Engineered for Performance

The Ardmore Waterproof Shell Jacket represents a significant investment in workforce protection, utilising Regatta Professional's proprietary Hydrafort 5000 technology. This advanced fabric engineering provides a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, ensuring that the garment remains impenetrable during prolonged exposure to downpours and adverse weather conditions. For facility managers and procurement officers, the inclusion of fully taped seams is a critical detail; this manufacturing process seals the needle holes created during stitching, preventing water ingress at the most vulnerable points of the jacket. The outer layer is crafted from a peached polyester fabric, which not only offers robust durability against the abrasions common in industrial environments but also presents a softer, more premium hand-feel than standard crisp nylons. This balance of rugged performance and aesthetic quality makes it an ideal choice for client-facing roles where maintaining a professional appearance is as vital as staying dry. Furthermore, the windproof nature of the Hydrafort fabric acts as a thermal barrier, significantly reducing the risk of cold stress during outdoor shifts. When paired with high-performance waterproofs and trousers, this jacket forms an integral part of a comprehensive all-weather uniform solution.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Beyond its weather-defying specifications, the Ardmore jacket is meticulously designed for the day-to-day comfort of active employees. The interior is lined with a high-grade polyester mesh, a strategic design choice that promotes airflow and prevents the clammy sensation often associated with non-breathable waterproofs. This moisture management system allows perspiration to escape, keeping the wearer dry from the inside out during periods of physical exertion. The cut of the jacket is generous yet tailored, accommodating layers underneath without restricting movement, while the adjustable shockcord hem and adjustable cuffs allow for a personalised fit that seals out drafts. For the modern worker, connectivity is key; the inclusion of a dedicated internal pocket with earphone cord access ensures that communication devices or media players can be used safely and securely, protected from the elements. This attention to ergonomic detail ensures that staff remain comfortable, focused, and productive throughout their shift, regardless of the external conditions.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Event Management: keeping stewards dry and identifiable during outdoor festivals and sports events.
• Logistics & Delivery: protecting drivers and warehouse staff during loading operations in the rain.
• Corporate Field Teams: providing a smart, branded outer layer for surveyors and site inspectors.
