Sports Jackets for Businesses

Types of sports jackets and how they differ

Melange knit and interlock

To compare men’s and women’s cuts in a related range, see Kariban ProAct PA365 and Kariban ProAct PA366. Both are named as melange knitted jackets. A different knit construction is represented by the Daiber 8053 women’s interlock sweat jacket.

Interlock refers to a knit construction that generally produces a relatively even surface. The name alone does not establish the garment’s fibre composition, thickness or warmth. Check these details for the selected model, along with how it feels to wear and the intended use.

Stretch jacket and 3-in-1 parka

Regatta TRF720 is described as a stretch jacket. If arm movement matters, check the fit with the arms extended too. Kariban K6169 is a 3-in-1 parka, a different type of outerwear from a regular knitted sports sweat jacket. They should not be compared on appearance alone.

How to choose jackets for employees and teams

Start by deciding whether the wearers will mostly be moving or staying still and whether they will use the garment indoors, outdoors or in both settings. Room to move the shoulders and arms is important during active work. If the jacket will serve as a mid-layer, it should fit comfortably under an outer jacket.

When checking fit, allow for the T-shirt or polo the team would normally wear underneath. Look at sleeve length, room across the chest, the neckline finish and the positions of pockets and zips. For women’s and men’s cuts, compare each model’s size chart; identical size labels do not guarantee identical fits.

Consider care requirements as well. Check the washing instructions for the selected product, particularly if the jackets will be worn regularly. The word “sports” does not itself confirm waterproofing, wind protection or special breathability.

Adding a logo: what to check before ordering

Machine embroidery or DTF printing may be appropriate for suitable textiles. The choice depends on the fabric, stretch, artwork, quantity and desired appearance. A knitted surface and a more elastic fabric may call for different approaches, so the same decoration method cannot be guaranteed in advance for every model.

Consider where the logo will not be interrupted by a pocket, seam or zip. If team members wear backpacks or other equipment, check which parts of the jacket will remain visible. Logo size and position may be adjusted across different cuts to achieve a consistent overall look.

For a quotation, useful starting details are the selected models, sizes, approximate quantity, preferred logo position and an artwork file. Gajcom can help check the design and agree on a suitable method and placement.

Frequently asked questions

How do we select sizes for women and men on the team?

Use the size chart for each model and consider the clothing that will be worn underneath. Where possible, also compare the actual fit at the shoulders and chest.

Is a stretch jacket necessarily warmer?

No. Stretch primarily describes how the fabric behaves during movement. Warmth depends on other properties and the garment’s construction, so check the specific product information.

When does a 3-in-1 parka make more sense than a sweat jacket?

When you need a different outer-layer system, consider the 3-in-1 parka. For a lighter standalone or mid-layer garment, compare the sports sweat jackets. The final choice depends on usage conditions and the characteristics of each model.

Can a logo be placed across a zip or pocket?

These areas can make decoration more difficult. Moving the artwork to an uninterrupted panel or adjusting its size is often worth considering. Printing or embroidery suitability must be checked for the selected garment and artwork.
