Choosing the Right Branded Jacket for Your Team
A jacket is the one garment in this range built to be worn outdoors on its own, rather than as a layer underneath something else. That makes the choice less about branding and more about what the wearer actually needs protection from: wind, rain, cold, or some combination of all three, since no single jacket style does all of it equally well.
Softshell, Insulated or Lightweight Rain Shell?
These three construction types solve different problems. Softshell fabric is wind and water resistant with some stretch, making it good for active outdoor work where mobility matters more than heavy insulation. Insulated and padded jackets prioritise warmth for staff who are static outdoors, such as standing at an event or a site entrance in cold weather. A lightweight rain shell offers waterproofing with almost no bulk, designed to be packed away or layered over a jumper rather than worn as a standalone winter coat.
| Style | Protects Against | Best For | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Softshell | Wind and light rain, with stretch for movement | Active outdoor work, site teams needing mobility | Antartida men’s softshell jacket |
| Insulated / Padded | Cold, with less emphasis on wind or rain | Static outdoor roles in cold weather, winter events | America men’s padded parka jacket |
| Lightweight Rain Shell | Rain, with minimal warmth or bulk | Packable protection, layering over other garments | Escocia unisex lightweight rain jacket |
Recycled and Certified Jacket Options
The Coltan men’s GRS recycled softshell jacket uses Global Recycled Standard certified fabric, giving a verifiable sustainability claim for organisations that need to back up an environmental commitment with more than general “eco-friendly” wording.
Where a Jacket Sits in Your Clothing Layering
A jacket is usually the outer layer, not the only layer. For genuinely cold conditions, pair a jacket with one of our fleeces or sweaters worn underneath. For core warmth that doesn’t restrict arm movement, a bodywarmer can work alongside a lighter jacket rather than replacing it.
A Buying Pattern Worth Planning For
Jackets are one of the few garments here bought for genuine safety and welfare reasons as much as branding, particularly for site-based and outdoor teams. That means procurement decisions are often driven by working conditions and risk assessments rather than budget alone, so it’s worth confirming the actual outdoor exposure staff face before choosing between softshell, insulated and rain shell options, rather than defaulting to the cheapest jacket that fits the logo.

Branded Jacket FAQs
What’s the difference between a softshell and an insulated jacket?
A softshell prioritises wind and water resistance with stretch for movement, suited to active outdoor work. An insulated or padded jacket prioritises warmth over weatherproofing, better suited to staff who are static outdoors in cold conditions.
Are lightweight rain jackets warm enough for winter?
Not on their own. A lightweight rain shell is designed for waterproofing with minimal bulk, and works best layered over a fleece or sweater rather than worn alone in genuinely cold conditions.
Do you offer recycled or sustainable branded jackets?
Yes. Several softshell styles use GRS-certified recycled fabric, giving a verifiable sustainability claim rather than a general eco-friendly label.
Can jackets be embroidered as well as printed?
Yes, both methods are available depending on the fabric. Embroidery is common on softshell and insulated styles, while print is more often used on lightweight rain jackets.
How long does a branded jacket order take?
Most orders are ready within 10 to 14 working days of artwork approval, though this can vary by style, fabric availability and quantity.
