Which UBR jacket should I buy?
For extreme cold and maximum warmth: Titan Parka in Black — goose down, built for temperatures to -10°C. For UK commuters needing full waterproofing: Regulator Parka Jacket in Black Storm — PrimaLoft® synthetic that stays warm when wet. For a lighter, versatile option: Sonic Jacket in Navy. For a tailored town-and-country coat: Storm Coat in Navy. Call 01744 730985 for a recommendation based on your use case.
What is UBR's waterproof rating?
Most UBR jackets feature the Regulator™ membrane with a 20,000mm waterproof rating and 20,000g/24h breathability — equivalent to expedition-grade Gore-Tex performance. The DWR coating is re-activatable; tumble dry on low heat annually to restore surface repellency.
Down or PrimaLoft — which is better for UK weather?
PrimaLoft® synthetic insulation is the more practical choice for the UK. It retains approximately 98% of its warmth when wet and dries quickly — unlike natural down, which loses loft in damp conditions. For persistent rain and coastal weather, PrimaLoft® performs more reliably.
How does UBR sizing work?
UBR uses European sizing and is cut true-to-size to layer over shirts and business wear. Size up one step if layering over a blazer or thick knitwear. A Canada Goose Medium wearer typically takes UBR Size 50 (L). Call 01744 730985 for model-specific guidance.
Is OD's an authorised UBR stockist?
Yes — OD's Designer Clothing is an authorised UK UBR retailer. Every jacket sourced direct from UBR (not parallel import), quality-checked in store at 44 Barrow Street, St Helens, WA10 1RY for try-on and same-day click & collect.
Which UBR jackets should I look at first?
Styles to look at: Titan Parka in Black, Redox Down Parka, Regulator Parka Jacket in Black Storm, Storm Coat in Navy and Sonic Jacket in Navy. The Regulator Parka suits UK commuters; the Titan Parka suits those prioritising maximum warmth.
Is UBR worth the price?
UBR is priced between Arc'teryx Veilance and Canada Goose — justified by expedition-grade technical performance, Norwegian-engineered fit and a 10+ year lifespan. Organic endorsement from Pep Guardiola and Erik ten Hag, neither of whom are paid to wear them on the touchline.
