BUYER'S GUIDE
What actually matters when choosing outerwear?
Warmth & Insulation
A lightweight shell and an insulated winter jacket serve completely different purposes. Think about the lowest temperatures the garment will realistically be used in.
Weather Resistance
Wind resistance, water resistance and waterproof construction are different things. The right level depends on the environment.
Breathability
For active teams and employees moving throughout the day, breathable outerwear may be more comfortable than maximum insulation.
Layering & Fit
Consider whether the jacket will be worn over a T-shirt, polo, hoodie or other workwear when choosing fit and sizing.
Durability
Abrasion resistance, zipper quality, fabric strength and washability become especially important for uniforms and jobsite apparel.
Decoration Compatibility
Coatings, insulation, seams, waterproof membranes and technical fabrics can limit where and how a jacket can safely be decorated.
04
DECORATION
The right finish depends on the jacket.
Outerwear construction matters. Coatings, insulation, waterproof membranes and fabric type can all affect which decoration methods are appropriate.
