Product Overview
The Stormtech Nautilus quilted hooded jacket is a sophisticated piece of outerwear engineered to combat the unpredictability of British weather. Designed with a focus on both thermal retention and moisture management, this jacket serves as a dependable barrier against the elements while maintaining a professional silhouette. Its quilted construction is not merely aesthetic; it is designed to distribute warmth evenly across the torso, ensuring that the wearer remains comfortable during long periods outdoors.
Equipped with a full-length internal stormflap and a specialised PFC-free water-repellent finish, the Nautilus is purpose-built to repel wet weather. It provides a practical solution for those who require a reliable layer that offers protection without the bulk of traditional heavy coats. This jacket represents a well-engineered balance of form and function, suitable for various professional environments.
Key Features
- Adjustable Full-Coverage Thermal Hood: Provides essential protection for the head and neck, allowing the wearer to seal out wind and rain effectively.
- PFC-Free Water-Repellent Finish: An environmentally conscious treatment that ensures water beads off the fabric surface, keeping the interior dry during showers.
- Feather-Free Insulation: Offers a modern, high-performance alternative to down, providing consistent warmth even in damp conditions.
- Internal Stormflap: A full-length barrier behind the zip that prevents wind penetration, maintaining a stable internal temperature.
- Elasticised Cuffs and Adjustable Hem: These features allow for a tailored fit that traps heat and prevents cold air from entering the garment.
Design & Performance
The garment is constructed from a 100% polyester shell and lining, which provides a resilient exterior capable of withstanding the rigours of daily professional use. The use of thin-baffle quilting ensures the insulation remains securely in place, preventing cold spots and maintaining a sleek, non-bulky profile. This design is particularly effective for active use, as it allows for a full range of movement while providing substantial thermal protection.
Performance is further enhanced by the lightweight nature of the fabric. Despite its ability to provide significant warmth, the jacket remains easy to wear for extended shifts. The water-repellent finish is a critical technical detail, ensuring that the jacket does not become heavy or waterlogged when exposed to rain, thus preserving its insulating properties.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Nautilus quilted jacket is an excellent canvas for corporate branding, supporting both print and embroidery applications. For a professional and long-lasting finish, embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest area. This method provides a textured, premium appearance that withstands frequent laundering and the demands of outdoor work.
Alternatively, print customisation is available for larger, bolder designs on the back of the jacket. Our in-house team, based in Telford and established since 1976, utilises high-quality techniques to ensure your branding is applied with precision. Whether you choose the traditional finish of embroidery or the visual impact of printing, your team will present a unified and professional image.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideal for professionals who split their time between the office and the field. It is particularly suited for site supervisors, logistics personnel, and transport workers who require a smart appearance while needing protection from the wind and rain. Its lightweight construction also makes it a sensible choice for commuting or for sales teams visiting clients in various weather conditions.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note the range from Small to 2XL. This jacket is designed to be worn over standard work attire; however, if you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider the chest measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit. The adjustable hem is particularly useful for fine-tuning the fit to your specific body shape.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Stormtech jacket, we recommend a cool wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and degrade the water-repellent finish, reducing the jacket's effectiveness in wet weather.
Always ensure the jacket is fully dry before storage. Avoiding harsh chemicals and bleaches is essential, as these can break down the technical coatings on the polyester shell and may lead to premature wear or discolouration of your custom embroidery or print.
