Navy Blue Softshell Jackets from £10.52: The Safer Middle Ground Between Black and Colour

Navy blue is a classic, professional colour that hides dirt well while maintaining a smart appearance. Softshell jackets are particularly suited for uniforms because they combine the professional look of a structured coat with the technical benefits of outdoor gear. They are windproof, water-resistant, and breathable, making them ideal for staff who move between indoor and outdoor environments. Many of our navy blue softshells, such as those from Result or Kariban, are designed with clean lines and minimal branding, providing an excellent surface for corporate embroidery or printing. This ensures your team looks cohesive and professional while staying protected from the elements.

Most items in our navy blue softshell category are highly water-resistant, and many are specifically rated as a waterproof softshell. Technical softshells typically feature a 3-layer bonded fabric: a durable outer layer, a breathable membrane, and a fleece inner. While they offer excellent protection against rain and showers—often with ratings up to 10,000mm—they are primarily designed for breathability and movement. For heavy, prolonged downpours, a fully taped waterproof coat might be necessary, but for most work and outdoor activities, a navy blue softshell provides the perfect balance of weather protection and comfort without the bulk of a traditional hardshell.

Yes, our navy blue softshell gilets and jackets are specifically selected for their suitability as blank apparel for customization. The smooth outer surface of a softshell is ideal for various branding techniques, particularly embroidery, which provides a high-end, durable finish. Whether you are looking to create custom gear for sports clubs or company welcome packs, these garments serve as a premium canvas. We offer a variety of styles, including men's and women's fits, ensuring that your branded apparel looks great on every member of your team.

A softshell bodywarmer (also known as a softshell gilet or vest) is a sleeveless garment designed to provide core warmth while allowing for complete freedom of movement in the arms. It is an excellent choice for layering over a shirt or hoodie. A softshell fleece, on the other hand, usually refers to a softshell jacket that has a bonded microfleece lining for added thermal insulation. While both provide wind resistance and some level of water repellency, the bodywarmer is better for active tasks where arm mobility is crucial, whereas the full jacket or fleece-lined softshell offers more comprehensive protection against the cold and wind.
