Trusted Waterproof Work Jackets for Work & Life
Waterproof work jackets help keep you comfortable when working outdoors in wet and cold conditions. Choose from practical hard shells, flexible softshells and insulated styles for added warmth.
Hard Shell vs Softshell Work Jackets
Choosing between a hard shell and softshell work jacket depends on the weather and how you'll be using it. Hard shell jackets are designed to provide protection from rain, with waterproof fabrics and features such as sealed seams on selected styles. They're a practical choice when working outdoors in wet conditions.
Softshell jackets generally offer greater flexibility and comfort, making them popular for everyday work and outdoor activities. Many provide wind resistance and protection against light showers, although not all are fully waterproof. Check the individual product specifications to find the level of weather protection you need.
Insulated Work Jackets or Layering for Warmth
Staying warm at work doesn't always mean wearing a heavy jacket. Insulated work jackets have built-in lining or padding to help retain body heat, making them a practical option for cold mornings and winter conditions. Alternatively, an uninsulated waterproof jacket can be worn over a jumper or fleece, allowing you to adjust your clothing as temperatures change.
Brands such as FXD offer different outerwear options, including insulated and waterproof styles. When choosing your jacket, consider how active you'll be, the weather conditions and how much room you'll need for additional layers underneath.
Hi-Vis Waterproof Work Jackets for Wet Weather
If you work in an environment that requires high visibility clothing, choosing the right wet weather jacket is particularly important. Hi-vis work jackets are available in fluorescent colours, with selected styles featuring reflective tape to improve visibility in appropriate lighting conditions.
Our range also includes plain-coloured waterproof and water-resistant jackets for jobs where hi-vis clothing isn't required. Features such as adjustable cuffs, hoods, zip closures and pockets vary between styles.
Always check the individual product details for waterproof ratings, reflective features and compliance with any relevant workplace safety requirements before purchasing.

Sizing a jacket is its own exercise, since anything that fits neatly over a shirt alone will pull across the shoulders the moment a jumper goes underneath it. The size guide on each product page gives the maker's own measurements, which is the thing to read when you are buying a jacket to go over other layers rather than next to the skin.
A jacket is the last layer on and the first one off, so what sits under it matters as much as the shell itself. Work coats and jackets cover the dry-weather outer layer, and work vests handle the mornings that only need the middle covered.
