Product Overview
The Orkney 3-in-1 Jacket is an essential equipment choice for professionals who require versatility and reliable protection against the elements. Designed to navigate the unpredictable British weather, this jacket offers three distinct configurations: a complete weatherproof system, a standalone waterproof shell, or a substantial fleece for dry yet cool conditions. The outer shell is crafted from high-performance nylon, engineered to provide a breathable barrier against driving rain and wind without compromising on comfort.
Key Features
- 3-in-1 Versatility: The interactive design allows the fleece to be removed, providing you with three different ways to wear the garment depending on the temperature and rainfall.
- Certified Weatherproofing: Meeting EN 343 standards for waterproofing and breathability, this jacket ensures you remain dry and comfortable during prolonged outdoor exposure.
- Anti-Pill Fleece: The zip-out inner jacket is constructed from high-quality fleece with an anti-pill finish, ensuring the fabric remains smooth and professional-looking after repeated wear.
- PU Coated Fabric: The application of a PU coating to the nylon shell creates a robust barrier that repels water while maintaining a professional appearance in demanding environments.
Design & Performance
The garment is engineered using a combination of Nylon Ottoman and Nylon Dobby fabrics. The Ottoman weave provides a sturdy, textured finish that stands up to the rigours of daily work, while the Dobby fabric enhances breathability, ensuring that moisture can escape during physical exertion. This balanced construction means the jacket is a well-engineered garment that doesn't feel overly heavy yet provides significant protection.
Inside, the jacket features a clever mix of polyester mesh in the upper body for ventilation and smooth taffeta in the sleeves and lower body to allow for easy movement and layering over other workwear. The detachable fleece is a medium-weight layer that provides excellent thermal insulation, making it a practical choice for transitioning between seasons.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Orkney Jacket is a superior canvas for your company branding. The outer shell is highly compatible with our high-precision printing techniques, which are ideal for large, bold logos that need to be visible from a distance. For those seeking a more traditional and refined professional appearance, embroidery is recommended, particularly for chest logos and staff names.
The zip-out fleece also accommodates customisation, allowing your team to maintain a consistent brand identity even when the outer shell is removed. Our specialist team in Telford has been refining these processes since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical expertise and attention to detail.
Use Cases
This jacket is particularly suited for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor workers in the construction and logistics industries. Its adaptability makes it ideal for individuals who move frequently between indoor environments and exposed outdoor locations, providing a professional look in any setting.

Practical Advice
Given the 3-in-1 design, this jacket is built for layering. When wearing both the shell and fleece together, the fit is substantial and protective. If you intend to wear the fleece alone over heavy knitwear, ensure you have considered the generous 4XL sizing to maintain a full range of movement during manual tasks.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the waterproof PU coating and the integrity of the fabric, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a mild process. High-temperature washes can damage the specialised coating and compromise the jacket's ability to repel water.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the nylon fibres and cause significant discolouration to the grey fabric. This will negatively impact the professional appearance of your branded workwear.
We advise against tumble drying; instead, the jacket should be drip-dried in the shade. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can cause the waterproof membranes to delaminate, rendering the jacket less effective in the rain. Similarly, do not iron or dry clean the garment, as the heat and chemicals involved in these processes are detrimental to the synthetic materials and the PU coating.
