Product Overview
The Stormtech ST175 Nautilus Quilted Jacket is a versatile piece of outerwear engineered to provide thermal efficiency without the bulk of traditional heavy coats. This lightweight garment features a quilted design that effectively traps heat, making it an ideal choice for professionals who require mobility alongside protection from the elements. The addition of a water-repellent coating ensures that you remain dry during light showers, while the overall construction maintains a professional appearance suitable for both client-facing roles and active site work.
Key Features
- Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Outer Shell: This specialized coating provides an initial barrier against moisture, causing water to bead and roll off the fabric rather than soaking in.
- Quilted Body with Ultra-Soft Lining: The internal insulation is held in place by precision quilting, paired with a soft lining that ensures all-day comfort during extended shifts.
- Internal Full-Length Storm Flap: Positioned behind the main zip, this flap acts as a secondary barrier against wind penetration, significantly reducing the impact of wind chill.
- Elasticized Cuffs: These provide a secure fit around the wrists, helping to retain body heat and prevent cold air from entering the sleeves.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from Small up to 5XL, ensuring a consistent uniform solution for entire teams regardless of their build.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester pongee, the Nautilus jacket is designed for durability and ease of movement. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it a practical choice for layering over sweatshirts or under heavier waterproofs in extreme conditions. The polyester pongee material is chosen for its smooth finish and resilience, ensuring the jacket retains its shape even after repeated use in demanding work environments. The internal storm flap and elasticated cuffs are practical additions that prioritize the wearer's comfort in variable British weather.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Nautilus jacket serves as an excellent canvas for corporate branding. We recommend embroidery for those seeking a superior, professional appearance; it is particularly effective for company logos or individual names on the chest. The quilted fabric provides a stable base for high-density stitching, ensuring your brand remains clear and durable.
For larger, more prominent designs, such as those required for event staff or site identification, our printing services offer a sharp and vibrant finish. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, leveraging nearly five decades of experience since our founding in 1976 to ensure your workwear meets the highest standards.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for supervisory staff on construction sites, delivery drivers who frequently transition between vehicles and the outdoors, or corporate teams attending outdoor trade events. Its clean lines and quilted aesthetic also make it a popular choice for staff uniforms in the hospitality and service sectors where a professional yet functional look is required.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear beneath the jacket. If you plan to layer it over a heavy-weight sweatshirt or fleece, you may wish to consult our sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit. The internal storm flap is most effective when the jacket is fully zipped, providing maximum protection against wind ingress.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your Stormtech jacket requires adherence to specific care protocols to ensure its longevity and continued weather resistance.
We recommend a machine wash on a cold cycle. Using cold water is essential to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibres and the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. Harsh chemicals or hot water can strip this coating, significantly reducing the jacket's ability to shed water.
When drying, use a tumble dryer on a low heat setting. This gentle heat helps to maintain the loft of the quilted insulation, preventing it from clumping and ensuring the thermal properties are evenly distributed throughout the garment.
Do not iron this jacket. High temperatures from a domestic iron can cause permanent damage to the synthetic polyester pongee fabric and may melt the internal insulation, which will compromise both the appearance and the protective capabilities of the outerwear.
