❄️ Why Use a Waterproof Calf Jacket?
Calves exposed to low temperatures, draughts and damp bedding are at risk of cold stress. Cold stress not only slows growth but diverts vital energy away from immunity and development — increasing health risks. Insulated calf jackets help:
-
Maintain core body temperature in cold conditions
-
Reduce exposure to wind, rain and cold bedding
-
Support efficient energy use for growth
-
Promote comfort in early life stages
-
Help reduce calf illness in exposed environments

Calf Jacket Buying Guide for Dairy & Livestock Farms
Cold stress is one of the most common challenges affecting young calves during autumn and winter in the UK. When temperatures fall below a calf’s thermal comfort zone (typically around 10°C for young calves), energy that should support weight gain and development is diverted towards maintaining core body temperature.
A properly fitted waterproof insulated calf jacket — particularly a 200g fill jacket with a durable 600D outer shell — helps reduce heat loss and support consistent warmth during cold, damp and draughty conditions.
Why Use Waterproof 200g Calf Jackets in Winter?
Insulated calf jackets are widely used on dairy farms and livestock units to provide reliable protection when:
- Temperatures drop below 10°C
- Calves are housed in outdoor hutches
- Housing is exposed to draughts
- Bedding becomes damp or humid
- Sudden weather changes occur
A 200gsm insulated calf coat offers practical winter-level warmth without restricting movement. Combined with a waterproof 600D outer layer, it protects against rain, condensation and cold airflow that can contribute to stress and reduced performance.
Key Features to Look For in a Quality Calf Jacket
When selecting calf jackets for UK dairy farms, prioritise:
Waterproof 600D Oxford Ripstop Outer Fabric
Provides durable weather protection suitable for daily farm handling.
200gsm Thermally Bonded Insulation
Supports warmth retention during cold spells without excessive bulk.
Breathable Inner Lining
Allows moisture to escape, preventing overheating and discomfort.
Adjustable Chest, Belly and Leg Straps
Maintains secure positioning even with active calves.
- Durable Construction
Designed for repeated seasonal use across multiple calves.
The correct combination of waterproofing, insulation and secure fit is essential for effective winter calf management.
When Should Calves Wear Jackets?
Calf jackets are typically introduced:
During autumn and winter months
- When temperatures consistently fall below 10°C
- For newborn calves in their first weeks of life
- In exposed or less insulated housing systems
Jackets are generally removed once temperatures rise and calves develop greater resilience to cold conditions.
Monitoring behaviour, coat condition and housing environment remains important when determining duration of use.
Calf Jacket Sizing & Fit
Correct sizing ensures maximum insulation efficiency.
A calf jacket should:
- Sit evenly across the back
- Fasten securely without restricting movement
- Provide full coverage without excessive length
- Remain stable when calves stand or lie down
A poorly fitted jacket can reduce insulation performance and increase rubbing.
Benefits of Using Insulated Calf Jackets on Dairy Farms
Waterproof insulated calf coats can help:
- Reduce cold stress exposure
- Support more efficient energy utilisation
- Improve comfort during winter housing
- Maintain warmth in damp conditions
- Contribute to more consistent early growth performance
When combined with appropriate nutrition, dry bedding and good ventilation, calf jackets form part of a structured winter calf management strategy.
