Parajumpers Jackets: The Complete Guide

At Parajumpers, the term jacket covers all the models that are neither thick down jackets nor long parkas: hybrid jackets, lightweight models and leather pieces. These are the brand's most versatile jackets, designed for the transitional seasons and the city. Here is the complete guide to these jackets. (For the long models, see our guide to Parajumpers parkas; for down, our guide to Parajumpers down jackets.)

Hybrid jackets

This is now one of the brand's great strengths. Hybrid jackets combine down filling on the body and back with sleeves and a collar in jersey or knit fabric. The result: the warmth of a down jacket where it is useful, with the comfort and flexibility of a sweatshirt. Models such as the Nolan and the Jayden perfectly illustrate this category. It is the ideal jacket for the transitional seasons, or as a mid-layer under a coat in winter.

Lightweight and transitional jackets

For milder temperatures, Parajumpers offers lightweight, unpadded jackets that prioritise breathability and freedom of movement. These include:

• Windbreakers: light and packable, perfect for protecting yourself from wind and showers in spring or autumn.
• Soft shells: a soft, technical shell, more structured than a simple windbreaker, ideal for cool, active days.

These are jackets that are easy to slip into a bag, designed for everyday life and travel.

Leather jackets

Rarer, Parajumpers leather jackets are aimed at fans of statement pieces. The leather aviator jacket, often made in a distressed leather, brings a vintage, premium character to the range. It is a niche model, but one that embodies the most upmarket side of the Parajumpers wardrobe — a statement piece in its own right.

How do you choose your Parajumpers jacket?

The right model depends on how you will use it:

• For the transitional seasons or layering: a hybrid jacket such as the Nolan or the Jayden.
• For spring, autumn or travel: a lightweight windbreaker or soft shell.
• For a statement piece: a leather jacket.

In terms of size, Parajumpers jackets generally have a slightly generous cut, designed to allow layering underneath — the precise pointers are in our Parajumpers size guide. And for wearing them every day, see our ideas in how to style Parajumpers.

Recognising and caring for your jacket

Like all the brand's pieces, the jackets carry the signature codes — PJS patch, metal hook, yellow strap — which are also the first authentication points: follow our guide to recognising genuine Parajumpers. To keep them in perfect condition, see our advice on caring for Parajumpers.
