People often think that clothes are nothing more but mere fabrics worn over the body – a necessity that society dictates is the right thing to do. Well, if one does not give much though and care about it, this is actually a decent reason as to why we wear clothes.
But of course, wearing clothes is more than just about fabric over our body. It is also more than just about fashion or brands or looking good. Beyond all these other factors, clothes were made to protect the human body.
It is not the clothes that we need, but the protection that we get out of it. Protection from dirt, cold weathers, hot weathers, bruises, skin problems, and so much more.
This is also the reason why there are different kinds of fabrics and clothes available in the market – because we need a different kind of clothing for the different weathers, days, routines, and situations we tackle on a daily basis. When it is hot, we opt for loose clothes that can help us battle the heat. When we are headed for the office, we wear comfortable, formal office clothes that help exude an aura of professionalism. When we go have to do mobile work, we go for clothes that can help us move with ease but will still be able to give us protection from possible injuries.
A significant type of clothing that is a must have for everyone are jackets. These are outdoor wears that basically help protect the wearer against the cold weather. However, for those in the line of protection service – Tactical supports, Policemen, and Security officials – jackets serve a lot more than just giving warmth.
Security personnel usually do a very important job of securing valuable property. As a result, you have to ensure that they are using the right gear, ranging from security jackets all the way to the appropriate communication tools. However, since there are some many security clothes available, it is easy to get confused. Here are some of the top jackets for your security team to help you get started.

These windbreakers are usually in
black or dark blue, and it bears the logo of the agency the police belongs to (FBI, NYPD, DEA, CSI), or sometimes just the badge of the agency. However, one thing common is the big and bold “POLICE” that is written on them, clearly stating that they are members of law enforcement.
It is important for police officers to be wearing a windbreaker, especially during raids, so that the jacket can easily conceal the vest and armor. This is also important as a means for other agencies to be able to identify which of them are involved and has the warrant service. Not wearing the identified windbreakers sometimes results to a “friendly misfire” between cops from different agencies.
This windbreaker jacket from Rapid Dominance is made out of 100 percent Polyester, and can be fully-zipped, with two side pockets, perfect for easy access to gears and documents that might come handy when faced in a raid situation.
