-Layer Softshell Construction

The Ablaze uses a 3-layer Softshell XPT construction, combining a woven outer layer, waterproof and breathable membrane and warm-backed inner layer.

This gives the jacket a useful combination of:

• Weather protection

• Breathability

• Warmth

• Flexibility

• Professional appearance

The three-layer construction makes it a more substantial softshell option than lightweight two-layer alternatives.

Waterproof and Breathable

The RG147 uses waterproof and breathable Softshell XPT membrane fabric.

This means the jacket is designed to provide protection from rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape, helping improve comfort when employees are active outdoors.

Regatta lists the jacket with a 10,000g/m²/24hr breathability rating, making breathability an important part of its performance specification.

Wind-Resistant Membrane

The Softshell XPT membrane is also designed to resist wind, helping protect employees when working or travelling outdoors in exposed conditions.

This makes the Ablaze a useful middle ground between a traditional fleece and a heavier insulated winter jacket.

Warm-Backed Construction

The inside of the jacket has a warm-backed softshell construction, providing additional comfort during cooler weather.

At 300gsm, it has more substance than a lightweight softshell while retaining the flexibility needed for everyday work.

Designed for Printing

One of the key advantages of the RG147 is that the outer fabric is fully printable.

Regatta specifically identifies the jacket as suitable for:

• Screen printing

• Transfer printing

• Vinyl printing

This makes the Ablaze particularly useful when a business wants a larger company logo, promotional graphic or more detailed printed design.

Ideal for Larger Branding

While left-chest embroidery remains a popular choice for professional uniforms, the printable outer fabric gives businesses greater flexibility when branding the RG147.

For example:

Left chest

Ideal for a smaller company logo and understated corporate branding.

Large back

Useful for larger company logos and maximum brand visibility.

Sleeve

Suitable for additional company or team identification.

Larger printed artwork

Particularly useful for events, promotional teams, clubs or organisations where the branding itself forms a more prominent part of the garment.

Our team checks your artwork before production and will advise if any adjustments are required.

Embroidery Is Also Available

Despite being specifically designed as a printable softshell, the RG147 can also be customised using embroidery.

Embroidery is particularly suitable where you want a traditional premium workwear finish, especially for a left-chest company logo.

For businesses unsure whether embroidery or print is more appropriate, we can recommend the most suitable method based on your logo, artwork and intended use.

Practical Pocket Design

The RG147 features:

• Two lower zipped pockets

• One zipped chest pocket

The zipped design provides secure storage while maintaining the jacket's clean professional appearance.

This makes the jacket practical for employees who need to carry smaller personal or work-related items throughout the day.

Ideal for Branded Workwear

The Ablaze is suitable for businesses and organisations looking for a professional, weather-resistant branded jacket, including:

• Construction companies

• Trades and contractors

• Facilities and maintenance teams

• Transport and logistics

• Outdoor service businesses

• Property and estate services

• Events and promotional teams

• Retail teams

• Corporate and office teams

• Sales representatives

• Clubs and organisations

• Charity teams

Its combination of weather protection, breathability and printable fabric makes it particularly useful where brand visibility is an important part of the uniform.

RG147 vs a Standard Softshell

The RG147 is particularly useful when you need more than a basic everyday softshell.

Its 3-layer construction, waterproof/breathable membrane and 300gsm weight give it a more substantial specification than lighter two-layer softshells.

For example, the Russell J420M is a 290gsm two-layer essential softshell aimed more at everyday corporate and workwear use.

The RG147 is better suited where weather protection, breathability and printable branding are particularly important.

RG147 vs the Russell J140M

The RG147 and Russell J140M are both 3-layer softshell options, but they have different strengths.

The RG147 Ablaze has a particularly strong focus on printable branding, making it attractive for businesses requiring larger or more prominent printed designs.

The J140M has a more traditional premium workwear appearance and is particularly well suited to embroidered company logos.

Rather than automatically choosing one over the other, consider how your team will use the jacket and how you want your branding to look.

Build a Complete Branded Uniform

The RG147 can form the outer layer of a coordinated company uniform.

For example:

RG147 Softshell + Branded Polo + Work Trousers

For colder conditions, it can also be combined with a branded fleece or sweatshirt to create a flexible layering system.

This allows employees to adapt their uniform according to the weather without compromising your company's visual identity.

Care Instructions

To help maintain the jacket and its performance:

• Cool machine wash

• Use Regatta Isotex cleaner or pure soap

• Do not bleach

• Do not tumble dry

• Do not iron

• Do not dry clean

For customised garments, we also recommend washing inside out, closing zips before washing and avoiding harsh detergents, fabric conditioners and overloading the washing machine.

Printed garments should be treated particularly carefully to help protect the branding.
