Winter Jackets

Winter work jackets

The winter work jacket is the garment that makes the difference in the cold months: it must insulate, protect from wind and rain and leave you free to move. In this category you will find padded waterproof jackets, lightweight quilted jackets, hybrids, cold store jackets, heated and hi-vis models.

Padded, quilted or hybrid

Padded waterproof jackets are designed for people working outdoors all day. Quilted jackets, including down-effect styles, are lighter and can be worn alone on dry days or under a rain shell. Hybrids combine padding on the torso with stretchier fabric on the sides or sleeves for better movement. Heated jackets have heating elements: power supply and use are described on the product page.

Standards in this category

• EN 342: severe cold, below -5 °C; including the ColdStore cold store jacket.
• EN 343 Class 3 or 4: waterproofing, where 4 is the highest level.
• EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and Class 3: hi-vis for work near traffic; Class 3 requires the largest area of fluorescent and retroreflective material.
