Introduction
Being able to sell a line of products year-round is the dream for every retailer or wholesaler. Functional jackets fall into this category because when you think about it, it's always raining and the wind is blowing somewhere! In this post, we look at how our functional jackets can help your sales grow.
What is a functional jacket?
A functional jacket is designed for the great outdoors during some of its not-so-great weather tantrums. It keeps the wearer warm, dry and uses breathable or ventilated materials to allow sweat to escape. It also minimizes restriction as much as possible so that the wearer is free to move as much as possible.
These garments often include features such as adjustable hoods, cuffs, hemlines, and zippered pockets, but if that makes functionality sound boring then think again. At LotoGarment we design our functional jackets with fashionable good looks in mind. We manufacture them to exacting standards and for a range of activities including workwear.
Functional Jackets for Winter Sports
Skiers and snowboarders don't just want to keep warm and dry. They want to look super cool on the slopes as well, So any successful functional jacket for winter sports needs to be on point with the latest looks. We use design teams that have their finger on the pulse, so our functional jackets strike a balance between good looks and functionality. We use waterproof and breathable materials, with insulation that keeps the skier or snowboarder warm and well-ventilated, but with enough secure pockets to hold and protect everything they need on the slopes.
This jacket from LotoGarment is designed with extreme comfort and protection in mind, so customers don't have to worry about feeling cold or uncomfortable on the slopes. The fabric is made of 52% recycled polyester, so they can feel good about that.
This functional jacket is ventilated so that moist air from powering through all that powder can escape. It is wind and waterproof with a JIS rating of 20000/5000 water pressure/breathability. It's also tear-resistant, which means it's tough enough to soak up plenty of the inevitable tumbles that are part and parcel of these exciting sports.
Functional jackets for workwear
Millions of people all over the world work outside, day and night, and in all weathers, to keep our roads and railroads running, for example. Fashion isn't so much of a concern with their outer garments. It's more about protection, comfort, and practicality. People moving around outdoors for eight or more hours a day need the kind of functional jackets that they can live with.
Here's one of ours:
Strong, comfortable, breathable, and practical! It features reflective strips for maximum visibility in poorly lit conditions.
Functional Jackets for Hiking
Hiking requires clothing that is both lightweight and durable to provide freedom of movement and protection. Hiking jackets are typically made from lightweight materials such as nylon or polyester and they feature water-resistant and breathable membranes, and customers also want features like adjustable hoods, cuffs, and waistlines, and pockets to store water bottles or trail snacks.
Our women’s hiking jacket fulfills those requirements and is a popular buy among outdoor enthusiasts—probably because it’s good-looking too!
Functional Jackets for Running
Functional jackets for running need to be lightweight and breathable to keep the runner comfortable while providing protection from the elements such as wind and rain. Running jackets often feature stretchy materials like spandex or elastane, and ventilation elements such as mesh panels or zippered ventilation. Additionally, running jackets may have reflective elements to ensure visibility during night-time running.
This example of our running jackets for ladies is a puffer-style designed for cold weather.
It’s a perfect combination of style, comfort, and protection for women’s cold weather running. The shell fabric is 100% nylon. It’s wind-resistant, down proof, and striped with a light Graphene material. The lining is the same as the shell fabric to make sure customers get maximum insulation keeping them warm on winter days. We use Thermore fake down (100% recycled) for insulation. We added a fixed hood with an elastic band at the hood opening for extra protection against cold winds. The sleeve cuff is also elasticated. We used CF zippers: the no.5 plastic zipper in different colors for the zipper tape and teeth, and no.3 nylon reverse zippers with logo pullers on the lower pockets. The seams are not taped.
Functional Jackets for Hunting
Hunters need clothing that provides camouflage and protection from the weather. Hunting jackets are often made from water-resistant and windproof materials and sometimes feature camouflage patterns to blend in with the surroundings.
Our hunting jacket is a puffer design so it’s well insulated for warmth, as well as being water-repellent and windproof. This stylish yet functional design features a central flap with color piping and a metal press button, as well as front two-way zippers for easy closing and opening. The attached hood with press stud (hidden under the flap) and a no.5 nylon zipper provide extra protection from the elements.
The two large pockets are roomy and can also store a couple of cartridges. The hand-warmer pockets in the chest have a comfortable brushed tricot lining, while ventilation zips under the arms keep hunters cool and relaxed during a hunt. It features four inside pockets, including one specifically for a mobile phone—providing easy access to gear. The game bag is waterproof and washable and it's also detachable for easy cleaning.
