Find The Best Softshell Work Jacket For Your Needs
Before choosing the best soft shell jacket for your work needs and environment, consider the following points:
Brands
Look for reputable workwear brands and suppliers, so that you know you are getting authentic, high-quality products. We pride ourselves in only stocking quality workwear from manufacturers you can trust.
Size
Different manufacturers may calculate their sizing differently, meaning the same person might be a small in one brand but a medium in another. Check a products size guide (available on the product's page) for more precise measurements.
Weight
Wearing heavier jackets during the workday can restrict movement. Consider also that thicker jackets can become cumbersome during strenuous labour, causing the wearer to overheat. Wearing several thin layers is often better than just one thick layer.
Thermal Insulation
If you're expecting the work jacket to be worn during winter, at night or generally in cold weather, we recommend choosing a jacket for work that is thermally insulated.
Colour & Logo
Does your workwear need to be a certain colour to conform with your company or industry colours? Much of our workwear can be personalised with a logo, crest, and colour!
Hi Vis
Does your site require workwear to conform to EN ISO 20471 high visibility standards? Under these standards, workwear worn next to railway tracks must be high-vis orange.
Waterproofing
Consider if you'd benefit from waterproofing in your day to day role. Please bear in mind that as the waterproofing level of your workwear increases, the breathability rating decreases.
Hood
Depending on your environment and season, you may require a hood on your work jacket. Remember to consider your site's safety precautions when deciding if you need a hood!
Pockets
Consider if you need extra pockets, tool loops or reinforcements to existing pockets.
Water Resistance
Softshell jackets are usually considered "water resistant" but are rarely fully "waterproof". They are designed for the short showers likely in the Spring and Autumn months when the jacket is needed, to provide that little extra warmth.
