Branded workwear plays a crucial role in creating a professional impression for many businesses reflecting their companies image and identity. In a marketplace where there are so many options available, the softshell jacket seems to stand out among the rest. They are smart, versatile and can be easily decorated. They have a great balance between comfort, style and functionality. Here are just some of the reasons why its an obvious choice in the industry:
Versatility
The softshell is known to be extremely versatile within a wide range of work environments from outdoor to office. They are durable and breathable, yet extremely comfortable so you are able to take on any task.
Weather Resistant
The softshell can take on any weather conditions. They are usually water resistant and windproof and although made from breathable material they are extremely warm. They stand the test of time and can be fully functional in all seasons.
Professional Aesthetic
The softshell jacket has a polished and clean appearance that is suitable for any business culture. The soft, clean looking fabric makes it the perfect canvas for any company logo or branding. They can make a subtle but effective marketing tool.
Comfortable and Breathable
Workwear no longer has to be heavy and restrictive, the softshell jacket allows it's wearers to be able to move freely in their work environment, while keeping their body temperature regulated. They are not bulky and can be layered in colder months and can be easily packed away when not needed during warmer months.
We asked some of our brands some questions on their softshell options.
You sell softshells and the more traditional fleece options, what do you think are the main features that set these two extremely popular workwear choices apart?
The main difference is the fabric, both are outerwear products. The RX500 Pro 2-layer softshell jacket is made from 97% Polyester/ 3% Elastane Softshell fabric this ideal layer will keep you warm outdoors. Features front zip fastening and front hand pockets. Has a chin guard, internal storm flap and adjustable shock cord hem. The fabric is shower resistant and wind resistant too to protect against most weathers.
Our RX402 Pro Fleece, is made from comfortable yet durable 100% Polyester Fleece, it is cut to a regular fit and effortlessly fastens with a full zip. Has two hand pockets that will keep essentials close. Also features adjustable shock cord hem and elasticated cuffs to keep the heat in. An easy layer to keep you warm during the winter months.

Softshell Jackets are often considered good options for workwear due to their combination of comfort, functionality, and versatility. They are designed to provide a comfortable fit whilst allowing for a good range of motion. Regatta softshells are usually water-resistant and windproof, offering protection against light rain and windy conditions. This makes them suitable for outdoor work or for situations where you might encounter changing weather conditions.
Whether you are working outdoors or in an office softshells provide a sleek professional appearance. They can be easily layered to allow you to adjust to different temperatures during the day.
The RG150 and RG151 Uproar Softshells are our most popular. Available in Men's and Ladies styles in 7 different colours they allow a corporate uniform for the whole team.
