Snickers Jackets

Snickers Jackets

Workwear outerwear is chosen by what the weather and the job demand, and the categories are not interchangeable. A shell jacket is the outer waterproof and windproof layer with little or no insulation, designed to go over whatever you are already wearing, which makes it the flexible choice across seasons. A winter jacket combines that weather protection with built-in insulation for genuinely cold conditions, and is the one to reach for on an exposed site in January. A softshell sits between the two: stretchy, breathable and water resistant rather than waterproof, it suits active work where you generate heat and a stiff waterproof would leave you damp from the inside. An insulator jacket is a mid-layer worn under a shell rather than alone, and 37.5 refers to the fabric technology that moves moisture away as body temperature rises. Layering these deliberately beats buying one heavy coat. Beyond jackets, hoodies and sweatshirts cover milder days and indoor work, and a tool vest carries fixings and hand tools on the body rather than in a belt. Sizing runs to European workwear conventions and should allow for a layer underneath, so size up if the jacket will go over a hoodie or insulator.

Snickers supplies the whole range. Winter jackets cover the 1158 AllroundWork in black and the 1148 in steel grey, navy and grey with black.
