Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Print & Promo Softshell Jacket is designed for adults seeking a durable, comfortable, and customizable outerwear option for corporate or promotional use. Its key benefit lies in its excellent printability and embroidery-friendliness, combined with windproof and water-resistant properties. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for light to moderate weather conditions. This jacket features a breathable, two-layer construction with a fleece backing for warmth, mechanical stretch for ease of movement, and secure zipped pockets.

FAQs

What is the primary use for this jacket?

This jacket is ideal for corporate wear, team uniforms, promotional events, and any situation where customization through printing or embroidery is desired, combined with protection from wind and light rain.

How water-resistant is the fabric?

The jacket features an extremely water-resistant Texpel™ Splash Eco finish. Water beads away from the fabric surface, making it suitable for light rain or splashes, but it is not designed for heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The jacket has a micro polar fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer insulating garments.

How do I wash and care for the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners to maintain the water-resistant properties.

What materials is the jacket made of?

The shell fabric is 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, bonded to a 100% Polyester Micro Fleece. The total fabric weight is 280g.

Does the jacket have secure pockets?

Yes, it features two lower external front zip secure pockets and two internal pockets for safe storage.

Is this jacket suitable for active sports?

While the mechanical stretch allows for ease of movement, the jacket is primarily designed for corporate and casual wear. For high-intensity sports, specialized activewear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof gear may be needed. The Texpel™ finish may also degrade over time; consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for softshell fabrics after several washes.

Garment feels less breathable after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability. Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel can sometimes help restore breathability.

Embroidery or print is peeling or damaged

This typically occurs during washing or drying. Ensure you follow the care instructions precisely. For future customizations, consult with a professional decorator about the best application methods for softshell fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).

  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
