Product Overview
The Stormtech ST227 Explorer Thermal Jacket represents a sophisticated fusion of urban aesthetics and technical outdoor engineering. As part of the Pure Earth collection, this jacket is crafted with a significant proportion of recycled polyester, ensuring that high-performance protection does not come at the expense of environmental responsibility. Designed with a bomber-style length, it provides a modern silhouette while incorporating the rigorous H2XTREME waterproof and breathable technology required to navigate the unpredictable British climate with confidence.
Key Features
- H2XTREME Waterproof/Breathable Outer Shell: Offers a superior barrier against heavy rain and wind while allowing moisture vapour to escape, keeping the wearer dry from both external elements and internal perspiration.
- Thermolex High Loft Synthetic Down: Provides exceptional insulation by trapping air to retain body heat, ensuring warmth in cold conditions without the unnecessary bulk of traditional heavy padding.
- Thermal Reflective Lining: Strategically reflects body heat back towards the wearer, significantly enhancing the jacket's thermal efficiency during stationary or low-activity tasks.
- Articulated Elbows: Ergonomically shaped sleeves allow for a full range of arm movement, which is essential for active professionals who require agility on-site.
- Full-Coverage Insulated Hood with Face Shield: Features a flexible opening and zip-off reinforced trim, providing customisable protection against biting winds and driving rain.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Explorer jacket is rooted in its H2XTREME technology, boasting high waterproof and breathability ratings that ensure comfort in diverse environments. The lightweight shell fabric features a PFC-free water-repellent finish, which prevents water from saturating the outer layer, maintaining the garment's lightweight feel even in a downpour. Inside, the thermal reflective lining works in tandem with the Thermolex synthetic down to create a micro-climate of consistent warmth.
Attention to detail is evident in the internal storm flap with brushed tricot and the multiple storage options, including internal mesh stash pockets and a zipped chest pocket. The elastic hem and cuff trims are designed to seal in warmth and prevent draughts, making it a reliable choice for those exposed to the elements for extended periods. The mechanical stretch woven shell further enhances the wearer's mobility, ensuring the jacket moves with you rather than against you.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Explorer is an excellent canvas for high-quality branding. For a truly professional appearance that withstands the rigours of daily wear, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your company logo or staff names onto the chest, providing a textured, premium finish that conveys authority and longevity.
Alternatively, the jacket's smooth outer shell is well-suited to technical printing processes. This is an ideal choice for larger, more vibrant designs that need to stand out in an urban or outdoor setting. Having operated from our Telford facility since 1976, MyWorkwear ensures that every customisation is executed with precision, maintaining the integrity of the garment through careful placement and expert application.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for management-level professionals who split their time between office environments and outdoor sites. Its street-smart styling makes it appropriate for client meetings, while its technical specifications ensure it performs during site inspections or outdoor events. It is also an ideal choice for premium corporate uniforms in the logistics, engineering, or security sectors where a professional appearance must be maintained regardless of the weather.

Practical Advice
The Explorer jacket features a bomber-style length, which provides excellent mobility but sits higher on the hip than a standard parka. When selecting your size, please note the chest measurements range from 35 inches for a Small to 50 inches for a 2XL. Given the high-loft insulation and thermal reflective lining, you may find that a standard base layer is sufficient, though the jacket's mechanical stretch fabric does allow for comfortable layering over a medium-weight sweatshirt if required.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical integrity and waterproof performance of this high-specification garment, it is essential to follow the care instructions. This jacket is designated as dry clean only.
Professional dry cleaning ensures that the synthetic down insulation remains lofty and efficient. Conventional domestic washing could cause the internal insulation to clump or degrade, significantly reducing its thermal properties and potentially damaging the H2XTREME waterproof membrane.
Furthermore, standard detergents and heat from a domestic wash can strip away the durable water-repellent finish and damage the thermal reflective lining. By adhering to professional cleaning, you ensure your investment remains weather-tight and your branding remains in pristine condition for the lifespan of the jacket.
