How to choose the right jacket?
Each season has its own temperature, but this is not the only variable to
consider when purchasing an item of outerwear, especially when it is
well-constructed like our jackets. When choosing, it is important to also take
into account the field of use, the requirements, the material and last but not
least, the style. For this reason, we want to offer a quick guide, to fully
appreciate the features of the Payper jackets and to choose the right
one for each activity. In fact, for a work jacket, we usually opt for a
more structured and high-performance garment, while for casual outerwear
we prefer practicality and design. The insulating properties, on the other
hand, direct the choice towards the desired thermal comfort.
Which jacket to wear for transition seasons such as spring or autumn?
4-Season: practical windproof jackets
The 4-season jackets are the ideal choice for those looking for a versatile
and lightweight garment that takes up little space. With a sporty cut, they
are made with soft and elastic materials, such as taslon nylon, to
resist rain and wind. These unlined jackets are the ideal ally on mild
days with variable weather, ensuring breathability and freedom of movement. We
move from more linear designs such as the ATLANTIC 2.0, to more structured
items such as the PACIFIC R. 2.0, embellished with a two-tone zip, shaped hood
and adjustable cuffs. Even effortless garments like these feature
practical internal details, a hallmark of the Payper DNA.
SOFT-SHELLS: all-around technical jackets
Soft-shells are designed to protect against rain and wind, keeping
your body warm and dry at all times. 3-layer soft-shells are made of
an outer water-resistant and elastic technical fabric that encloses a central
membrane, which ensures excellent breathability, to which an internal
micro-fleece is added, to offer softness and warmth. These outerwear items are
perfect for wearing outdoors during intense aerobic activities, as they ensure
good protection and the correct release of body vapour. Developed in different
styles, casual like the STORM, sporty like the EXTREME, professional like the
PERFORMER 2.0, they have become essential garments for both work and leisure
contexts. An easier version, for indoor activities or without the need for high
performance, are the 2-layer soft-shells, like the PERTH, without
the central membrane, a very practical and soft shell for everyday life.
Which jacket to wear with the first cold weather?
Casual Jackets: versatile and lightly padded jackets
The sporty chic style characterises these jackets with simple lines
that enclose a lightweight and comfortable padding inside, to provide
the right warmth during outdoor activities, ensuring maximum agility. Starting
from the SOUTH R. 2.0, the vest version of the SAILING R. 2.0, enriched by the
useful shaped hood, up to the sailor model NORTH 2.0, available in many colours.
All made of lightweight and sporty taslon nylon, they are enhanced by
the presence of micro-fleece on the collar and back, an element that makes this
outerwear ideal for tackling the first cold weather or for professional
activities in which warm, but not bulky clothing is necessary. They differ in
the accessories, such as the two-tone zip, the adjustable cuffs and the
presence or absence of the hood.
Down Jackets: padded jackets with free fibres
Payper down jackets are
characterised by the “filled” padding, with small and soft free fibres,
which give softness to this casual outerwear. Light as a feather
and not bulky, DownJ jackets offer pleasant thermal insulation
and are the most sought-after in autumn or during sunny winter days. With a
timeless design, characterised by strip or section quilting, they are
available with or without a hood, like the FREETIME or the FREELANCE, and in
the vest version, like the TIME or the MEMORY, to best meet the use
requirements. The outer water-repellent treatment allows you to wear
these down jackets even in light rain.
Super padded outerwear to fight the real cold
Work Jackets: warm, sturdy, professional
Work jackets represent
the beating heart of the Payper padded jackets, as they are meticulously
accessorised, to facilitate the user during work activities. Padded, with a high
degree of thermal insulation, some of which are level 3, they are equipped
with countless pockets, to conveniently store objects. They differ in
style, with the possibility of choosing between different lengths, and in their
material. The wide range can be divided, in fact, into pongee ripstop
jackets, very resistant to tearing, such as the TORNADO PLUS, a triple-use
outerwear item, which easily adapts to any change in climate or activity,
and plain pongee jackets, equally resistant and warm, such as the ORION
2.0. Some padded work jackets also have detachable sleeves, for
example the FIGHTER 2.0, to conveniently transform them into a vest. Most
models are complete with retroreflective stripes, to be used even in
low-light situations. These jackets are the right solution to fight the cold
safely and comfortably.
Padded Soft-shells: unparalleled comfort and warmth
Strong on the outside and soft on the inside, padded soft-shells
represent the warm evolution of soft-shells. Fashionable and super technical on
the outside, rich in details and very warm on the inside, for unparalleled
protection from the cold. The innovative padding gives an extra boost of
warmth, making this outerwear ideal for tackling the coldest winter days.
The excellent fit, combined with the functional and aesthetic details, makes
the new padded soft-shells unique and iconic, ideal for wearing at work
and in your free time, to challenge all the elements in style.
Distinctive designs characterise the Payper padded soft-shells, ranging
from the WISE PAD, a sporty-cut jacket, designed for work, embellished
with the "Life-saving" element, to the comfortable and informal CREEK
PAD, up to the NORDET, with a more urban look.
Useful tips for choosing the right jacket
Before buying a jacket, a sports jacket or a vest it is important to
consider the weather conditions, the type of activity you will be doing and
your personal style. If you want a casual and practical jacket, to
always carry with you, you can opt for a 4-season one. The choice falls
on a Soft-shell, on the other hand, should you need a more performing
and breathable outerwear item. During the transition seasons, when
temperatures drop and for outdoor activities, Casual Jackets and Down Jackets
are preferred, insulating outerwear, but at the same time practical
and not bulky. With stiffer temperatures, depending on the field of use,
you can choose between Work Jackets, padded jackets particularly
suitable for work contexts, as they are more functional and versatile,
or padded Soft-shells, with a more casual and modern design, ideal for
protecting yourself during the coldest days, thanks to their unparalleled
thermal insulation.
