Engineered for Performance

The Craghoppers Expert Basecamp Softshell Jacket is a versatile cornerstone for any corporate clothing strategy, blending smart aesthetics with genuine outdoor performance. Engineered from a 270gsm recycled polyester and elastane blend, this jacket provides an effective shield against wind and light showers, thanks to its EcoShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. The fabric technology allows for breathability while maintaining water resistance, preventing the 'greenhouse effect' often associated with cheaper outerwear. The inclusion of elastane ensures the jacket moves with the wearer, maintaining a professional silhouette without restricting arm movement—crucial for driving, lifting, or operating machinery. Furthermore, the striped microfleece backing offers essential thermal regulation, trapping body heat in cooler conditions without adding bulk. For procurement managers, this softshell jacket represents a sustainable choice, with approximately 40 plastic bottles recycled to produce each unit, aligning your company uniform with modern environmental standards.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for the active professional, the Expert Basecamp Softshell prioritises all-day comfort. The soft-touch microfleece interior feels comfortable against the skin or over a shirt, making it a popular choice for staff who transition between office and field environments. The cut is modern and agile, avoiding the boxy fit of traditional workwear, ensuring your team looks presentable in front of clients. Functional utility is provided by three zipped pockets, offering secure storage for phones, keys, and security passes. The fabric is low-maintenance, resisting creases and drying quickly after washing, which is essential for employees managing their own uniform care. The adjustable hem and elasticated bound cuffs allow for a customisable fit that seals out drafts, ensuring staff remain warm and focused on their tasks. It is an ideal mid-weight layer that bridges the gap between a heavy coat and a light fleece.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Client-facing roles requiring a smart, uniform appearance.
• Logistics and delivery drivers needing warmth and mobility.
• Event staff working in variable indoor and outdoor temperatures.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The smooth surface of the softshell fabric provides a pristine canvas for high-quality printing or embroidery. It is the perfect garment to showcase your corporate identity. To build a complete outfit, match with work trousers for a cohesive, professional appearance across your entire workforce.
