What are softshell work jackets?
A softshell work jacket is made of woven polyester. In some of the Tricorp softshell work jackets, spandex has also been used to make the fabric more elastic and give it more stretch. The tricorp softshell work jackets have a PU intermediate layer. Thanks to the intermediate layer, the softshell remains breathable. Even if you exert yourself a lot, you will not sweat thanks to the breathability of the midlayer. Because you do not sweat in a softshell, you can do your work comfortably. The Tricorp softshells are flexible, water-repellent and windproof. This is particularly useful when you work in bad conditions, such as storms and rain. At the same time, you maintain your freedom of movement thanks to the stretchy fabric. For example, take a look at our Tricorp softshell orange, a softshell jacket that meets the EN ISO 20471 standard for visibility.
Most softshells have 3 layers: the outer layer is water-repellent, the middle layer is windproof and breathable and the inner layer keeps you warm. Tricorp Softshell jackets are also ideal for embroidering a logo or (company) name.
How did the softshell work jacket come about?
The idea of a softshell arose because professionals regularly worked with a fleece vest and a waterproof raincoat over it. This combination is far from ideal; A raincoat does not breathe, so sweating during exertion is unavoidable. This is a very unpleasant circumstance to work in.
Why choose a Tricorp softshell work jacket?

However, the breathable PU intermediate layer will not make you sweat, as is often the case with a raincoat. This means you can continue to do your work without sweating and stay nice and dry. Softshell jackets are very popular in the Netherlands because of the changeable weather. It is also a very popular item among professionals who work outside a lot.
