Product Overview
The Junior & Youth Recycled StormDri 4000 jacket represents a significant step forward in sustainable outerwear for younger wearers. This garment takes our best-selling all-year-round school jacket and updates it with an environmentally conscious construction, utilising recycled plastic bottles and post-industrial waste. It remains a robust, weatherproof solution designed to withstand the rigours of school life and outdoor activities while offering comprehensive protection against the elements.
Key Features
- Double-stitched taped seams: This technical construction ensures total waterproof integrity by sealing the points where water is most likely to penetrate, making it suitable for heavy rain.
- Concealed integral hood: The hood is conveniently stored within the stand-up collar, providing immediate protection when the weather turns without being cumbersome when not in use.
- Reflective triangles: Positioned on both the front and back, these enhance visibility during darker winter mornings and evenings, providing an essential safety feature for school commutes.
- Heavy-duty full zip: The substantial zip is designed for longevity, ensuring smooth operation even with frequent use by younger hands.
- Recycled fleece lining: The interior features a soft, recycled polyester fleece that provides essential thermal insulation without adding excessive bulk.
Design & Performance
Engineered from medium-weight recycled polyester, the StormDri 4000 fabric provides a formidable barrier against wind and rain. The fabric's recycled nature does not compromise its technical performance; it remains durable and resilient. The inclusion of an outer storm flap with stud closures further prevents wind-driven rain from entering through the zip line. The elasticated cuffs and stand-up collar are designed to trap heat, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable in inclement conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is an excellent canvas for customisation. Its smooth outer surface is particularly well-suited for large, bold printed designs, such as school names or club logos, which need to be visible from a distance. For a more formal and professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is perfect for intricate school crests or individual names, providing a high-quality finish that withstands the same rugged use as the jacket itself. Our expert team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976, handles all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards.
Use Cases
This jacket is the definitive choice for school uniforms, providing a uniform look across all age groups from 2 to 14 years. It is equally appropriate for youth sports teams, outdoor education centres, and community groups such as scouts or guides. Its durable construction makes it an ideal choice for any environment where children need to remain warm, dry, and visible.

Practical Advice
The sizing range is generous, spanning from XXS for toddlers to 2XL for teenagers. For the best fit, we recommend considering the layers that will be worn underneath; this jacket is designed to fit comfortably over school jumpers or hoodies. The integral hang loop is a small but vital detail for keeping school cloakrooms organised.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the StormDri coating and the integrity of the recycled fibres, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures may damage the waterproof membrane and reduce the lifespan of the garment.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the recycled polyester yarns and fade the colour. Similarly, do not dry clean this jacket, as the solvents used in the process are incompatible with the waterproof finish.
This garment should not be tumble dried or ironed. High heat can melt the synthetic fibres and destroy the taped seams that provide its waterproof rating. For best results, allow the jacket to drip dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
