Jacket

We are constantly being asked the difference between jackets in our range and which one is suitable for certain uses and certain climates.  The only complaints that we receive are from customers who have chosen a jacket that is not up to providing the level of protection for the sort of climate they are using it in. Hopefully the chart below provides some guidance but please do not hesitate to contact us if still in any doubt.
