Product Overview
The WX2 Eco Pilot Jacket is a sophisticated and highly versatile garment designed for professionals who require adaptability throughout the changing seasons. This contemporary take on the classic pilot jacket style integrates modern textile technology with a multi-functional design, allowing it to transition seamlessly from a heavy-duty winter jacket to a lightweight bodywarmer. Its black finish offers a clean, professional appearance suitable for a variety of corporate and industrial environments.
Key Features
- Zip-Out Sleeves: This feature allows the jacket to be converted into a gilet, providing greater freedom of movement and temperature regulation during physical activity.
- Removable Fur Liner and Collar: The internal fur lining and collar can be detached, making the jacket suitable for milder conditions while ensuring maximum warmth when the temperature drops.
- Texpel Splash Eco Finish: An advanced water-resistant treatment that is PFAS-free, ensuring you stay dry during light showers while supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing practices.
- Multiple Secure Pockets: Strategically placed pockets provide ample storage for essential tools and personal items, keeping them safe and accessible throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
Crafted with a focus on durability and sustainability, the WX2 Eco Pilot Jacket is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The outer fabric is treated with the Texpel Splash Eco finish, which repels water and dirt, helping to keep the garment cleaner for longer. The substantial fabric weight provides a sturdy feel without being overly restrictive, offering a balance between protection and comfort.
The interior configuration is what sets this jacket apart. By utilising a removable lining system, the garment provides exceptional thermal insulation when required, but can be stripped down to a lighter shell as the workday warms up. The contemporary fit ensures a professional silhouette that does not compromise on the practical needs of a busy tradesperson.
Why No Customisation?
We provide this specific jacket as a non-customised item to protect its technical integrity. The combination of the removable fur lining and the specialised water-resistant Texpel finish makes traditional embroidery or heat-seal applications complex. Standard customisation processes could potentially compromise the water-repellent barrier or interfere with the jacket’s modular zip systems, so we offer it as-is to ensure you receive the full benefit of its engineered performance.
Use Cases
This jacket is an ideal choice for site managers, delivery drivers, and maintenance engineers who frequently move between indoor and outdoor environments. Its ability to transform from a full-protection jacket to a vest makes it perfect for those working in the unpredictable British climate, where morning frosts often give way to milder afternoons.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the jacket. Because of the removable fur liner, the jacket may feel slightly snugger when fully assembled than when used as a shell. If you are frequently between sizes, we generally recommend opting for the larger size to ensure full range of motion in the shoulders and arms.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high performance of the Texpel Splash Eco finish, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. Excessive heat or harsh chemicals can degrade the water-resistant coating over time, reducing the jacket's effectiveness in wet weather.
We recommend a gentle machine wash at moderate temperatures. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and impair the water-repellent properties. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment naturally; high heat from a tumble dryer may damage the synthetic components of the removable fur lining and the outer shell's protective finish.
