SUMMARY

The Otawa winter fleece jacket CXS is a formidable thermal barrier designed for professionals exposed to extreme cold.

Its strength lies in its exceptional density of 450 g/m², offering body heat retention far superior to standard fleeces. Equipped with an anti-pilling treatment for longevity, it features elasticated cuffs and a drawstring hem to seal out draughts. Its three zipped pockets and reflective inserts make it as practical as it is safe.

The ultimate mid-layer to slip under a parka, or to wear on its own in cold, dry weather.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Men's Severe Cold Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket Bedford — CXS

Protection Severe Cold
TPU membrane 8,000 mm
Breathability 5,000 g/m²/24h
Thermal protection −20 °C*
Underarm vents Vent without opening up

A lined softshell that follows the movement and vents under the arms

The Bedford jacket is built in softshell: a supple material backed with a TPU membrane that resists water up to 8,000 mm and lets through 5,000 g/m²/24h of vapour. Its 100 g/m² polyester padding provides the warmth, its underarm vents let that warmth back out as soon as the work gets physical. Around it, everything adjusts: a detachable hood, a fleece-lined collar, inner cuffs at the wrists backed by an outer adjustment, and a drawcord at the hem. The segmented reflective tape bends with the fabric, and a detachable ID card holder sits in the right chest pocket.

The Grand-Froid expert's view

Softshell means soft shell. It is a fabric made of three layers bonded together: a hard-wearing outer face, a membrane in the middle that stops water and wind, and a soft lining against the body. The whole thing stays supple in cold weather, where a coated canvas stiffens, and it stretches enough to follow the arm. That is what you come to a softshell for: a jacket you forget you are wearing.

Men's hi-vis softshell winter jacket Bedford CXS with underarm vents
What is it for?

This jacket suits active outdoor posts in winter, where high visibility is required and where the intensity changes through the day.

  • Site and road works: handling, groundwork, tool use, where the suppleness of the fabric counts as much as the warmth
  • Plant and HGV driving: the cut does not catch in the cab, and the hood comes off when it gets in the way
  • Logistics, airside and port areas: back and forth between the loading bay and the open air, where the vents make the difference
  • Maintenance and call-outs: technical work alternating with waiting, with the fleece collar closing off the neck
  • Security and surveillance: long outdoor posts, where visibility and cold protection are both required

Thermal protection and breathability

The membrane works in both directions: it stops water up to 8,000 mm and lets 5,000 g/m²/24h of vapour escape. It is the second figure that counts most on an active post, because wet insulation loses heat far faster than dry insulation — and the underarm vents take over when the membrane alone is not enough. Worth knowing: the 8,000 mm applies to the fabric, the seams not being sealed; in heavy, prolonged rain, water can come through along the seam lines. The jacket meets EN 14058, the standard for cold environments, with a measured insulation of 0.195 m²·K/W on the finished garment, and EN ISO 20471 at class 2 in size S, class 3 from size M upwards.

Size guide

Take your usual size: the jacket is already cut to take a fleece underneath. The measurements below are those of the jacket laid flat, not body measurements.

Size (cm) S M L XL 2XL 3XL
GARMENT LENGTH 81 82 83 83 84 84
GARMENT WIDTH 56 60 64 68 72 76
SLEEVE LENGTH 71 71.5 72 72.5 73 73.5

Measurements in cm, taken flat. Manufacturing tolerance ± 5%.

The length moves by only 3 cm across the whole range and the sleeves by 2.5 cm: it is the width that grows, from 56 to 76. That is the row to look at if you plan to wear a fleece or a thick jumper underneath.

Care & Durability
  • Wash regularly: on a hi-vis garment, cleanliness is part of the protection — tape covered in dust or grease no longer returns light
  • Remove the hood and the ID card holder, and empty the pockets before washing
  • Close every zip, including those of the vents: left open, they catch the fabric and strain the seams
  • Wash inside out, at low temperature, on a delicate programme
  • Use no fabric softener and no bleach: softening agents leave a film that blocks the membrane and reduces breathability
  • Do not iron the reflective tape — the heat of the iron lifts it off its backing
  • Air dry, the jacket open on a wide hanger, away from any direct heat source
  • Check the reflective tape regularly: on a safety garment it is the tape that signals replacement, ahead of any wear to the fabric

Why choose the Bedford softshell jacket?

Because it is built to move. The softshell follows the gesture, the segmented tape bends with it, and the underarm vents release heat without your having to open the jacket into the wind. The TPU membrane keeps water and wind outside, the fleece collar and the inner cuffs close off the rest.

The three-layer system:

  • 1st layer — base: next to the skin. Captures body heat and moves sweat outwards.
  • 2nd layer — mid: fleece or thermal sweatshirt. Insulates and holds warm air around the body.
  • 3rd layer — outer (this product's role): blocks the wind, stops the rain and keeps the heat produced by the first two.

* Indicative temperature. Perceived warmth varies with activity, body type, humidity, wind and the layers worn underneath.
