Product Overview
The Stormtech Gravity Thermal Shell represents a sophisticated approach to technical outerwear, offering a sleek, low-profile design that belies its protective capabilities. Engineered with a high-density D/W/R (Durable Water Resistant) outer shell, this jacket is designed to repel moisture while maintaining a lightweight feel. The quilted body is paired with an ultra-soft liner and insulated hood, providing enhanced thermal properties for those who work in unpredictable climates. It strikes a balance between professional appearance and high-performance functionality, ensuring you remain protected against the elements without the restriction of a bulky coat.
Key Features
- Stormtech D/W/R Outer Shell: This durable water-resistant coating provides a critical first line of defence against rain and sleet, keeping the wearer dry during light showers.
- Quilted Body with Thermal Fill: The ultra-lightweight thermal fill provides efficient heat retention, ensuring warmth in cooler conditions without adding unnecessary volume.
- Internal Storm Flap and Chin Saver: A full-length storm flap behind the centre zipper prevents wind penetration, while the chin saver ensures the zipper does not cause discomfort against the skin.
- Brushed Tricot Hand Warmer Pockets: These lined pockets offer immediate warmth and comfort for the hands, a subtle but essential feature for outdoor work.
- Internal Media Port: A dedicated port for media cables allows for seamless communication or listening while keeping devices protected within the jacket.
- Adjustable Hem and Elasticized Cuffs: These features allow the wearer to seal in body heat and tailor the fit to their specific requirements.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Gravity Thermal Shell focuses on longevity and resilience. The outer fabric is a 100% nylon ripstop, a material specifically chosen for its ability to resist tearing and abrasion, which is vital in a workspace environment. Inside, the 100% polyester polyfill provides insulation that maintains its loft even in damp conditions, unlike traditional down. The nylon taffeta lining ensures the jacket slides easily over mid-layers, preventing the bunching or restriction of movement often associated with coarser materials. Despite its lightweight nature, the jacket is designed for the rigours of daily professional use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Gravity is an excellent candidate for customisation, featuring a dedicated embroidery access point to ensure your company branding can be applied without compromising the internal lining or the thermal fill. Embroidery provides a distinguished, textured finish that is ideal for corporate logos or staff names, conveying a high level of professionalism. For larger, more vibrant graphics, our printing services are equally effective. All customisation is managed in-house at our Telford facility, where our team, established in 1976, ensures that every garment meets our exacting standards for quality and durability.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for professionals who transition frequently between vehicles and outdoor sites, such as surveyors, project managers, or delivery specialists. Its sophisticated silhouette also makes it a popular choice for corporate uniforms where a modern, athletic look is preferred. Given its thermal properties, it serves as a reliable outer layer for autumn and spring, or as a mid-layer during the depths of winter.

Practical Advice
The Gravity Thermal Shell is designed with a sleek, form-fitted profile. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider selecting a size up to ensure full range of motion. The set-in sleeves provide a structured shoulder fit, which contributes to its professional appearance. It pairs effectively with technical base layers to maximise the efficiency of the thermal shell technology.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and aesthetic of your thermal shell, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements. We recommend a cold machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Using cold water helps to preserve the integrity of the D/W/R coating and the nylon ripstop fibres, preventing premature wear.
Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic fibres and cause the colours to fade. After washing, the jacket should be hung to dry. Avoid the use of a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can damage the thermal fill and the outer shell's water-resistant properties.
This garment should not be ironed, particularly over the decorated areas. High heat from an iron can melt the nylon fabric and will certainly damage any custom print or embroidery. Finally, do not dry clean this jacket, as the solvents used in that process can strip away the essential water-repellent finish.
