Orange Softshell Jackets & Coats

Orange softshell jackets are a premier choice for professional environments that demand high visibility and physical protection. The vibrant orange hue ensures that staff remain easily identifiable on-site, which is crucial for safety in sectors like construction or logistics. Beyond visibility, the softshell fabric provides a technical advantage over standard outerwear. It typically features a three-layer construction: a durable outer shell, a breathable yet windproof membrane, and a comfortable inner lining, often made of microfleece. This combination allows for maximum mobility while shielding the wearer from the elements, making it an essential component of a modern professional uniform.

The level of weather protection varies depending on the specific model chosen. Many of our orange softshell jackets, such as those from Regatta or Kariban, feature advanced technical membranes that offer significant water resistance, often rated up to 8000mm. While a standard softshell coat is designed to repel rain and block wind during active use, some models also include taped seams for enhanced waterproof performance. It is important to check the specific breathability and waterproof ratings of each garment to ensure it meets your environmental needs. These jackets are engineered to keep you dry during light to moderate rainfall while allowing moisture to escape during physical exertion.

Yes, our orange softshell jackets are specifically designed to be used as blank canvases for branding and customisation. The smooth, technical outer surface of the softshell material is particularly well-suited for high-quality embroidery, which provides a professional and long-lasting finish for corporate logos. Many of our jackets even include dedicated embroidery access points to make the customisation process more efficient for printers. Whether you are looking to outfit a small team or require a large bulk order for a national campaign, these jackets offer a premium look that enhances your brand's visibility while providing practical, high-performance gear for your employees.

While both provide warmth, they serve different primary functions in a layering system. A fleece jacket, like some of the SOL'S models in our range, is primarily an insulation layer designed to trap heat close to the body. It is highly breathable but offers limited protection against wind and rain. In contrast, a softshell jacket is a more versatile outer layer. It combines the warmth of a fleece lining with a windproof and water-resistant outer shell. This makes the softshell more durable and better suited for unpredictable weather conditions where you need protection from the wind and light rain without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat.

To maintain the performance of the water-resistant membranes and breathable fabrics in your orange softshell, proper care is essential. We recommend washing these garments at lower temperatures and avoiding the use of fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the technical membrane and reduce breathability. It is often best to air dry the jackets rather than using a tumble dryer, although some manufacturers suggest a brief, low-heat cycle to reactivate the water-repellent coating. Always refer to the specific care label on your garment to ensure its longevity, especially when used frequently in demanding outdoor or industrial environments.
