Product Overview
The Stormtech Altitude jacket is a highly engineered solution for professionals who require warmth without the bulk. This ultra-lightweight polyfill jacket is constructed to provide superior thermal properties while maintaining a streamlined, professional silhouette. By utilizing a showerproof D/W/R (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer shell, it ensures that light precipitation does not compromise your comfort or the integrity of the insulation. The quilted baffles are not merely aesthetic; they are designed to stabilize the thermal fill, ensuring consistent warmth across the entire garment during long hours in the field.
Key Features
- Stormtech Thermal Shell Insulation: Provides advanced heat retention to keep you warm in cold environments without the weight of traditional heavy coats.
- Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Outer Shell: A technical coating that encourages water to bead off the surface, protecting you from light rain and damp conditions.
- Articulated Sleeves: Tailored to follow the natural movement of the arms, allowing for a full range of motion while working or driving.
- Brushed Tricot Hand Warmer Pockets: Offers immediate comfort and warmth for your hands, which is essential during prolonged exposure to low temperatures.
- Full-Length Inner Storm Flap: Acts as a critical barrier against wind penetration, ensuring heat remains trapped inside the jacket.
- Embroidery Access: Specifically designed with customisation in mind, allowing for clean branding without interfering with the internal lining.
Design & Performance
The exterior is crafted from a 100% nylon micro ripstop fabric. This material is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, offering resistance against the minor snags and abrasions common in active work environments. Inside, the polyester polyfill creates a sophisticated thermal barrier. Despite its lightweight nature, the jacket performs admirably in cold conditions, making it an ideal choice for those who transition frequently between vehicles and outdoor sites.
The design focuses on technical performance. The use of quilted baffles prevents the insulation from shifting or bunching, which is a common failure point in lower-quality outerwear. This ensures that there are no cold spots, providing a consistent thermal experience throughout the life of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Altitude jacket is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. The internal access point allows our Telford-based team to apply your company logo directly to the chest or sleeves with precision, ensuring a high-quality appearance that withstands regular wear.
For those requiring larger or more vibrant branding, this jacket also supports high-quality print techniques. Whether you choose embroidery for its classic professional look or print for bold visibility, all work is handled by our expert in-house team, who have been refining their craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for corporate staff, site managers, and delivery professionals who need to maintain a professional appearance while staying protected from the elements. It is particularly effective for those working in temperate but unpredictable climates where a heavy parka would be cumbersome but a standard fleece is insufficient.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed with a technical fit. For those intending to wear it over heavy jumpers or multiple layers, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders. It serves as an excellent outer layer over a technical base layer or a light sweatshirt.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the DWR coating and the loft of the polyfill, we recommend a machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours. Using cold water prevents the breakdown of the water-repellent finish and helps keep the fabric's micro ripstop structure intact.
Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will strip the technical coatings and weaken the nylon fibres. For drying, please hang the jacket to dry naturally. Avoid heat sources and do not iron the garment, as high temperatures can melt the synthetic fill and damage the outer shell. Specifically, avoid ironing any custom decorations to prevent peeling or distortion of your branding.
Dry cleaning is not recommended for this product, as the chemicals involved can interfere with the thermal properties of the polyfill insulation.
