Jackets for Every Climate
The USA is a land of contrasting climate conditions. When it’s 40 below in North Dakota, it can be short-sleeved weather in the south of Florida. When the East coast is being pelted by heavy rain it’s often dry and sunny out West. This diversity means Americans need very different jackets depending on their location, which you need to take into account when gifting promotional outerwear or putting together work uniforms.
To simplify your choices somewhat, we’ve put together a short climate jacket guide. Whether you need to protect your workforce from bitter cold and rain or need outerwear for cool, dry environments, we’ve assembled the best custom jackets from brands like Carhartt, Columbia, Tri Mountain, North Face, and Dunbrooke.
Jackets for Wet Climates
Few things make outdoor work as miserable as wet conditions. Rain and sleet can sap your employees’ energy quickly, lowering productivity while increasing the risk of accidents. Custom work jackets for wet environments should be waterproof and wind-resistant. In cold conditions wet weather jackets must be able to trap heat inside, while in hot, wet environments jackets should wick away moisture and provide breathability.
There are plenty of lightweight jackets in the Triple Crown Catalog that match this description. Some of the best include:
Work Jackets for Cool, Dry Conditions
Cool, dry conditions call for work jackets that maintain a comfortable temperature without encouraging sweating, preferable with moisture-wicking properties to help keep the wearer dry. Dunbrooke jackets, lightweight Dickies jackets, custom Columbia jackets, and embroidered Carhartt jackets all work well as outerwear for this kind of environment. Remember to consider wind when choosing a work jacket for cool, dry conditions — a strong wind can make a cool day feel much colder and quickly strip warmth away from your employees even when the thermometer hasn’t dropped into icy temperatures.
These custom work jackets were chosen for two reasons: their ability to keep the wearer warm and comfortable and how good they look when embroidered with brand logos.
Embroidered Jackets for Working in Cold Conditions
Winter work jackets and coats have to be able to handle a range of frigid environments. Depending on the weather, they may be exposed to wet or windy conditions as well. They have to be insulated against the cold, yet breathable. While insulating materials may be bulky, winter jackets for work also need to allow a full range of motion. Carhartt, The North Face, and Tri-Mountain jackets all excel in these conditions. Examples include:
Custom Work Jackets for Urban Environments
Large cities act as microclimates, with slightly different conditions from the surrounding countryside. Skyscrapers can provide some shelter from the elements but funnel winds, while the heat from traffic and crowds can mitigate cold temperatures somewhat.
Most importantly, city life often requires people to don and doff jackets quickly as they go in and out of buildings. Layering is important, often resulting in employees needing lighter jackets to stay comfortable. The following custom work jackets are well-suited for cold or wet urban environments:
