When the weather turns or the job gets tough, a reliable outer layer is essential. At AlexDirect, our range of outer jackets for work is built to withstand wind, rain, and cold — keeping you protected without compromising on movement or comfort. Whether you’re working outdoors, on-site, or in exposed areas, our jackets are designed to perform across all trades and seasons.

Outer Jackets:

Our outer jackets combine durable materials with functional design features to help you stay focused and comfortable on the job. From padded insulation to weather-resistant shells, these jackets are made for tough conditions. The Dickies Generation Hybrid Jacket is a great example — combining softshell flexibility with quilted warmth for all-day wear, both indoors and out.

Outer Shell Jackets:

When maximum weather resistance is your priority, outer shell jackets deliver lightweight, waterproof protection. Ideal for layering or wearing alone in milder weather, shell jackets keep out wind and rain while offering freedom of movement. The Dickies Generation Overhead Waterproof Jacket is a standout, offering pullover convenience and reliable rain protection on-site.

Bodywarmer for Site:

Stay warm while maintaining full mobility with a bodywarmer for site. Ideal for active roles in cooler conditions, bodywarmers offer core insulation without restricting your arms. They’re perfect for layering over hoodies or under waterproofs, and they shine on busy job sites where flexibility matters. The CAT Tech Hybrid Jacket functions as a great bodywarmer-style option, combining warmth, mobility, and a modern fit.

Work Jacket with Hood:

A work jacket with hood adds an extra layer of protection against the elements — whether it’s rain, wind, or cold. From adjustable hoods to insulated and waterproof options, our range includes styles that keep you covered and comfortable. Hooded jackets are ideal for tradespeople who need to stay focused without worrying about the weather turning on them mid-job.
