A softshell jacket offers a great alternative to a fleece or heavier jacket if the weather improves, but this is no ordinary softshell. The Sioen Playford softshell jacket is a high-tech, high-spec garment that not only offers electric arc protection, but also includes a host of other features. It offers inherently flame-retardant protection which means these properties won’t wash out and the inclusion of antistatic yarn provides electrostatic dissipative qualities too. Meanwhile, the hi-vis colour helps to improve your visibility to others in low-light conditions such as dark, enclosed spaces, and it even features protection against limited chemical splash and thermal resistance to cold. Multiple pockets and gas detector loops mean that all your work essentials can be kept close to ensure great working efficiency.

• Provides protection against hazardous welding techniques that may cause high levels of spatter and radiant heat, as well as some levels of flame spread, convective heat, contact heat and limited chemical splash
• Flame-retardant, high-visibility reflective tape works to ensure the wearer remains highly noticeable even in low-light conditions
• Features three inset pockets on the exterior (one to the chest with a zip closure) and one internal pocket, in addition to a gas detector loop
• Round inset sleeves with narrowing by touch-and-close fastening for a secure fit
