Softshell Work Jackets

A softshell work jacket is the ideal jacket for those working outdoors in changeable conditions. Thanks to the breathable, windproof, and water-repellent material, you stay comfortable and protected without compromising freedom of movement. Softshell jackets are also lightweight, making them perfect for everyday use, both at work and during leisure time.

At Unishore Workwear, you'll find a wide range of softshell work jackets from top brands like Helly Hansen, Blåkläder, Mascot, and Snickers Workwear. We deliver quickly and can print or embroider your jacket with company logos, so your team always looks professional.

Softshell Work Jackets

Why choose a softshell work jacket?

A softshell work jacket combines comfort, protection, and style in a single garment. The material is specially designed to block wind and light rain, while still offering sufficient breathability. This makes it an excellent choice for mechanics, logistics workers, construction professionals, and anyone who regularly works outdoors.

  • Flexible and comfortable for intensive work
  • Protects against cold, wind and light rain
  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Suitable as a mid-layer in cold seasons.
  • Available for both men and women

What is the difference between a softshell jacket and a hardshell jacket?

The difference between a softshell jacket and a hardshell jacket is comfort and protection.

  • A softshell jacket is more flexible, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday use or light rainy weather.
  • A hardshell jacket (like a raincoat) is more waterproof and designed for extreme conditions, but less breathable.

In other words: choose a softshell jacket for comfort and freedom of movement, and a hardshell jacket for maximum protection against persistent rain. Read our blog post for a more detailed explanation.

When do you wear a softshell work jacket?

A softshell work jacket is perfect for spring, autumn, and mild winter days. You can wear it directly over a T-shirt or polo shirt, or as a mid-layer under a raincoat or winter jacket in colder weather. Thanks to its stretch and light weight, the jacket is ideal for active professionals such as mechanics, construction workers, or warehouse employees.

Materials and properties

A softshell jacket consists of several layers that together ensure optimal performance:

  • Outer layer: water-repellent and windproof, often with a stretch fabric for extra freedom of movement.
  • Mid layer: provides insulation and protection from wind.
  • Inner layer: soft fleece lining that guarantees warmth and comfort.

The combination of these layers ensures that the jacket is both functional and comfortable. Care instructions: wash your softshell jacket at a low temperature (30°C) without fabric softener to maintain breathability and water-repellent properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a softshell jacket and a fleece jacket?

A fleece jacket primarily provides warmth, while a softshell jacket offers protection from wind and light rain. Softshells often have a fleece lining, making them comfortable and warm.

Is a softshell work jacket warm and waterproof?

A softshell jacket is warm and windproof, but usually water-repellent, not completely waterproof. They keep out light rain, but in prolonged downpours, a raincoat is better.

Can you make a softshell work jacket waterproof?

No, but by regularly impregnating the jacket with a special water-repellent agent, you can maintain or improve its water resistance.
