Work jackets built for the cold half of the day
The first hour on site is the cold one, and the jacket you put on at six is still on you at smoko. These are built for that hour by a brand that spends its weekends in salt water and on boat ramps, so the fabrics, linings and zips were chosen to be abused, not admired. Every jacket lists its outer and its lining, because that is the only spec that matters at six in the morning.
Quilted flannel jackets
The Quilted Flannel Jacket pairs a 300 GSM cotton flannel outer with a 210T polyester taffeta quilted lining and 100% polyester fill, closed with an internal zip and buttons on the outer, under a large hood with a peak and toggle system to pull it in when the wind gets up. The Layered Quilted Flannel Jacket is the same dual-layer build simplified into a work-ready cut without the hood: the tradie jacket you wear all shift and then to the pub, and it looks right in both.
Padded shells and the vest
The Onsite Jacket is 100% polyester outer and lining with a padded body, an internal body and hood lining, a metal front zip and a hood with an adjustable drawstring. The Onsite Pro Jacket moves the outer to polyester cotton twill for a tougher shell that takes a scrape better. The Zip Up Vest pairs a water and stain-resistant outer shell with a polar fleece body lining and polyester padding for the days a sleeve gets in the way of the work.
Canvas and ripstop
The Canvas Jacket is 270 GSM water and stain-resistant canvas over a 200 GSM cotton flannel body lining with poly padding, a button front, dual front patch pockets with button flaps and a left sleeve pocket for the pencil. The Fusion Ripstop Jacket is nylon ripstop, tear and abrasion resistant at 153 GSM, with a water-resistant, breathable PU coating rated 3,000/3,000, a 100% polyester anti-pill fleece lining and polyfil insulation, for the wet work nobody volunteers for.
Which one
Dry cold and standing around: quilted flannel. Rough work and a bit of everything: Onsite Pro or the Canvas Jacket. Rain, wind and a long day outside: the Fusion Ripstop. Moving all shift and only cold in the core: the Zip Up Vest. Get the one that matches the site you are actually on, not the one in the catalogue.
Sizing and the dealer near you
S to 3XL across the range, cut to go over a work shirt or a hoodie, so size as you would a normal jacket. Jetpilot workwear is sold through the dealer network, not online, so find yours on the workwear stockists page and try it on over the shirt you actually work in. The rest of the kit is on workwear: work pants, work shorts and work hoodies for the layer underneath.
