Product Overview
The Stormtech Cascadia Thermal Jacket represents a significant advancement in lightweight insulation technology. Engineered as a versatile, all-season garment, it utilises Stormtech’s proprietary Thermal Shell polyfill to provide reliable warmth in both temperate and cold environments without the burdensome weight of traditional padded outerwear. Its construction focuses on a balance between thermal retention and physical flexibility, making it an ideal choice for professionals who require protection from the elements while maintaining a full range of movement.
Key Features
- Thermal Shell Insulation: The polyfill technology provides efficient heat retention, ensuring you stay warm in fluctuating British weather without feeling weighed down.
- Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) Finish: The outer surface is treated to shed moisture, protecting the wearer from light rain and drizzle during outdoor tasks.
- High-Performance Stretch Outer Shell: The inclusion of spandex within the woven fabric allows the jacket to move with the wearer, reducing resistance during physical activity.
- Articulated Elbows and Underarm Gussets: These design elements are specifically engineered to provide an ergonomic fit, ensuring the jacket doesn't ride up or restrict your arms while working.
- Adjustable Thermal Hood: The full-coverage attached hood features an easy-lock adjustment system, allowing for a secure fit that keeps the wind out.
- Functional Storage: Zipped on-seam handwarmer pockets provide secure storage for tools or mobile devices while keeping hands protected from the cold.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Cascadia jacket is rooted in its sophisticated material composition. The main shell is crafted from a blend of recycled nylon and spandex, offering a robust yet flexible exterior that stands up to daily wear. The secondary shell and lining further enhance this mobility, utilizing high-density brushed-back knit panels and recycled polyester to ensure interior comfort and breathability.
Sustainability is at the core of this garment's design, incorporating a high percentage of recycled materials across the shell, lining, and insulation. This focus on eco-conscious manufacturing does not come at the expense of durability; the contoured seaming and reinforced construction ensure the jacket maintains its shape and protective qualities even after extensive use in demanding work environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, high-density outer shell of the Cascadia jacket provides an excellent canvas for custom branding. For businesses seeking a sophisticated and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is particularly suited for company logos and staff names, providing a textured, professional appearance that withstands the rigours of the workplace.
Alternatively, film print or screen printing can be used for larger, more vibrant designs on the back or chest. Our expert in-house team at MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques in Telford since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and care to maintain the technical integrity of the jacket's water-repellent finish.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and technical engineers who transition frequently between indoor environments and outdoor sites. Its sleek, contoured profile also makes it an excellent choice for corporate team wear or uniform programmes where a professional, athletic appearance is required. Given its lightweight thermal properties, it serves as an excellent outer layer in autumn and spring or a mid-layer during the height of winter.

Practical Advice
The Cascadia jacket features a tailored, contoured fit. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider selecting a size larger than your usual measurement to ensure maximum comfort. The single-hand hem adjustment is a particularly useful feature for sealing in heat quickly when the temperature drops unexpectedly.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the Thermal Shell insulation and the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. We recommend a machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours. Using a cold setting prevents the synthetic fibres from breaking down and ensures the jacket retains its shape.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners at all costs, as these can coat the technical fibres and significantly reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment and the breathability of the fabric. Bleach should also be avoided to prevent damage to the recycled materials and any custom branding.
When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting or, preferably, hang the jacket to dry naturally. High heat can damage the spandex components, leading to a loss of elasticity. If ironing is necessary, use a very low setting and never iron directly over the custom decorations or branding, as this will cause permanent damage to the print or embroidery.
