How to Choose Chefwear on Pegasus UK

Updated

Pegasus UK (pegasusuk.com) sells chefwear in three main styles: long sleeve, short sleeve, and a Coolmax short-sleeve jacket with a half-mesh back. Prices for the items shown range from about £9.75 to £18.69, with some listed at a discount. Choose by sleeve length first, then by whether you need extra back ventilation, and check the listed reviews where available.

Start with the three chef jacket options

The site's Chefwear category lists 60 products, but the jacket choices shown on the page fall into a few clear types:

Style Key feature Listed price
White long sleeve chef jacket with press studs Full arm coverage, press-stud front From £14.38 (shown at £9.99)
White short sleeve chef jacket with press studs Short sleeves, press-stud front From £13.78 (shown at £9.75)
White Coolmax pullover short sleeve jacket with half mesh back Short sleeves, half-mesh back for airflow From £18.69 (shown at £22.50)

Prices are shown as "From" amounts, which usually means the final price depends on size or variant. The page does not state which sizes carry which price, so confirm the exact figure on the product page before ordering.

Match the jacket to your kitchen conditions

Choose long sleeve if:

  • You want full arm protection in a hot or splatter-prone kitchen.
  • You prefer a traditional chef jacket look.
  • You are buying for staff who work near open flames or fryers.

Choose short sleeve if:

  • Your kitchen runs warm and you want less fabric on the arms.
  • You want the lowest listed price point among the jackets shown.
  • You are outfitting a team where comfort matters more than full coverage.

Choose the Coolmax mesh-back jacket if:

  • Heat and sweat are your main problem.
  • You are willing to pay more (from £18.69) for a ventilated back panel.
  • You want a pullover style rather than a press-stud front.

The mesh back is the only feature on this list aimed specifically at breathability, so it is the clearest upgrade if airflow is your priority.

Check reviews and discounts before buying

Some chef jackets show review counts — for example, the long sleeve and short sleeve press-stud jackets each show 2 total reviews, and the Coolmax jacket shows 2 total reviews. Read these before deciding, since they are the only user feedback shown on the page.

The page also has a "Discounted Items" section. The long sleeve jacket, short sleeve jacket, and Coolmax jacket all appear with a higher "regular price" crossed out against a lower sale price. If a discount is active, the sale price is what you pay; if not, you pay the regular price shown.

Beyond jackets: aprons and other chefwear

Chefwear on the site is not limited to jackets. The page also shows Pegasus Aprons, including a 100% polyester navy/white stripe butcher's bib apron listed at £8.00 (shown at £7.50) and bib aprons with an adjustable halter. If you need a full uniform, pair a jacket with an apron from the same category.

A quick decision path

  1. Decide whether you need long sleeves or short sleeves.
  2. If heat is the main issue, go to the Coolmax mesh-back option.
  3. Check the current price on the product page, since "From" pricing and discounts can change the figure.
  4. Read the listed reviews for that specific jacket.
  5. Add the matching apron if you are building a complete set.

If you are still unsure, the short sleeve press-stud jacket is the lowest-cost entry point shown, while the Coolmax jacket is the one built for ventilation.
