Product Overview
The Stormtech Nostromo thermal shell is a highly technical, lightweight garment designed to provide superior protection and comfort in unpredictable weather conditions. Engineered with the advanced H2XTREME system, this shell acts as a waterproof yet breathable barrier, allowing internal moisture to escape while effectively blocking external rain and wind. It is an essential piece of equipment for professionals who require a high-performance outer layer that does not compromise on mobility or professional appearance.
Key Features
- H2XTREME Technology: Provides a robust waterproof and breathable outer shell, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during physical activity in wet environments.
- Adjustable Full Coverage Hood: Offers comprehensive protection against the elements with a customisable fit to maintain visibility and comfort.
- Nylon Taffeta Lining: An ultra-lightweight lining that provides a smooth interior finish, allowing the jacket to sit comfortably over other layers.
- Articulated Elbows: Designed to mirror the natural movement of the arms, providing greater freedom of motion and reducing fabric strain.
- PFC-Free Water-Repellent Finish: Enhances the shell’s ability to shed water without the use of harmful chemicals, aligning with modern environmental standards.
Design & Performance
The Nostromo thermal shell is constructed from 100% polyester mechanical stretch fabric. This choice of material ensures the garment remains flexible during work tasks, moving with the wearer rather than resisting them. The lightweight nature of the shell makes it particularly effective for high-intensity work where temperature regulation is critical, while the adjustable hem allows for a personalised fit that can trap heat or increase ventilation as required.
The technical design extends to the aesthetics, providing a sleek and modern profile that suits a variety of professional settings. The mechanical stretch fabric is also naturally resilient, helping the jacket maintain its shape and professional finish even after repeated use in demanding conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This technical shell is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, offering versatile options for branding your team. Embroidery is particularly effective for adding a sophisticated, professional touch with corporate logos or staff names, providing a durable finish that withstands the rigours of outdoor work.
For more prominent or complex designs, our high-quality printing process ensures a sharp and vibrant result that maintains the garment's technical look. All customisation is managed by our experienced in-house team in Telford, who have been providing expert branding services since 1976, ensuring your workwear meets the highest standards of precision.
Use Cases
The Nostromo thermal shell is ideal for site managers, engineers, and outdoor operatives who need reliable weather protection without the bulk of a traditional heavy jacket. Its lightweight profile also makes it a popular choice for corporate uniforms where a unified, professional appearance is required for client-facing roles or team events held outdoors.

Practical Advice
This shell features a regular fit designed for layering. We recommend checking the sizing guide, which ranges from Small to 2XL, to find your ideal fit. For maximum thermal efficiency in colder months, we suggest wearing this shell over a technical mid-layer or fleece, allowing the H2XTREME technology to manage moisture while your base layers provide insulation.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance waterproof and breathable qualities of the H2XTREME fabric, we recommend a cool wash at 30°C. Using a cool cycle helps to protect the technical membrane and ensures the mechanical stretch of the polyester remains intact over time.
It is important to avoid using bleach or strong chemical detergents, as these can strip the PFC-free water-repellent finish from the outer shell. Proper care will also help to preserve the integrity of your embroidered or printed branding, ensuring it remains sharp and professional for the duration of the garment's life.
