Men's Sandbanks Jackets

Born from a desire to combat the plastic epidemic, this is a new luxury brand – in which every single jacket is made using sustainable and earth-friendly materials. Primarily, recycled plastic bottles!

Think a jacket made from trash will be trash?

Not even close. Men’s Sandbanks coats may be crafted from litter found in the oceans and landfill sites. But they still excel in terms of their performance – successfully shielding against the weather, keeping you warm on the coldest days, and ensuring you look good whilst doing good.

Whether it be a longer puffer jacket like the Branksome or Ravine jacket, or a shorter bomber, make a change this winter and choose carbon-neutral outerwear.

What is the difference between a Sandbanks windbreaker and an insulated jacket?

Windbreakers use a lightweight RPET recycled polyester shell without insulation — they block wind and light rain and are designed for active use or mild transitional weather. Insulated jackets and parkas add Thermore® Ecodown® fill, which provides significant warmth even in wet conditions, making them suitable for autumn through winter use.

Do Sandbanks insulated jackets work when wet?

Yes. Thermore® Ecodown® insulation is made from 100% recycled PET and is engineered to maintain loft and warmth when damp — unlike natural down, which compresses and loses insulating ability when wet. This makes Sandbanks insulated jackets a practical choice for unpredictable weather.

How should I size a men's Sandbanks jacket?

Jackets fit true to size across the range. If you plan to wear a heavy knitwear or fleece mid-layer underneath, consider sizing up by one. The range runs XS to 6XL.

What styles does the Sandbanks jacket range include?

The Sandbanks jacket range at OD's covers lightweight gilets, hooded shells, packable rain jackets and quilted insulated styles. Each Sandbanks jacket is constructed from recycled materials — primarily ocean-bound plastic bottles spun into a technical polyester shell. Designed for transitional weather: lightweight enough to layer, water-resistant enough for British spring and autumn.

Are Sandbanks jackets waterproof?

Sandbanks jackets are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. The recycled polyester shell sheds light rain and breaks the wind, with taped seams on selected technical styles. For sustained heavy rain a dedicated waterproof shell is better; for everyday British weather, the Sandbanks jacket range covers commute, walk and casual wear cleanly.

How do Sandbanks jackets compare to Belstaff or Barbour outerwear?

Sandbanks sits in the premium-but-accessible bracket — typically £150–£350 for jackets — versus heritage-priced Belstaff (£395–£995) and Barbour wax (£199–£499). Where Sandbanks differs: every shell uses recycled ocean-bound plastic and Thermore® Ecodown® fill rather than waxed cotton, Lampo® Italian zips throughout, and the cut runs cleaner and more contemporary than the heritage British brands.

What does a men's Sandbanks jacket cost, and how should I layer it?

Men's Sandbanks jackets at OD's typically run £150–£350 depending on style and insulation. Lightweight RPET windbreakers sit at the lower end; Branksome long-line puffers and Ravine insulated styles at the top. For British autumn–winter wear, layer a Sandbanks puffer over a heavyweight knit or a fleece mid-layer.
