Professional shell garments serve as the critical outer layer in sophisticated layering systems that keep workers dry, comfortable, and productive in the most challenging conditions.

Professional Softshell Technology and Construction

Blaklader softshell garments feature 100% polyester 3-layer softshell fabric that is wind and waterproof, breathable at 9 oz, providing optimal protection without excessive weight. The breathable wind and water-proof material with no taped seams makes the garment highly water resistant while maintaining the flexibility essential for active work.

This lightweight 3-layer softshell fabric with 4-way stretch provides optimal comfort and performance, ensuring workers maintain full range of motion while benefiting from comprehensive weather protection.

Hardshell Membrane Protection Systems

Professional hardshell garments provide the ultimate protective shell made from flexible and soft material for enhanced comfort and increased mobility. The membrane in the surface fabric prevents moisture from entering while allowing perspiration to escape, keeping workers dry throughout demanding shifts in challenging weather conditions.

Hardshell construction features breathable material with taped seams that provides EN343 3:3 standard protection, ideal for keeping wearers dry especially in bad weather conditions. The advanced membrane technology ensures 100% polyester oxford laminated construction that is waterproof 10000mm, windproof, and breathable 4000 g/m²/24H for professional-grade protection.

Comprehensive Shell Trouser Protection

Wind and waterproof shell trousers feature breathable material with taped seams designed to keep workers dry in rain and harsh conditions. Professional shell trousers incorporate high-waisted backs, side zippers extending to the knee, and integrated snow gaiters with openings for enhanced weather protection and ease of use.

Advanced shell trouser features include removable elasticated braces, adjustable leg ends with zippers and velcro closures, and CORDURA-reinforced fabric over knees for enhanced durability. These professional trousers are designed to handle demanding conditions while providing the mobility and protection essential for outdoor work applications.

High Visibility Shell Protection Options

The shell range includes comprehensive high visibility options that combine weather protection with enhanced worker safety compliance. Hi-vis shell garments feature certified EN ISO 20471 class visibility ratings with strategically placed reflective tape and bright safety colours that maintain visibility even in challenging weather conditions.

Professional high visibility shell pants are designed to handle extreme weather while keeping workers safe and visible, featuring 50mm wide reflective tape and comprehensive reflective tapes around legs. The combination of weather protection and visibility compliance makes these garments essential for construction, road work, and industrial applications where both protection and safety are critical.

Advanced Stretch and Mobility Features

Modern shell garments incorporate sophisticated stretch technology including 4-way stretch fabric that provides optimal comfort and performance during demanding physical work. The stretch properties ensure workers maintain full range of motion without compromising weather protection integrity or durability.

Professional mobility features include pre-bent construction, ergonomic design elements, and strategic stretch panel placement that accommodates natural movement patterns. Advanced fabric technologies ensure shell garments move with workers rather than restricting movement, essential for maintaining productivity during challenging weather conditions.

Professional Layering System Integration

Shell garments are specifically engineered to function as the critical outer layer in comprehensive layering systems, working seamlessly with base layers, insulation layers, and mid-layers to provide complete thermal and weather protection. The sophisticated design ensures optimal moisture transfer from inner layers while preventing external moisture penetration.

Professional layering compatibility includes features such as extended backs, adjustable hems with drawstrings, and sizing that accommodates multiple underlayers without restricting movement. This systematic approach to weather protection allows workers to adjust their protection level based on changing conditions throughout the work day.

Advanced Ventilation and Breathability

Shell garments feature sophisticated ventilation systems including mesh lining panels that provide excellent ventilation while maintaining weather protection integrity. The fleece mesh lining keeps comfort optimal while advanced membrane technology allows moisture transfer from inside while preventing external water penetration.

Professional breathability features include strategically placed mesh panels, ventilation systems, and membrane technologies that prevent overheating during active work. The advanced breathability ensures workers remain comfortable during varying activity levels while maintaining consistent weather protection performance.

Professional Pocket and Storage Systems

Shell garments incorporate comprehensive pocket systems designed to remain functional in challenging weather conditions. Professional storage includes chest pockets with zippers, front pockets with secure closures, and specialized storage that maintains accessibility while preserving weather protection integrity.

Advanced storage features include leg pockets with flaps and velcro closures, back pockets with secure fastening systems, and ruler pockets with pen storage that function effectively even when wearing thick gloves. The comprehensive storage approach ensures workers can access essential tools and equipment while maintaining weather protection.

Certification and Performance Standards

Professional shell garments carry comprehensive certifications including EN 343 protective clothing to withstand bad weather, EN ISO 20471 for high visibility applications, and specialized performance ratings for waterproof and breathability characteristics. These certifications ensure reliable performance meeting professional safety and protection requirements.

Advanced performance specifications include waterproof ratings up to 15000mm, breathability ratings up to 4000 g/m²/24H, and windproof construction that meets demanding professional applications.
