A down jacket is insulated with soft and cozy down feathers from ducks or geese.
It can trap warm air and hold heat, keeping the user exceptionally comfortable in cold winter temperatures.
Also, it’s considered a premium promo item for its value and looks; having your company logo on this one will make you stand out.
2. Down Vest
As we have mentioned with the down jacket, the down vest is pretty much the same but sleeveless.
It’s also super sleek looking.
Due to the down feathers’ compressibility, the down vest is simpler to pack.
Moreover, when the air clusters are squeezed, they repel all of the air out of the jacket, making it smaller and flatter.
3. Packable Jacket
A packable jacket is the perfect travel companion as it’s super lightweight and easy to carry around.
This item makes a great holiday gift; it’s also great for your fellow adventurous peeps who enjoy a hike or any outdoor activity, as it can be folded into a small pouch.

In addition, this item comes in multiple unisex options and water-repellent materials, making choosing your next gift a breeze.
5. Insulated Jacket
An insulated jacket is ideal for dealing with the chilly air.
It’s 100% polyester and is waterproof to defend against wind, snow, and rain.
In addition, the jacket is insulated with 100% polyester faux down and is designed to keep your staff warm.
Knowing that your personnel are appropriately protected provides you and your customers with confidence that the job will be done.

A 3-in-1 jacket is often made out of a water-resistant and breathable external layer, as well as a warm, fleece-style jacket on the inside.
They can be worn independently or zipped together to create three different combinations – ideal for changing weather.
The inner fleece jackets will keep you cozy with optimal insulation and breathable materials.
Moreover, they are a more practical option for a pullover when worn alone.
Still, when paired with an outer jacket, they become an essential element of any outdoor equipment, whether they’re for a climb in the mountains or a winter stroll.

11. Softshell Jacket
Softshell fabric is woven, making it a nice warm layer with no mobility limitations like other fabrics.
Unlike traditional outdoor jackets, a softshell jacket does not have a lining and is created by binding two layers of cloth together for insulation and flexibility.
In addition, it’s designed to fill the gap between a fleece, which provides limited waterproofing and wind-resistant protection, and a stretchier waterproof jacket.
Author’s Tip: This full-zip jacket would be perfect for great team jackets if you’re looking for team outerwear. Also, the color options are endless, and it would look great with your custom logo.
12. Polyfleece Jacket
Polyfleece jackets are comfortable, and they are great-looking men’s jackets.

21. Eco Jacket
Eco-friendly jackets are definitely in for the win.
Eco-friendly jackets are made from recycled materials such as recycled polyester, and they can make a huge difference in telling the right story.
Overall, 42% of people had a more favorable opinion of a brand if the promotional product they received was eco-friendly, according to the 2019 ASI Impressions study.
People are concerned about the environment more than ever now; therefore, choosing a promotional marketing item that substitutes single-use items or is manufactured from recycled or sustainable materials is essential.
In addition, green promotional materials can line up with whatever green aims or positions your company already has.
Consistency is vital since it tells your consumers and clients that you are serious about going green.

How to Make Your Own Branded Jackets in 4 Simple Steps
Before we help you make your own jacket customization process a breeze, we want to share with you some jacket-related advice and information.
It’s important to mention that branded jackets are kept by customers for an average of 16 months and produce 6,100 impressions during their lifespan, according to research held by Asicentral.
Hence going for outerwear is a win-win situation; keep the following clothing tips in mind for 2022:
All-inclusive sizing is essential:
Consider giving larger size options, or invest in coats with belts for more size variability.
Puffer coats made of synthetic down are the newest consumer fad:
Many people are turning away from genuine down products because of allergies and animal rights concerns; hence synthetic down is viewed as a simple and low-maintenance option.
Think lightweight:
Lighter-weight knits and water-repellent textiles are in high demand, and they are loved by everyone for their versatility.
Now that you’ve read these tips, let’s show you an easy way to make your custom jackets.
Step #1: Partner with a reliable swag supplier
When selecting a swag provider, consider response time, platform simplicity of use, ratings/customer service, and item minimums.
Not all swag providers are the same, and you should choose one that meets your requirements.
For example, if you need a speedy turnaround, select a vendor that guarantees next-day proofs and expedited shipment.
If moral conscience is one of your principles, choose a vendor that sources from smaller, minority-owned, and environmentally friendly companies.
