The Tradie’s Guide to Winter Workwear

Winter workwear Ripstop jacket

Stay Warm, Dry, and Ready for Anything

When the temperature drops and the mornings start biting, the job doesn’t stop, and neither should you. But if you don't have the right gear, it’s not just comfort you’ll sacrifice. It’s performance, too.

At Jetpilot, we know tradies work hard all year round. Which is why we’ve engineered our workwear range to handle the cold, the wind, and the unexpected downpours without slowing you down. Here’s your guide for gearing up this winter with Jetpilot workwear.

1. Layer Smart

Winter workwear isn’t about piling on heavy layers, it’s about strategic layering. Layers that trap heat, wicks moisture, and blocks out wind.

  • Base Layer: Choose thermals that wick sweat off your skin to keep you dry and warm. Wet skin equals cold skin. If you're in the rest Australia where winter is a breeze, skip this step!
  • Mid Layer: This is your insulator. Think flannel jackets or fleece-lined hoodies that trap heat without bulk.
  • Outer Layer: Your shield. Look for jackets that are windproof, water-resistant, and made to move with you.

Jetpilot Pick: Our Onsite Jacket is the ultimate winter essential. Water-resistant, windproof, and designed for the worksite with reinforced panels and freedom of movement built in.

2. Work Pants that Don’t Quit

Summer shorts won’t cut it when the wind’s whipping through steel frames or you're working on a cold slab. Jetpilot designs its range of Jet-Lite and Jet-Lite Hybrid pants to keep you warm and moving freely, without overheating.

  • Cuffed styles keep the cold out and lock heat in.
  • Thermo regulating fabric keeping you warm in the cold by wicking moisture, and cool in sun when the day starts warming up.
  • Triple-stitched seams and bar-tacks mean they’re made to last—even in harsh conditions.

Bonus: Our taped pant versions give you added visibility on night shift, or overcast days.

3. Keep Your Core Warm with a Hoodie or Flannel

Don’t underestimate a good hoodie or flannie. Layered right, they’re essential to staying warm without bulking up.

  • Jetpilot’s flannel jackets have a polyester taffeta quilted lining for warmth and large pockets to store your gear
  • Hoodies with heavy-duty zips, drawcords, and thumbholes make them practical, not just comfortable.

4. Don’t Forget Socks!

Cold toes ruin your day fast. Bamboo socks aren’t just a summer thing, they’re a game changer in winter too.

  • Naturally thermo-regulating
  • Moisture-wicking
  • Odour-resistant

Jetpilot Bamboo Socks are thicker than your standard pair and perfect for all-day comfort in steel-toes or boots.

5. Stay Seen, Stay Safe

Winter means shorter days, darker mornings, and foggy conditions. Visibility becomes just as important as warmth.

Jetpilot’s reflective trims, hi-vis taping, and safety styles make sure you’re seen when it counts. Especially for early starts or late finishes.

Cold mornings and wet afternoons don’t mean you have to suffer through the season. With Jetpilot’s winter-ready workwear, you can stay warm, dry, visible, and moving freely from the first frost to the last cold snap.

Built for all seasons.
