Men's Softshell Jacket from £5.54: The Complete Guide for Businesses and Teams

Unlike a traditional hardshell coat, a softshell is built from a woven, stretch fabric that flexes with the body rather than sitting stiffly on top of it. Most models combine a wind-resistant outer layer with a soft inner lining, giving decent thermal insulation without the bulk you'd get from a full winter coat. That combination makes softshells particularly popular for teams that move around a lot during the working day — think delivery drivers, event staff, or outdoor tradespeople — where a rigid waterproof jacket would simply get in the way.

Construction generally falls into two categories:

• 2-layer jackets — lighter, more breathable, and easier to print or embroider on, ideal for everyday wear or moderate outdoor use.
• 3-layer jackets — built with an added membrane for stronger wind and rain resistance, better suited to teams working outdoors for extended periods.

The same softshell range extends beyond men's sizing too — women's softshell jackets and kids' softshell jackets share the same construction options, making it easy to outfit a whole family or a mixed-age team in matching styles.

Sizing runs from 2XS through to 6XL across most brands, with both fitted and slim fit cuts available for a more tailored look if a boxier workwear silhouette isn't what you're after. Weight matters too: lighter jackets suit spring/autumn use or indoor-to-outdoor roles, while heavier, insulated models (some featuring quilted or fleece-lined interiors) are worth considering for teams working outside through winter.

Brands like Regatta and Result dominate the catalogue for good reason — both offer consistent sizing across their ranges, which matters a lot when you're ordering for a team of mixed builds and want the fit to stay predictable from one size to the next.

Colour-wise, the men's range covers everything from workwear staples to more visible options: black, white, red, and green are all in stock, alongside several other shades depending on the brand.

Softshell fabric holds branding well, but the technique matters. Embroidery is the go-to choice for a premium, long-lasting finish and works reliably across almost every fabric weight in the range.

For printed logos, look specifically for jackets marked as "printable" — these use a smoother, more mechanically stable fabric designed to hold screen prints and vinyl transfers without cracking or peeling after repeated washes.

A full team look usually goes beyond the jacket itself: pairing it with matching men's t-shirts, men's polos, or men's sweats and fleece keeps the branding consistent whether staff are indoors or out.

For larger orders, a few practical details are worth confirming upfront.

Check the water resistance rating if the jacket will genuinely be worn in the rain: some models offer up to 8000mm of resistance, which is a meaningful step up from a basic water-repellent finish. Also look out for functional details like chin guards, internal storm flaps, and adjustable hem cords, which make a real difference in comfort once the jacket is actually being used outdoors rather than just sitting on a shelf.

Since this is a bulk-focused catalogue, there's no minimum order requirement, so it's possible to trial a single jacket before committing to a full team order.

Wash at 30°C and skip the fabric softener, which breaks down the water-repellent coating over time. Air-drying is best, especially for 3-layer jackets, since tumble drying can damage the internal membrane and shorten the jacket's effective lifespan.
