The 5 best technical jackets for winter 2026: Atelier Fratelli Carbè's selection

Winter is approaching, and choosing the right technical jacket is never easy, given the materials, insulation, weight, and style. At Atelier Fratelli Carbè, we personally select each item to ensure it combines functionality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Here is our ranking of the five best technical jackets to face the cold season in style.

1. Peuterey — Technical elegance that defies winter

When we talk about the Peuterey jacket, we're talking about sophisticated outerwear that blends Italian design with cutting-edge materials. Peuterey is synonymous with technical garments designed for those who live in the city without giving up protection from the cold.

Strengths of Peuterey jackets:

• Advanced thermal insulation: goose down or high-tech synthetic fiber padding that retains heat without adding bulk.
• Urban and refined design: clean lines, essential cuts, and a fit designed for effortless movement from morning to evening.
• Versatility: a Peuterey jacket seamlessly transitions from a business meeting to a dinner downtown.

Available at Atelier Fratelli Carbè in a selection of colors ranging from classic black to burgundy, and military green.

2. K-Way — The foldable icon you can't do without

The K-Way men's jacket is much more than just a windbreaker: it's an icon of functional fashion. Born in Paris in the 1960s, K-Way revolutionized the concept of a rain jacket with its packable system that folds into its own pocket.

Why a K-Way is essential in your winter wardrobe:

• Featherlight: light, compact, and space-saving — you always carry it with you without thinking about it.
• Certified waterproofness: technical fabrics that protect you from rain and wind without sacrificing breathability.
• Timeless style: the famous front zip with contrasting details and the K-Way logo have become a distinctive sign recognized worldwide.

For winter 2026, the new K-Way collections offer padded variations that combine the practicality of packable with the necessary warmth for cold mid-seasons.

3. RRD (Roberto Ricci Designs) — Technique born from the sea

RRD jackets are born from a passion for the sea and windsurfing, but they have become a benchmark for technical men's outerwear. Roberto Ricci Designs brings the experience accumulated over decades of challenging the elements into your wardrobe.

What makes RRD jackets unique:

• Water-repellent and performance fabrics: materials developed to withstand the most extreme conditions, from heavy rain to strong winds.
• Ergonomic cuts: every RRD jacket is designed to ensure freedom of movement, with heat-sealed seams and waterproof zippers.
• Marine aesthetic: a mood that recalls the coast and outdoor life, with technical details that become a style element.

Perfect for those looking for an authentic technical garment with a history and a sporty soul.

4. Aeronautica Militare — Military style meets winter comfort

The Aeronautica Militare collection, curated by Atelier Fratelli Carbè, combines the iconography of the Italian Air Force with contemporary design. The result? Jackets with a strong character, a technical soul, and an unmistakable aesthetic.

Aeronautica Militare jackets stand out for:

• Details inspired by aviation tradition: patches, labels, and finishes that tell a story of Italian excellence.
• Robust and warm materials: resistant fabrics with padding that ensures thermal protection without sacrificing a modern fit.
• Bold look perfect for those who want to stand out with garments of strong character, without being excessive.

Every garment is a piece of Italian history that meets contemporary style needs.

5. Lacoste — The winter polo?

When you think of Lacoste, you think of the polo shirt, but Lacoste jackets are a surprise for those looking for well-made, sporty-chic garments. The famous crocodile adapts to the cold season with technically valid and stylistically impeccable proposals.

Lacoste winter jackets offer:

• Sporty elegance: classic lines reinterpreted in a modern key, with technical fabrics that do not betray the unmistakable style of the French brand.
• Construction quality: the same attention to detail that has distinguished the maison for decades is found in every seam and every zip.
• Everyday versatility: jackets that work equally well with jeans or more elegant trousers, ideal for those looking for a single garment for every occasion.

How to choose the right technical jacket for you

Men's technical jackets are not just about protection from the cold. Here's what to consider when choosing:

• Climate and use: for the city and daily use, a Peuterey or a padded K-Way are ideal. For outdoor activities or more extreme conditions, RRD offers the best performance.
• Style and personality: if you love military character, Aeronautica Militare is your collection. If you prefer a more classic and recognizable look, Lacoste never disappoints.
• Practicality: the foldable K-Way is perfect for those who are always on the go and want a garment always at hand.
