Custom Port Authority Unisex Core Soft Shell Jacket

The Custom Port Authority Core Soft Shell Jacket from Winks Design Studio is a practical, well-built layering piece that works as hard as the people wearing it. Built from a woven polyester shell bonded to a water-resistant film insert and a microfleece lining, this jacket is rated at 1000MM waterproof and 1000G/M2 breathable, which means it handles real outdoor conditions while staying comfortable through active wear. Add your logo, team name, or custom design and you have a piece that functions as both a quality jacket and a branded statement.

The zip-through cadet collar with chin guard blocks wind at the neck where it matters most. Reverse coil zippers and front zippered pockets add functional, clean-looking details that hold up through the kind of regular use a work or team jacket sees. Open cuffs and a straight hem keep the silhouette versatile enough for jobsite wear, sideline coverage, and everything in between. Available in solid and heather colorways, with the solid version built from 100% polyester and heathers featuring a 92/8 poly/spandex blend, both options are DTF and sublimation-ready for sharp, durable custom decoration.

Why This Stands Out:
A 1000MM waterproof rating provides reliable weather resistance for outdoor work, events, and active use.
The microfleece lining adds warmth without the stiffness of a heavier insulated jacket, keeping it layerable and comfortable across a wide temperature range.
A 1000G/M2 breathability rating prevents overheating during active wear, which matters for a jacket that gets used rather than just displayed.
The zip-through cadet collar with chin guard closes off the neck completely, one of the most practical cold-weather details a jacket can have.
DTF and sublimation compatibility makes this jacket a clean, professional canvas for logos, team graphics, and custom branding.
Available in solid and heather options to fit a wide range of brand palettes and color programs.

Perfect For:
This custom Port Authority jacket is a go-to for employee uniform programs, branded company outerwear, team jackets, school spirit apparel, volunteer organization gear, and corporate gifting. It works for group orders of any size and holds up well through the kind of repeated wear a uniform piece sees every week. If your team, business, or organization needs outerwear that represents you every time someone reaches for their jacket, this is a strong answer.

FAQ:

Q: What customization method is used on this jacket?
A: Custom decoration is done using DTF (Direct to Film) transfers or sublimation depending on the design. Both methods produce vibrant, durable results on the Port Authority woven shell.

Q: Is this jacket waterproof or water resistant?
A: The Core Soft Shell carries a 1000MM waterproof rating, making it effective against light rain and wind. It is not designed for sustained heavy rain or full immersion.

Q: What is the difference between the solid and heather versions?
A: Solid colors use a 100% polyester woven shell. Heather options use a 92% polyester / 8% spandex blend. Both are bonded to the same water-resistant film and microfleece lining.

Q: Does this jacket fit true to size?
A: Port Authority soft shell jackets run consistently to size. If you plan to layer underneath, sizing up gives you more room without compromising the fit.

Q: Can I order in bulk for a team or company?
A: Yes. Bulk and group orders are available. Contact us with your design, quantities, and color needs to get started.
