In the coldest time of the year, choosing the right work
clothes, if you do not know the usefulness of the different garments, can
become quite a challenge. What if pants, what if thermal T-shirts, what if
winter jackets ...
And, although it seems simple at first glance, once you get
into trouble it becomes crazy. You realize that with jackets alone you have 6
different types to choose from. And, worse, they all seem the same to you.
Types of winter jackets
There is only one thing in common between them, they are
called jackets. However, their different characteristics make each type more
suitable in some situations than others. For example, softshell jackets are
more suitable than parkas in moderately cold environments.
Therefore, below Anvisha is going to explain the differences that
exist between the most important types of winter jackets.
Work jackets
Winter jackets are one of the most versatile garments and,
therefore, most sought after when thinking about work uniforms.
Most models are equipped with practical and ingenious
features that make them even more functional than expected. For example, made
with breathable fabrics or reinforcements in areas of greatest wear.
The fabrics with which these types of items are made are
very varied. Over the years they have evolved from the classic polyester and
cotton jackets to the most unexpected combinations. Today, fabrics range from
cotton or polyester to even nylon or polyurethane.
These types of jackets are suitable for a multitude of
professional sectors, from agriculture to industry and even food.
Softshell winter jackets
Softshell jackets are one of the most chosen winter jackets
among our customers. Their broad composition gives them wide versatility in
many jobs, especially outdoors where the environments are not too cold.
They are usually the perfect option if what you are looking
for is comfort, since the sum of its two main variables, lightness and
flexibility, make it a very comfortable garment.
Parkas and coats
Parkas, for their part, are one of the most classic
garments. They are the element of protection against the cold 'of all life'.
This is because it is comfortable and functional for working in extremely cold
environments.
The reason that parkas have become the quintessential winter
garment is that their resistant, durable and waterproof fabric makes them a
highly functional garment. In addition, being comfortable and allowing us to do
our work lightly, helps us keep warm on those cold and rainy days.
It is usually one of the garments that is not missing from
the wardrobe of any outdoor worker, farmer rancher or even construction worker.
We could summarize parkas as that all-terrain coat capable
of accompanying us every day during our long work days.
Work vests
In recent years, work vests have become one of the most
sought-after options among workers in any professional sector.
The main reason is that it helps keep the worker's body at
the ideal temperature. And, in addition, since it does not have sleeves, it
offers greater freedom of movement whatever the work is being done.
So much so that it is one of the garments that make up our
uniform. In this case, the vest is the perfect garment since both the warehouse
and workshop team and the store and office team can use it to maintain thermal
comfort throughout the winter.
Waterproof winter jackets
Work raincoats, for their part, are usually made of
polyester. In addition, most have a padded interior lining that helps prevent
moisture and maintain the ideal temperature. Although, indeed, there
are also different unlined options.
They are the garment par excellence in jobs such as those
carried out outdoors. And, even with the passing of the years combined with
innovation in work clothing, different garments are somewhere
between a parka and a regular raincoat.
High visibility jackets
And last but not least, high visibility winter jackets.
Within this group, we find the same models that we have talked about above with
the only difference being the colors. In this case, since the regulations
indicate so, they must have specific quantities of fluorescent background
material and retro-reflective material.
