Coats & Jackets
It is essential to kit out outdoors workers with waterproof coats and jackets. Whether that is a heavy duty parka, a three in one jacket that provides a bit of versatility, a bomber jacket for the upper body alone or a softshell jacket that is great for light showers and is simple to fold down and carry with you. These items make it so much easier to work in the rain and wind and anything else that the British weather can throw at them, allowing your staff to stay dry and feel comfortable throughout their shifts.
Big heavy duty waterproof coats and jackets like parkas are perfect for countering a host of different adverse weather conditions. They keep out the cold, they protect you from the wind, and, of course, the fabric is designed to repel the rain as it strikes you. It beads the moisture away, keeping you dry and comfortable. If you work outside in the midst of winter, these jackets are ideal thanks to their warming lining. Three in one jackets also offer supreme warming qualities if you need them. They usually offer a fleece inner layer, a waterproof outer layer and you can wear just the top layer, the second layer, or both together, depending on which combination best suits your preferences and the weather outside.
Softshell jackets prevent you feeling the ill effects of light showers, but are lightweight and easily portable, which is a real advantage if you do not want to be weighed down on site when the rain stops and you no longer need a jacket.
Some common features of waterproof coats and jackets are taped seams, storm flaps, and moisture wicking inners that move perspiration away from the body to keep you comfortable as you wear them during the working day.
