All Jackets
Wearing a high-quality work jacket makes all the difference when it comes to staying warm, dry, and comfortable when working outdoors. At AlexDirect, we stock a wide range of work jackets designed to perform in all conditions, from the biting cold to driving rain. With our wide variety of options, you’ll always find the right jacket for every shift and every season.
Softshell Work Jackets
If you need to keep the wind at bay but are less concerned about rain, then our softshell work jackets make a great choice. More water resistant than waterproof, they offer light shower protection but their main selling point is keeping the wind out and you warm without restricting your movement.
Choose a jacket large enough to be layered with a fleece or body warmer underneath for particularly cold days, or one with a removable insulated liner, and enjoy full freedom of movement throughout your workday.
Work Waterproof Jackets
Working outdoors at the whim of the elements is always tough, but on rainy days it can be almost unbearable. Without a waterproof jacket, you might find yourself struggling to keep working.
Our workwear jackets will keep you dry and comfortable. Featuring taped seams, waterproof fabrics and adjustable hoods, cuffs and waists, they take every measure possible to keep you dry.
Warm Work Jackets
Sharp, winter days call for warm work jackets that lock in heat without limiting movement.
This might mean layering up with a fleece jacket under your heavyweight jacket, but for many people a body warmer is a more comfortable option. Leaving you with full freedom of movement, something like the DeWalt Force Lightweight Black Gilet delivers everyday insulation in a durable, lightweight design.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our jacket collection covers everything from lightweight layers to heavy-duty outerwear, ranging from softshell and fleece work jackets to waterproofs, and insulated options for cold winter days.
Definitely. Softshell work jackets are a favourite among mobile trades because they’re lightweight, breathable, and flexible and great for layering without restricting movement. They also offer wind and light rain resistance, ideal for active jobs in changeable weather.
Yes, we stock a wide range of work waterproof jackets designed to keep you dry and comfortable. They’re fully sealed, breathable, and built to handle tough outdoor environments—perfect for construction, landscaping, and any job that doesn’t stop for the rain.
No one wants to be shivering while they work, so our warm work jackets are designed to keep you warm even on the coldest days. Choose between insulated, fleece-lined or simply padded jackets that can help keep your body heat in and the cold air out. Alternatively, layer up with a body warmer, or a fleece under a soft shell jacket to protect you from the wind too. This option is even more appealing if you need to move a lot, being less restrictive on your arms and shoulders.
A jacket you can wear all year round needs to tick a lot of boxes. Warm enough for cold winter days, cool enough for spring days when the sun is hot but the wind still bites. They need to be waterproof but breathable, and robust enough to last many seasons. Brands like DeWalt, Scruffs and Helly Hansen all offer great year-round jackets. Look out for removable linings, breathable membranes, water resistant outers and adjustable cuffs to find one which suits you. In particular, the Regatta Kingsley 3-in-1 Jacket is a great all-season option, combining a waterproof outer with a detachable inner fleece so you can be as cool or as warm as you need.
