When working outdoors, on construction sites, in warehouses, on maintenance jobs or travelling between jobs — weather and temperature changes demand reliable outerwear. At Norsemen Safety, our selection of jackets, fleece and soft shell garments is designed to offer warmth, comfort, flexibility, and protection in variable conditions. Whether you’re looking for a cosy fleece as a mid‑layer or a weather-resistant soft shell for outdoor work, we’ve got you covered.
Good work jackets that combine insulation, mobility, and weather resistance can make a big difference — not only to comfort, but to productivity, safety, and worker satisfaction. Fleece and soft shell jackets each bring unique advantages:
Fleece jackets provide excellent warmth, are lightweight, breathable, and soft — ideal for cold but dry conditions, or as a mid‑layer beneath a harder shell.
Soft shell jackets offer a balance of wind resistance, water repellence (for light rain), breathability and stretch — making them well‑suited for active outdoor work, movement, light showers, or conditions where flexibility matters.
Together — or even layered — fleece and soft shell jackets give you versatility: warmth when you need it, weather protection when you face wind or light rain, and freedom of movement while working.
At Norsemen Safety we stock a wide range of jackets to meet different working conditions and user needs. Our collection includes:
Classic fleece jackets — comfortable, soft, insulating and ideal as mid‑layers or standalone jackets in dry, cold conditions.
Soft shell jackets & work jackets — offering flexible fabric, wind resistance, light rain resistance, breathability and durability — perfect for active outdoor work, site visits, and changing weather.
Workwear‑style jackets and gilets — engineered for work environments, often with practical features like multiple pockets, adjustable cuffs, durable fabrics, and a professional finish suitable for industrial and trade work.
Layerable options — many of our jackets are designed to be layered with base layers or additional PPE/workwear, giving you adaptability across seasons or changing conditions.
Durable construction for industrial use — built to withstand regular wear, abrasion, movement, and the demands of tough work sites without compromising performance or comfort.
Warmth & Comfort: Our fleece jackets trap air to retain body heat even in cold conditions; soft shell jackets are breathable yet protective — offering a comfortable balance between insulation and flexibility.
Weather‑Adaptable Functionality: Soft shell jackets resist wind and light rain, making them ideal for UK outdoor weather or unpredictable work‑site conditions, while fleece remains a dependable mid‑layer when waterproofing isn’t required.
Mobility & Flexibility: Soft shells, with their stretchy materials and practical cuts, support full range of movement — useful for climbing, bending, lifting, or general site work.
Durability for Work Environments: Our workwear jackets are built from strong, resilient materials designed to withstand repeated wear, abrasion, and frequent washing — essential for industrial, construction or trade work.
Versatility & Layering: Whether you need a standalone jacket for mild weather, a mid‑layer fleece under a weatherproof shell, or a practical work jacket for site use — our range gives you flexibility to choose.
