CXS Canis Durham Insulated Softshell Jacket – Reliable Outer Layer for Electricians
The foundation of this set is the CXS Canis Durham Softshell Jacket, a perfect choice for electricians who work outdoors in changing weather. Constructed from a durable softshell material with an internal microfleece lining, this jacket offers excellent heat retention while maintaining breathability. The windproof membrane ensures full protection from cold drafts, while its waterproof coating keeps moisture out during snow or drizzle.

The CXS Canis Sirius Brighton Winter Trousers complement the jacket perfectly. These trousers feature an insulated lining that maintains body warmth even during long hours in low temperatures. Made of a durable polyester-cotton blend, they combine flexibility with high abrasion resistance — crucial for electricians who kneel or move frequently between work areas. Reinforced knees extend garment life, while multiple utility pockets allow for safe storage of instruments and small components. Reflective strips improve visibility during outdoor electrical installations or repairs. The adjustable waistband guarantees comfort, and the breathable fabric prevents overheating when moving between indoor and outdoor sites.

CXS Canis Ottawa Fleece Jacket – Mid Layer for Optimal Warmth
The middle layer plays a key role in moisture control and heat retention. The CXS Canis Ottawa Fleece Jacket is a soft, lightweight fleece that traps body heat effectively without restricting movement. Its high collar and elastic cuffs provide extra protection against the wind. The material dries quickly, which is ideal for electricians who work in fluctuating conditions — for example, entering cold outdoor areas and then warm interiors. The Ottawa fleece can be worn alone during mild winter days or as a mid-layer under the Durham jacket in freezing weather. It’s breathable, anti-pilling, and designed for everyday use in industrial settings, offering both functionality and comfort.

With their oil-resistant outsole and shock absorption system, they offer fatigue-free wear throughout long working hours. This model ensures stability, warmth, and protection for every step taken on site.
