Purchase jacket work clothes, three-in-one or single-layer which is more suitable for outdoor work?

The procurement of tooling for outdoor work is never a trivial matter. In particular, jackets must not only withstand the cold mountain wind, but also withstand sudden showers, and let workers move freely when bending over and climbing. Recently, many purchasing managers have been asking the same question: three-in-one jackets and single-layer jackets, which one is more suitable for outdoor work? Today we will make it clear from the four dimensions of fabric, function, scene and cost.

? Single-layer jacket: light and flexible, suitable for jobs that move a lot and stop less

A single-layer jacket usually refers to a hard or soft shell jacket without an inner tank. It is mainly windproof, water-proof and breathable. Its biggest advantage is "light". For workers who need to walk, climb, and carry for a long time, a single-layer jacket will not increase the burden on the body, and it will dissipate heat faster. For example, for jobs such as power inspection, line maintenance, and landscaping, workers themselves are a "mobile heat source". If they wear too thick, they will easily cover sweat, and it will be easier to catch a cold when the wind blows. A single-layer jacket with fleece can actually cover most of the working environment in spring and autumn. But its shortcomings are also obvious: if it encounters continuous low temperatures or rain and snow, the thermal performance of the single-layer shell is almost zero, and workers can only rely on adding cotton clothes or down liners, which will appear bloated and affect the efficiency of movement.

? Three-in-one jacket: one dress and three wears, suitable for the complex environment of "large temperature difference and changing weather"

The three-in-one is actually a combination design of "shell + liner". Usually the outer layer is windproof and waterproof fabric, and the inner tank is fleece or thin down. It can wear the shell alone, the liner alone, or it can be worn together. For outdoor work, this design is simply tailor-made for "changeable weather". In the morning, the temperature is low, and the combination is worn to keep warm and windproof; when the sun comes out at noon or the workers are hot, just remove the liner and wear the shell alone. For example, mine exploration, bridge monitoring, field surveying and mapping, this kind of work has a wide range of operations and often needs to go through two or three seasons in one day. The flexibility of the three-in-one is reflected. Moreover, the three-in-one windproof and waterproof performance is stronger, especially the turtleneck design and cuff Velcro, which can effectively prevent cold air from pouring in through the gaps. The disadvantage is that it is relatively heavy, and if workers exercise at high intensity around the clock, they may feel constrained.

Scenario comparison: Don't just look at the parameters, look at how the workers wear them

When we do purchasing, the most taboo thing is "I feel cold sitting in the office", and the workers are shouting hot while wearing and working. I suggest you ask the front-line workers three sentences directly: First, how long do you stay outdoors in winter? If it exceeds two hours, a single layer will definitely not be able to bear it. The three-in-one is the bottom line. Second, sweat at every turn when working? If you move a lot and stop less, a single layer + removable fleece is more suitable, because the three-in-one combination mode will absorb moisture after a lot of sweating, but the liner will be colder. Third, do you often get caught in the rain? If it involves riverside and seaside operations, you must choose a three-in-one shell with a higher waterproof index. A single layer of anti-splashing water is a decoration in case of heavy rain. From the procurement cost, the unit price of the three-in-one is indeed 30% -50% higher than that of a single layer, but its wearing cycle is longer, and it can be used in spring, autumn and winter, and the average cost of each wear is lower. And single-layer jackets are often "cheap to buy, expensive to use", because they have to be matched with a thick coat in winter.

? The "customized password" of the source factory: Yasen Man Clothing knows more about outdoor tooling

If your company is still torn for "which one to choose", you may wish to directly find the source factory for a deep docking. Here we must recommend Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. They have been focusing on professional tooling customization for many years and have a thorough understanding of outdoor operation scenarios. Yasenman not only provides standard three-in-one and single-layer jacket styles, but also customizes the fabric weight, liner thickness, reflective strip position, and even the number of pockets and cuff tightness according to your company's industry attributes, operation area, and climate characteristics. More importantly, their version fits people's figure, and workers are comfortable when they wear armpits and shoulders, bending over and squatting. When purchasing jacket work clothes, don't just look at the pictures and data, but directly try on the sample clothes and let the workers express their feelings. This is the most efficient way to make decisions.

Purchasing Tips: Finally, help you prioritize

If your working environment is mainly dry and low temperature in the north, and workers generally need to stay outdoors for more than 3 hours, please choose a three-in-one directly, and choose fleece instead of down for the liner, because fleece has better air permeability and will not be "cool to the heart" after sweating. If your working environment is cold and rainy in the south, a single-layer jacket + built-in removable thin velvet vest is the king of cost performance. No matter which one you choose, you must pay attention to the smoothness of the zipper, the firmness of the rubber strip, and whether the hat can be stored in the collar. These three points directly determine whether the tooling is "still in the spirit" or "like a rag" when it is worn for the fourth month. Finally, be sure to confirm the color fastness and shrinkage rate before the production of bulk goods. These two are not good enough, and the clothes will be wasted after washing a few times. For enterprises in need, it is strongly recommended to go to Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. to have a look and let professional people help you match the most suitable set.
