Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Print and Promo Softshell Gilet is a professional-grade outer layer designed for adults who need a blend of warmth, mobility, and branding versatility. Featuring a two-layer stretch construction with a comfortable micro polar fleece lining, it is an excellent choice for corporate uniforms, event staff, or casual outdoor work environments where a professional appearance is required. One caveat is that while it features a water-resistant finish, the gilet is intended primarily for layering and light protection rather than heavy-duty, waterproof outer gear.

FAQs
Is the gilet waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the Texpel Splash Eco finish, but it is not intended for heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can I add my company logo to this gilet?
Yes, it is specifically designed to be printer- and embroidery-friendly.
What material is the lining made of?

How should I clean the gilet?

Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The protective finish may have worn off; use a re-proofing spray designed for technical softshell garments.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for debris or fleece fibers caught in the track and clean with a soft brush; occasionally lubricating with a silicone zipper spray can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the Texpel finish, ensure the gilet is machine washed on a gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating over time. When preparing for custom printing or embroidery, ensure your vendor is aware of the two-layer bonded material so they can adjust the hoop tension appropriately. For longevity, air-drying is recommended; if machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the elastic fibers and fleece lining.
