Biz Collection Eclipse ladies jacket

The Eclipse is Biz Collection's waterproof ladies jacket built for genuinely wet, windy days rather than just a light shower. The outer is a 100% polyester matte melange shell with a breathable TPU membrane, and the seams are sealed so water cannot creep in through the stitch lines. That sealed, matte finish is what separates it from a softshell that only holds up to drizzle.

Warmth comes from inside. There is a quilted metallic nylon lining and a 100% polyester insulation layer, so the jacket keeps the wearer warm while the outside stays clean and corporate looking. It runs longer with a dropped tail hem, which gives a bit more coverage over the seat and lower back when you are standing around outdoors.

Practical details round it out: a zip off detachable hood with adjustable drawcords, a high neck collar and storm cover front to block wind, waterproof zippered pockets with a warm tricot lining, and adjustable Velcro cuff tabs. If you want a wet weather corporate jacket for a uniformed team, it is worth a look on the Done Right Safety product page.

Choosing the right jacket for the job

Start with how wet the work really gets. The Eclipse is a seam sealed waterproof jacket, so it suits roles where staff are out in steady rain and wind, not just the odd shower. If your team mostly wants warmth on cold but dry days, a softshell or puffer style may feel less stiff. If the rain is the problem, this is the type of jacket you want.

Think about coverage and warmth together. The longer length with a dropped tail hem gives more protection over the lower back, and the quilted lining plus polyester insulation handle the cold. The detachable hood is handy when you move between outdoor and indoor work, since you can zip it off when it is not needed.

Sizing and fit

This is a ladies cut jacket, so check the size range and measurements on the Done Right Safety product page before ordering for a team. Because it is an insulated, lined jacket rather than a thin shell, allow room for a mid layer underneath if staff will wear it through winter. The adjustable Velcro cuff tabs and hem cinch cord let each wearer pull in the fit to keep draughts out.

Decoration, care and longevity

For uniforms, the internal embroidery access in the side seam means a decorator can add a logo without cutting through the waterproof lining, which protects the seam sealing. Follow the care label rather than guessing: waterproof and seam sealed garments usually need gentle washing and no harsh heat so the TPU membrane and sealed seams stay intact. Confirm the exact wash and care guidance on the product page or the supplied label.

Done Right Safety lists these four as the same type of ladies and womens jackets, so the comparison below is a like-for-like look at how each one handles weather, warmth and decoration.

The honest split here is about how hard the weather is. The Eclipse is the only one of the four described as seam sealed waterproof, so it is the pick when staff are out in real rain. The Aussie Pacific Aspen is a 3 layer softshell with a waterproof zipper, which feels more flexible and breathable but is built around a different recipe. The Biz Collection Alpine puffer and the James Harvest Arches are about warmth and sustainability: the Alpine is a showerproof recycled puffer and the Arches is a lightweight recycled padded jacket, both better suited to cold and dry than to a downpour.

So choose the Eclipse if waterproof protection in wind and rain is the main job. If the priority is everyday warmth, a softer feel, or a recycled content story, one of the other three may suit better, just accept they are not built to keep out steady rain the way the Eclipse is.

On paper the Eclipse does the one thing a wet weather corporate jacket needs to do. The combination of a seam sealed waterproof shell, a storm cover front, a high collar and waterproof zippered pockets is a sensible package for staff who actually stand out in the rain. The longer length with a dropped tail hem and the quilted insulated lining mean it should keep wearers warmer and drier than a thin shell.

What is confirmed on the listing is the construction: the polyester matte melange shell with TPU membrane, the quilted nylon lining, the polyester insulation, the detachable hood, the Velcro cuff tabs and the internal embroidery access. Those are the details to lean on when you are specifying a uniform.

What the listing does not state is any formal rating, certification or test result, so do not assume one. There is no published standard for this jacket in the information provided, and the size range and care instructions are not listed here either. Confirm sizing, washing guidance and any ratings you need on the Done Right Safety product page or the supplied datasheet before committing to a bulk order.
