Shell Work Jackets

Shell jackets offer a high degree of water repellency and are windproof. Ideal for changing weather conditions. In addition to these properties, shell jackets are also highly breathable. Shell jackets, unlike softshell jackets, do not have a lining, which means you can easily combine them with a second layer, such as fleece . Wearing multiple layers provides extra comfort and warmth. Some shell jackets have a matching zip-in lining or fleece.

Shell jacket technology

Shell jackets are more advanced than they seem at first glance. Technologies such as Gore-Tex, eVent and Dermizax are ideal in a variety of conditions. There are various basic materials that make a shell jacket water-resistant. For example, a two- or three-layer membrane can be used, often in combination with a coating.

A shell jacket with a two-layer membrane has the advantage of being somewhat more flexible, but this makes it less suitable for carrying a backpack.

A jacket with a 3-layer membrane is stiffer and therefore stronger and more resistant to wear.

When washing work jackets with a coating, care must be taken to ensure that they are washed according to the instructions. The coating must also often be re-coated by washing them with a Durable Water Resistant detergent.

You can recognize these jackets by the logo with a safety vest and they are also included in the hi-vis category, so that you can easily compare hi-vis jackets . Reflective jackets ensure that you are always clearly visible in order to prevent dangerous situations. In addition to these reflective jackets, Unishore Bedrijfskleding naturally also has less conspicuous Shell jackets in its range.

Advantages of a shell jacket compared to a softshell work jacket

Many people think that a shell jacket and a softshell jacket are the same, but a shell jacket is really water-repellent and often waterproof for a long time. A softshell jacket on the other hand is water-repellent but not suitable for long-term bad weather. Shell jackets are more flexible, waterproof and often offer the possibility to zip in a lining for extra warmth. This makes a shell jacket a real all-round work jacket
