When is it time for the winter jacket? (-5 to 10 degrees)

When temperatures drop below 0 degrees, we recommend a warm winter jacket. Down jackets or padded jackets with synthetic fibres offer excellent insulation and keep you nice and warm during the cold winter months. Since rain is common during this time, a waterproof jacket with a water column of 10,000 mm is advisable. The Winter Puffer Jacket from Kapten & Son is made from robust, recycled materials and reliably keeps you warm and dry. Underneath the jacket, you can wear a warm jumper. Alternatively, the Winter Puffer Jacket can be combined with our Light Fleece Jacket. This gives you an additional insulation layer, perfect for those of us who feel the cold!

5 to 10 degrees: A balancing act between winter and transitional jackets

When choosing the right jacket, besides the temperature, your personal sensitivity to cold and your activities play a crucial role. At temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees, both a warm winter jacket and a well-insulated transitional jacket can be suitable. A leisurely visit to the Christmas market doesn’t involve much movement. You mostly stroll from one stall to the next and stand a lot. Here, we would recommend a winter jacket. However, if you cycle to work in the morning, your body warms up faster through exertion and you need more freedom of movement. In this case, a transitional jacket like the Puffer Jacket from Kapten & Son makes the most sense. The jacket is excellent for mild cold, wind and drizzle. Since the Puffer Jacket itself is not very waterproof, you can combine it with our Heavy Rain Jacket. The rain jacket reliably protects you from the unpredictable autumn weather.

Which jacket at 10 to 15 degrees?

At temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees, you should dress according to the layering principle. Instead of one thick layer, opt for several layers of clothing that you can put on or take off flexibly depending on the weather. This way, you’re prepared for any change in weather. 3in1 jackets offer you maximum flexibility here. The set consists of a soft fleece jacket that keeps you warm and a rain jacket that provides reliable protection even in heavy rain. Breathable materials and ventilation openings under the arms prevent overheating and sweating. The Everyday 3in1 Rain Jacket also offers maximum freedom of movement and looks elegant thanks to its minimalist design – perfect for any occasion.

What should I wear at 15 degrees?

Pleasant weather with an occasional fresh breeze? Between 15 and 20 degrees, we recommend reaching for a light jacket. Suitable options include leather jackets, denim jackets or fleece and rain jackets like the Kapten & Son Light Fleece Jacket or Heavy Rain Jacket. Both protect you from the wind and can be combined with many looks.
