Women's Softshell Jackets & Coats

A 2-layer softshell jacket consists of an outer polyester/elastane fabric bonded directly to an inner fleece lining. This construction is lightweight, flexible, and provides excellent warmth for casual or indoor professional use. In contrast, a 3-layer softshell includes a technical TPU membrane sandwiched between the outer shell and the inner lining. This membrane significantly enhances the jacket's performance by providing high levels of water resistance and windproofing while remaining breathable. For outdoor work or active sports, a 3-layer waterproof softshell is generally recommended for its superior protection against the elements.

Yes, our entire range of women's softshell jackets is specifically designed for customization. The smooth, tightly woven outer surface of softshell fabric is ideal for various decoration methods. Embroidery is the most popular choice for corporate branding as it offers a premium, durable finish that withstands regular laundering. Heat transfer printing is also effective, especially for detailed logos or smaller batches. Many of our jackets, such as those from Result and Regatta, are 'tag-free' or feature printable surfaces to make the branding process seamless for businesses and promotional agencies.

Softshell jackets are primarily designed to be water-resistant and windproof rather than fully waterproof like a hardshell rain jacket. Most of our softshells feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that causes water to bead off the surface, which is sufficient for light rain and showers. Technical 3-layer models often boast water resistance ratings up to 8000mm, providing significant protection. However, because softshells prioritize breathability and flexibility, they may not have fully taped seams. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, they are best used as a high-performance mid-layer or for short-duration outdoor tasks.

When selecting a women's softshell, consider the intended use and layering needs. Our collection includes various cuts, from 'slim fit' which offers a modern, contoured silhouette, to 'regular fit' which allows for more layering underneath. Since softshell fabric often contains elastane for 4-way stretch, these jackets provide a flattering feminine fit without restricting movement. If the jacket is for active outdoor use, a closer fit helps with moisture management and heat retention. For corporate uniforms, a fitted style ensures a professional appearance. Always refer to the specific brand size guides, as fits can vary between manufacturers like SOL'S and Kariban.
