The Condor Westpac Softshell Jacket is a three-layer professional softshell built for law enforcement, first responders, and security professionals who need a polished, embroidery-ready outer layer that holds up in field conditions. A 100% polyester 4-way elastic outer shell pairs with a breathable film membrane mid-layer and a super fine fleece inner layer to deliver warmth, weather resistance, and all-day mobility. Available in Black, Navy, and Coyote Brown in sizes S through 3XL, with shoulder patch panels sized at 3.5" x 4" for unit emblems or agency insignia.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement and agency professionals: the clean front panels and low-profile design accept embroidery and custom emblems, making the Westpac a direct fit for department uniforms and duty wear.
• First responders and security personnel: the slim silhouette layers under gear without binding, and the dual-layer reinforced forearms handle daily abrasion at entry and egress points.
• Plain-clothes and tactical professionals: the minimalist styling blends into urban environments, carrying none of the visual signature of bulkier tactical outerwear.

Construction and materials

The Westpac uses a three-layer build. The outer layer is a high-density 100% polyester 4-way elastic fabric treated with a PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) finish, so light rain and moisture bead off without the health and environmental concerns associated with legacy fluorinated coatings. The mid-layer breathable film membrane manages vapor transmission, preventing moisture buildup during sustained activity. The inner layer is a super fine fleece that retains warmth without adding bulk.

The forearms receive a double-layer reinforcement — a targeted construction detail that extends wear life at the highest-contact zones on any working jacket. Hook-and-loop cuff adjustment and a drawstring waistband let the wearer dial in fit and seal out drafts without removing gloves.

Pockets and organization

Six total pockets across the jacket. Two slash hand pockets provide fast, gloved access at the hip. Two sleeve pockets sit on the forearm and each includes a patch panel for additional identification or insignia. Two internal pockets add concealed storage for documents, a phone, or small essentials. The dual-slider YKK zipper runs the full front placket, allowing the jacket to open from the bottom for seated wear or to vent during high-output movement.

Customization and agency use

The Westpac is the minimalist counterpart to Condor's Phantom jacket — same professional intent, no hood, which keeps the collar and shoulder area clean and flat for embroidery. The shoulder patch panels (3.5" x 4") are sized to accept standard agency or unit emblems. The front panels carry no branding or external graphics, giving embroidery shops and in-house decorators a flat, unobstructed surface. This jacket fits directly into agency uniform programs as an authorized outerwear layer.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Is this jacket embroidery-friendly?

Yes. The Westpac is specifically designed to accommodate embroidery and agency identification. Its clean front panels and low-profile design make it well-suited for law enforcement, first responders, and security professionals who require custom emblems or unit patches.

Does the Westpac have a hood?

No. The Westpac omits the hood intentionally, which keeps the collar and shoulder area clean and flat — a practical advantage for embroidery and for professionals whose agency dress standards do not permit hooded outerwear.

How does the Westpac differ from the Condor Summit Softshell?

The key difference is the hood. The Summit has one; the Westpac does not. That omission makes the Westpac cleaner at the collar and more embroidery-friendly for unit or agency emblems, while the Summit trades that profile for added weather coverage.

What size should I order?

The Westpac runs in a regular fit. One reviewer at 210 lbs sized into a Large and found it a correct fit. If you are between sizes or ordering for a uniform program with specific layering requirements, contact us and we can help with sizing guidance before you order.

Will this jacket layer under a plate carrier or duty vest?

It is designed to layer under gear — one reviewer specifically noted it as a warm layer that fits under equipment. The slim 4-way elastic outer shell and regular fit reduce bunching under a carrier. For agency or tactical uniform applications where fit over specific gear matters, contact us for a fit check before ordering in bulk.

What does PFAS-free DWR mean and why does it matter?

DWR (durable water repellent) is the treatment that causes water to bead off the outer fabric rather than soak in. Legacy DWR formulations used PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which have raised environmental and health concerns. The Westpac uses a PFAS-free DWR formula that delivers water resistance without those compounds.
