In trend: softshell jackets and bodywarmers
To be safe at low temperatures, it is always important to wear the right clothing. It is essential to wear clothing items that allow us to move freely, such as jackets and softshell vests.
Since we have a good understanding of how the human body works when we are cold and we know the properties of certain materials, it is recommended to choose clothes made from a wide range of artificial and natural fabrics. Having said that, the ideal clothing items for such circumstances are softshells.
What are they made of? They are m ade of a soft insulating polyester fabric.
Softshell jackets and vests, a smart trend
Fashion theorist and historian, James Laver has a theory about the life cycle of fashion trends. It was supported by Stanley Marcus, the former president of the American luxury chain, Neiman Marcus. According to this theory, when a trend is in fashion, it is definitely “smart”. From the range of warm clothes, the most used pieces are jackets and vestele softshell. They allow us to use several layers of clothes without hindering our movements and are very practical.
These are essential pieces of clothing in anyone’s wardrobe, but also an important part of the equipment of any employee or member of your company’s team.
Experience has shown us that, in general, several layers of clothes successfully fulfill the need to adapt to cold temperatures. However, for a high level of comfort, layers of light clothes are recommended instead of thick and bulky ones. Clothes such as jackets and softshell vests allow good ventilation and, at the same time, the trapped air acts as a good insulation against the cold.
Important elements in choosing customized softshell jackets or vests:
- choosing the optimal way of personalization, taking into account the characteristics of the material
- type of event / occasion for which these jackets/vests are offered
- the available budget – essential in choosing the model
- the size structure of the beneficiaries, to offer them the most pleasant experience
- the style of jackets or vests offered: functional style (workwear) for work hours or classic style for everyday or recreational activities
For them to work effectively, they must:
- To keep the body warm, because when we expose ourselves to low temperatures, the sense of touch, respectively pain, are not as perceptible, therefore employees may be prone to accidents
- To regulate body temperature and keep it constant
- To allow free movement
- To allow you to be comfortable regardless of the weather
Personalization methods
Given the special characteristics of this material – impermeability, wind resistance – the customization possibilities are limited to those that do not permeate the material. That’s why embroidery is not recommended for these pieces of clothing. Screen printing transfer or the new high quality printing method, DTF (Direct To Film – printing on film and then transferring on the object) is successfully used.
