Product Overview
The Stormtech Montserrat thermal jacket is a sophisticated piece of outerwear designed for professionals who refuse to let damp, cold conditions dictate their productivity. Part of the Pure Earth collection, this jacket balances high-performance thermal insulation with a commitment to environmental responsibility. By utilising a lightweight quilted body paired with flexible stretch side panels, it provides a tailored fit that moves with the wearer, making it an ideal choice for active work environments where temperature regulation is paramount.
Key Features
- Thermolex High Loft Synthetic Down: This advanced insulation mimics the heat-trapping properties of natural down while maintaining its thermal efficiency even in damp conditions.
- PFC-Free Water-Repellent Finish: The outer shell is treated to repel moisture without the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring you stay dry during light showers.
- Windproof Outer Shell: Engineered to block out cold gusts, this shell maintains a consistent internal temperature when working in exposed locations.
- Stretch Side Panels: Single-layer side panels provide the necessary elasticity for full range of motion, preventing the jacket from feeling restrictive during physical tasks.
- Zipped Hand Pockets with Brushed Tricot: These pockets offer more than just storage; the soft lining provides a warm refuge for cold hands during brief periods of downtime.
- Adjustable Drawcord Hem: Allows for a precise fit to seal in warmth and prevent cold air from entering from below.
Design & Performance
This jacket is a testament to modern fabric engineering, constructed from a high-quality blend of recycled and virgin polyester. The primary shell is a lightweight fabric that belies its incredible warmth, while the secondary shell features a recycled polyester polar fleece bonded with elastane. This combination ensures that the garment is not only sturdy enough for daily work use but also incredibly comfortable. The internal full-length storm flap and chin saver are small but significant details that prevent the zip from causing irritation, highlighting the thoughtful design behind this Stormtech garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Montserrat is designed with branding in mind, featuring specific decoration access to ensure a clean finish. For businesses seeking a truly professional and long-lasting appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names. The quilted texture of the body provides a stable base for high-quality stitching.
Alternatively, for larger, high-impact branding, our printing services can produce sharp, bold designs that stand out. Our Telford-based production team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your workwear represents your brand with the authority it deserves.
Use Cases
Given its blend of professional aesthetics and technical performance, this jacket is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and team leaders who transition between the office and the field. It is particularly effective in the unpredictable British climate, where a lightweight yet warm layer is an essential part of a daily uniform.

Practical Advice
The Montserrat is designed with a standard fit to accommodate layering. If you intend to wear a heavy sweatshirt underneath, you may wish to consider the size range carefully. The elasticised cuffs and adjustable hem provide significant flexibility in how the jacket sits against the body, helping to retain heat regardless of what you wear beneath it.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-loft insulation and water-repellent properties of this jacket, it should be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours. Using standard domestic detergents is fine, but you must avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibres and reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the recycled polyester fibres and damage the garment's structural integrity. When drying, use a low-temperature tumble dry setting; this helps to re-loft the synthetic down, ensuring the jacket retains its thermal performance. Ironing should be avoided entirely, particularly over any custom branding, as the heat can melt the synthetic materials and ruin the finish. Finally, do not dry clean this garment.
