thermal jacket

Warmth-preserving outer layer

A thermal jacket is an insulated outer garment designed to retain body heat in cold conditions.

The insulation may be synthetic fill, down, or other materials that trap warm air.

Thermal jackets are standard gear for outdoor activities in winter: I grabbed my thermal jacket before heading out to shovel.

The term also applies to insulating sleeves wrapped around pipes, tanks, or industrial equipment to prevent heat loss or protect against temperature extremes.
