Portwest DX4 Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket
This high visibility softshell jacket combines cutting-edge breathable ripstop fabric with exceptional protection for professional work environments. Engineered with a three-layer construction, the DX4 delivers water-repellent performance through PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco finishing, allowing water to bead away from the surface whilst maintaining breathability. The sports-inspired design features an extended back panel, ergonomically shaped hood, and dynamically contoured sleeves for unrestricted movement. With six strategically placed pockets, adjustable cuffs, and heat-applied segmented reflective striping using premium HiVisTex Pro tape, this softshell jacket provides both functionality and visibility on site. The breathable mesh lining ensures comfort during extended wear, whilst the UPF 40+ fabric offers protection against UV exposure.

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
We've chosen this softshell jacket for professionals who refuse to compromise between protection and practicality. The three-layer fabric technology works hard to keep moisture out whilst allowing your skin to breathe, making it ideal for active work where you're moving between indoor and outdoor spaces. The extended back panel is a genuine game-changer if you're bending and reaching frequently, providing proper coverage where you need it most. The multiple pockets are genuinely useful rather than decorative, giving you proper storage for radios, phones, and ID cards without creating bulk. What sets this jacket apart is the flexibility of the ripstop material combined with the pre-shaped sleeves, meaning you won't feel restricted when you're working. For anyone spending their day on construction sites, railway environments, or anywhere visibility matters, this is the softshell jacket that delivers both protection and mobility.
