The soft shell vest is one of the more versatile pieces in corporate casual and outdoor program wardrobes. No sleeves means no restriction on arm movement and easy layering over anything from a polo to a long-sleeve tee, while the soft shell construction handles wind and light moisture without the bulk of a full jacket. The Sport-Tek ST981 delivers that utility at a wholesale price that makes outfitting a full team or staff practical.
The exterior resists wind and water while the interior provides just enough insulation for cool weather comfort without overheating during active use. Front zip pockets keep essentials accessible, and the clean full-zip silhouette looks polished enough for corporate settings while being functional enough for outdoor work and athletic programs. Left chest embroidery is the most common decoration approach and the soft shell surface handles it cleanly.
Available in sizes S through 4XL in a range of colors. For a full-sleeve version in the same soft shell construction, the CornerStone CSJ70 Workwear Soft Shell Jacket is worth comparing for programs that need additional arm coverage.
FAQ
Is the ST981 waterproof or just water resistant? Water resistant. The soft shell construction repels light rain and wind but is not rated as fully waterproof. For heavy rain exposure, a hard shell or fully seam-sealed jacket would be the appropriate choice.
Is it good for embroidery? Yes. Left chest logo placement is the standard approach on soft shell vests and the ST981 handles it well. The structured surface holds stitching cleanly without excessive puckering.
