Insulated Jackets

A good insulated jacket is windproof, water-resistant, warm and especially comfortable to wear. It will retain the warmth of your body and at the same time keep the cold on the outside of your jacket, allowing you to travel through cold weather with a maximum of comfort. But comfort and warmth are not the only benefits our sturdy insulated jackets have to offer. They also look incredibly stylish and will last for a long time, because they are made out of high-quality fabrics.

Perfect Jackets for Cold Circumstances

It should not be surprising that our insulated jackets can mainly be found among our winter jackets . After all, due to the insulation they offer against the cold, these jackets are the perfect jackets to wear in cold circumstances. Wearing a jacket that will protect you against the cold as well as our insulated jackets do will make unavoidable trips outside a lot less daunting during the winter months. Especially if the jacket you wear offers you a great deal of comfort.

Ordering your insulated jacket at Airforce's online store offers various benefits. First of all, you can choose from a wide range of jackets in various designs. A long coat will cover a larger part of your body and therefore be the perfect choice if you want to stay as warm as possible. However, a long coat might also hinder your mobility. So if you want to wear your insulated jacket while running or cycling, we offer various shorter jackets that will keep you warm and still offer a proper range of motion.

All of our insulated jackets will retain their fashionable appearances for a long time. This is partly due to the fact that we tend to use simple designs with neutral colours that will never go out of fashion and match nearly every other garment you may already own. Our high-quality fabrics will also ensure that your jacket will not only be able to withstand rough circumstances, but also look great as long as you wear it.

What Types of Insulated Jackets Are There?

We already discussed the benefits of the various lengths of insulated jackets. However, the choice between short jackets and long jackets is far from the only choice you have when you want to find the perfect insulated jacket at our online store. Classic types of insulated jackets are bomber jackets, puffer jackets and parkas, all of which have been used for their excellent protection against the cold at various points in history.

Bomber jackets were even designed specifically for the army. Fighter pilots needed jackets that would keep them warm while flying at high altitudes, but also allowed them to manoeuvre their aircraft. The short jacket that we now know as the bomber jacket was the perfect solution. Parkas were originally made by indigenous people in Alaska and Siberia to protect themselves against their freezing winters. Later, the American army discovered the excellent properties of these jackets and started wearing them as well.

Puffer jackets have no military origins, but that does not make them any less reliable when it comes to providing necessary warmth. In fact, puffer jackets were originally designed for mountaineers and other people who travelled to extremely cold parts of the world. Interestingly, despite initially being designed primarily for practical reasons, bomber jackets, parkas and puffer jackets have all become popular fashion items since, and they have been for many decades.

What Gives Airforce Jackets Their Insulating Properties?

In order for a jacket to protect you against the harsh conditions of the winter months, it has to be made out of multiple layers of fabric. The outer shell of an insulated jacket is made out of a fabric that is windproof and either water-repellent or waterproof. All of Airforce's jackets, including our summer jackets , are windproof and water-repellent. This means you will not get completely soaked when it starts raining while you are outside, which is especially undesirable during winter months. Most of our jackets sport outer shells made out of polyester, but we also offer jackets with a nylon outer shell.

Many insulated jackets have a lining between the outer shell and the layer of fabric you wear on the inside. A proper insulated lining retains warm air and will keep cold air away from your body. Traditionally, these linings were made out of down, most commonly out of duck and goose feathers. That is why padded jackets are still commonly known as down jackets . These days, however, it is possible to make an equally warm, lightweight lining for maximal comfort using synthetic fibres, such as the DuPont™ Sorona® lining many of our padded jackets are equipped with.

The best insulated jackets also have elastic cuffs and an elastic waistband. These make the jackets slightly tighter around your waist and wrists, which makes it more difficult for cold air to pass under the waistband or the ends of your sleeves. For complete protection against the cold, a hooded jacket is recommended. We offer a wide range of hoodies as well, but the hoods of those jumpers are made out of cotton, which absorbs water rather than repelling it.
