Grundéns has rolled out a suite of insulated cold-weather gear that is infinitely wearable. The feature attraction here is the Weather-Boss jacket and bibs, which are built to be heavy-duty workwear for cold conditions. Both coat and bibs are coated with heavy-duty, 10,000-millimeter and 5,000 mvp breathable nylon.

All seams are taped, and the coat has a breathable waterproof layer that sits between the nylon shell and the insulated liner, which is made of Primaloft. The Primaloft liner is surprisingly soft and cozy, and maintains some warmth even when it gets damp.

“This is just super nice insulation. It’s branded, nice, high-quality stuff, and it’s a big part of the reason the stuff works,” said Grundéns representative Cory Lowe.

Both the Weather-Boss coat and bibs have wider cuts for layering underneath, and the jacket has a regular length cut for wearing a tool belt underneath. While it is not exactly deckwear, this coat is perfect for working around the boatyard or as an outer layer for driving and delivering in cold weather. The bibs also have ample legroom for full workwear underneath, along with reinforced knees and kneepad pouches.

“This is for people who are working around the yard, repairing lobster traps or nets in the winter, that kind of thing. It’s not waterproof, but it’s water resistant, and will shed some weather, but it’s more about keeping warm,” Lowe said.

Another addition in the cold weather vein for Grundéns is the Ballast Insulated Jacket. Grundéns says the coat can be worn around the boatyard or on a date “with the right person,” and they do fall more into the evening wear category. This is a good-looking jacket with a slimmer fit than the Weather-Boss that still has great movement, in part from deep lateral shoulder gussets.
