Winter Jackets

In addition to men’s winter jackets, Engelbert Strauss also supplies some special women’s winter jackets – in several colours and a individual design. For instance, the Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020 for women has a more tailored design and in feminine colours, such as stone/lavender and platinum/capri. There are also cool jackets for children from a number of collections, such as e.s.motion 2020, e.s.vision or e.s.motion ten, allowing even the little ones to look like their parents – the perfect family outfit!

Nomen est omen: The 3 in 1 functional jacket incorporates the onion principle. Outside, a sporty weatherproof functional jacket, including a fleece inner jacket that can also be worn separately. Ideal if you keep alternating between indoors and outdoors at work, or the outer temperatures rise during the day. It also acts as between-season jacket at the same time!

Softshell is a versatile material and is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. All softshell jackets have a good insulation function. Winter softshell jackets by Engelbert Strauss however keep the wearer very warm and withstand even the toughest of sub-zero temperatures. Here, too, Engelbert Strauss uses a string lining such as ISOFILL®. This means that the jacket is very warm whilst also remaining lightweight and breathable at the same time.

Secure warmth: Even in the winter, high-visibility is not just mandatory for some professions but essential for survival. For instance, for persons that work close to flowing traffic – it is absolutely essential to be highly visible. This is why Engelbert Strauss also offers winter jackets with a high-visibility function, in some case in different colours, e.g. the high-vis Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020.

A classic coat is not suitable for outdoor action because it is too inflexible and not as resistant to weather. Anyone who still prefers the long winter look with find the parka to be a good alternative. The Winter parka e.s.vision also offers something that coats can’t: thanks to ISOFILL® 300 it has an extremely warm lining, an extremely waterproof dryplexx® membrane and is reliably windproof. The length of the parka protects the sensitive kidney area.

Does everything good come from above? Anyone who works outdoors a lot has reason to doubt this theory. In particular, rain can be very unpleasant in the cold season. Nobody likes wearing wet clothes and there is also a risk of hypothermia which can be extremely dangerous. Many winter jackets by Engelbert Strauss are therefore waterproof – this is ensured by the dryplexx® membrane which does not allow any moisture to penetrate the material layers of the jacket. In this way, the e.s. 3 in 1 functional jacket also offers reliable protection against the wet.

People who know that they will not be exposed to heavy rain only need a water-repellent jacket like the Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020: water droplets simply pearl off the water-repellent material. It also offers reliable protection against moisture to a certain degree – e.g. morning fog or light precipitation. However, anyone who is exposed for a longer period to the wet or heavy rain showers should opt for a waterproof jacket like the Winter functional pilot jacket e.s.motion denim or a rain jacket worn over appropriately warm clothing.

Winter work jackets should keep you warm, obviously, but they shouldn’t make you sweat excessively, and that can happen quickly if you move around at lot at work. If you usually carry out strenuous work in your jacket, you should ensure that it is breathable; this is the only way to ensure that the produced body heat within the jacket is transferred to the outside. Most of the Engelbert Strauss winter jackets are able to do this thanks to e.g. an dryplexx® membrane like the Winter softshell jacket e.s.vision has: this ensures that excess heat and the moisture produced is transported outwards immediately and that no excess cold air can penetrate the inside.

Breathability can be achieved by means of certain fabric functions. The windbreaker knitted-hood jacket e.s.motion ten has lightweight lined sleeves that are not only flexible but are also warm, breathable and wind-repellent. The padded quilted inside keeps the torso reliably warm.

To ensure that the wearer is warm in the jacket, and also stays this way, insulation is the most important function of a winter jacket. This is primarily realised by means of the lining. Here, Engelbert Strauss uses various materials to provide the optimum solution for a wide range of application areas. Therefore, when selecting your jacket, keep this point in the back of your mind: will I be moving around a lot? In this case, ensure that the insulation is also breathable to prevent heat build-up. In case of physical exertion, it is decisive that the jacket keeps the wearer warm and protects the body from the cold surroundings.

Every winter jacket needs a hood – ultimately it offers additional protection against the cold and icy draughts. Most models have a detachable hood and size-adjustment features for an excellent fit. On some jackets, e.g. the e.s. 3 in 1 functional jacket, the hood can also be stowed in the neck.

Practical for stowing all kinds of tools you need every day at work: you often can’t have enough pockets. Be it side pockets, spacious pockets or Napoleon pockets – all Engelbert Strauss jacket models have plenty of practical storage space. The Pilot jacket e.s.image is also a real pocket wonder: from the breast pocket through several inside pockets, this winter jacket has a large amount of storage space.

The essential cold protection of a real winter jacket is achieved with the lining and outer material. The models by Engelbert Strauss are often equipped with additional features that also protect you in sub-zero temperatures: for instance, the warm quilted lining of the softshell jacket e.s.motion also has an additional thermo-reflective zone in the back. The Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020 has a chin protector so that the front zip can be closed safely up to below the chin to protect the sensitive neck area from the cold. Elastic cuffs like those on the Winter jacket e.s.motion ten reliably prevents cold wind on the arms penetrating the inside of the jacket. And the 3 in 1 functional jacket e.s.motion 2020 also has an additional, detachable inside jacket that provides more warmth in the cold season. In addition to all features and lining properties, you should of course also ensure that the jacket is the right length to protect areas of the body that are susceptible to the cold, like the kidneys.

Dark when you get up and dark when you get home – the winter is a fairly dismal season which is why it is so important to remain visible. Some e.s. jackets (e.g. the Softshell jacket e.s.motion, the 3 in 1 functional jacket e.s.motion 2020 and the Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020) are therefore equipped with reflective piping to raise visibility in the dark.

In some jobs, visibility is essential for survival and high-vis is therefore mandatory. Here, too, Engelbert Strauss has an attractive solution for cold days: the high-vis Winter softshell jacket e.s.motion 2020 has 3M Scotchlite™ reflector material that reflects light particularly well. Lined with warm ISOFILL® 200 and equipped with breathable dryplexx® membrane, it offers optimum high-vis for the winter.
