Product Overview
The Nimbus Womens Westlake represents a sophisticated shift in hybrid jacket design, moving away from bulk towards a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette. This garment is engineered to meet the demands of the modern professional who requires versatility across seasons. By combining a weather-protective front with highly stretchable fabric on the sleeves and back, it provides the technical performance of a shell jacket with the unrestrictive comfort of a mid-layer. The feminine cut, featuring a low-cut collar and a straight hem, ensures a professional appearance that transitions seamlessly from the worksite to client meetings.
Key Features
Weather-Resistant Front Panel: The front shell is equipped with a technical TPU membrane that offers significant resistance to wind and water, ensuring you remain protected in unpredictable British weather.
Sorona Aura Padding: This lightweight insulation provides efficient warmth-to-weight performance, keeping your core temperature stable without the need for a heavy, cumbersome coat.
Hybrid Stretch Construction: The sleeves and back are crafted from a recycled, stretchable fabric, allowing for a full range of motion that is essential for active tasks throughout the day.
Two-Way Main Zip: This feature allows for greater flexibility when sitting or driving, preventing the jacket from bunching up and maintaining a clean profile.
Bionic Finish ECO: A sustainable, water-repellent finish that helps moisture bead off the surface, keeping the fabric drier for longer while respecting environmental standards.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Westlake jacket is rooted in its material composition, utilizing a high percentage of recycled nylon and polyester. This commitment to sustainability does not come at the expense of durability; the outer shell is robust enough to handle daily wear while the interior lining remains soft against the skin. The integration of a TPU membrane ensures the jacket is breathable, allowing internal moisture to escape during physical exertion, thus preventing that uncomfortable clammy feeling often associated with waterproof outerwear. The straight hem and tailored feminine fit provide a modern aesthetic that distinguishes it from standard, boxy unisex workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is an ideal candidate for customisation, allowing your business to project a unified and professional image. For a classic, high-end finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos or staff names, offering a textured, durable result that withstands the rigours of daily work life. If your branding involves large, bold graphics or specific Pantone colours, our high-quality print techniques may be more suitable to achieve maximum visual impact. Our expert in-house team, established in 1976 and based in Telford, oversees every stage of the process to ensure your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
The Westlake is designed for the active professional who needs a jacket that can do it all. It is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, or hospitality staff who move between indoor and outdoor environments. Its sleek design also makes it a superior choice for corporate events or as part of a high-quality uniform for sales teams and front-of-house staff who require both protection and a polished look.

Practical Advice
The Westlake is a performance-fit garment designed for layering. For a snug, professional look over a polo shirt or light base layer, we recommend sticking to your standard size. However, if you intend to wear a medium-weight sweatshirt underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider sizing up to ensure maximum comfort and movement. The range is available from XS up to 3XL, catering to a wide variety of body shapes.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity and water-repellent properties of your Westlake jacket, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Using a higher temperature can damage the TPU membrane and the recycled fibres, eventually leading to a loss of weather protection and shape.
You must avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the fabric's structure and degrade the vibrancy of your custom print or embroidery. Similarly, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used in that process are too abrasive for the technical finishes.
Air drying is essential for this jacket; do not tumble-dry. The heat from a tumble dryer can cause the padding to clump and may compromise the bonding of the weather-resistant front panel. Finally, do not iron the garment. The synthetic nature of the recycled fabrics means high heat could melt or distort the surface, particularly near any customised branding.
