Aussie Pacific mens Sheffield jacket

The Sheffield is the kind of jacket you reach for when a polo or shirt has stopped doing the job and the weather has turned. It pairs a polyester twill outer with a TPU membrane, so the shell is built to hold off wind and water while the seams are sealed to stop the wet sneaking in at the obvious weak points.

Underneath, there is a 220gm brushed fleece lining, which is the part you actually notice on a cold morning. That combination puts it in the warm, weather-resistant corner of corporate workwear rather than the light layering corner. The rating listed for the fabric is WP 5000 and BP 5000, which describes how the shell handles water pressure and breathability.

It carries the practical touches you want on a daily jacket: a detachable hood with a peak, a water sealed chest zip pocket, two side zip pockets, and a bit of extra body length with a twin head main zipper. If you want the full specification before ordering, you can view the Sheffield jacket on Done Right Safety.

Deciding if it suits your conditions

Start with the weather you are dressing for. The Sheffield leans warm and weather-resistant: a fleece-lined inner with a membrane shell. If your crew mostly needs a light wind layer for mild days, this may be more jacket than you want. If they spend time outdoors in the cold and the occasional shower, it sits in the right zone. The WP 5000 and BP 5000 figures are the shell's listed water and breathability numbers, so confirm they match your expectations on the product page before you commit a large order.

Getting the fit right over layers

This is an outer layer, so size it to sit comfortably over the shirt, polo or jumper your team already wears, without looking bulky. The extra body length and curved back hem are there to give a little more coverage at the back, which is worth keeping in mind if your staff bend and reach a lot. When you order, check the size guide on the listing against what people wear underneath rather than their usual t-shirt size.

Care and getting the most out of it

Follow the care instructions on the garment label so the membrane and the sealed seams keep doing their job. Do up the water sealed chest zip pocket if you are carrying a phone or cards in the wet, and use the detachable hood when you need it, then take it off for a cleaner look indoors. A quick check of the main zipper and the seams now and then will tell you if a jacket is starting to wear before it lets water through.

The table sets the Sheffield against two other men's jackets in the same Corporate Workwear range, so you are weighing one outer layer against genuine same-type alternatives rather than a different product category.

The clearest split is what each jacket is built to do. The Sheffield is the one with a stated water rating, a sealed shell and a fleece lining, so it is the pick when the priority is keeping people dry and warm on cold, wet days. The Aspen swaps that for a stretchy three-layer softshell, which moves better and suits active work where flexibility matters more than a sealed membrane.

The Buller is a different feel again: a lightweight nylon puffer with padding and a stand-up collar, aimed at packable warmth rather than weatherproofing. If your team needs something easy to carry and throw on for the cold, the Buller fits. If they need to stay dry through a shower, the Sheffield is the stronger choice of the three.

On the listing, the Sheffield reads as a sensible all-rounder for a corporate or trade wardrobe. The combination of a membrane twill shell, sealed seams and a 220gm fleece lining is a familiar recipe for a warm, weather-resistant jacket, and the WP 5000 and BP 5000 figures give you a stated reference point for the shell rather than a vague claim. The detachable hood and the water sealed chest pocket are the kind of details that earn their keep day to day.

What you should confirm on the product page is the part that matters most to your team. The size range, available colours and the exact measurements are not in the summary here, so check those on the listing before ordering for a group. If you have a specific standard or rating you need to meet, treat the WP and BP figures as the shell's listed performance and verify any further certification on the datasheet rather than assuming it.

For most buyers wanting a branded outer layer that holds off cold and showers, this is an easy one to shortlist. Just match the fit to what people wear underneath and you will get the coverage the extra body length and curved hem are designed to give.
