Product Overview
The Stormtech Womens Boulder thermal shell is an expertly engineered garment designed to provide an effective barrier against the elements without the burden of excessive weight. This technical shell focuses on isolating the wearer from damp and cold conditions through the use of ultra-lightweight thermal insulation. It is a sophisticated piece of outerwear that balances high-performance protection with a refined silhouette, ensuring that professional standards are maintained even in challenging weather.
Key Features
- PFC-Free Water-Repellent Finish: The main body features a finish that repels moisture effectively while adhering to modern environmental standards by remaining free from perfluorinated chemicals.
- Internal Full-Length Storm Flap: This feature acts as a dedicated barrier against wind penetration, ensuring that heat remains trapped inside the garment where it belongs.
- Chin Saver: A small but vital design detail that prevents the zip from irritating the skin, providing enhanced comfort during long shifts in the cold.
- Adjustable Hem with Drawcord: Allows the wearer to customise the fit and cinch the garment tight to prevent cold draughts from entering from below.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Boulder thermal shell utilises a sophisticated blend of materials to maximise both durability and mobility. The primary shell and lining are crafted from high-grade nylon, providing a smooth finish and excellent resistance to the wind. Complementing this is a secondary shell fabric composed of polyester and spandex fleece. This interwovo spandex fleece provides the necessary stretch for an active workday, ensuring that movement is never restricted while performing technical tasks.
The thermal insulation is remarkably lightweight, providing a high warmth-to-weight ratio. This ensures that the wearer remains mobile and comfortable without the bulk typically associated with thermal outerwear. The diamond-baffled design is not merely aesthetic; it helps to keep the insulation evenly distributed, preventing cold spots and ensuring consistent thermal performance across the torso.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Boulder is an excellent canvas for corporate branding, supporting both print and embroidery applications. For a traditional and highly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly well-suited for company logos and staff names, offering a textured, premium finish that stands up well to regular wear.
Alternatively, if your branding requires high visibility or large-scale graphics, our printing processes provide a sharp and vibrant result. All customisation is managed by our dedicated in-house team in Telford. With MyWorkwear having been established in 1976, you can trust our decades of expertise to ensure your branding is applied with absolute precision.
Use Cases

It is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, or logistics supervisors who require a garment that looks professional while offering genuine protection against the British weather. Its lightweight nature also makes it an excellent choice for active commuting or outdoor corporate events.

Practical Advice
The Boulder thermal shell features a tailored fit designed specifically for the female form, with sizes ranging from Small to Extra Large. When selecting your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath; while the insulation is efficient, those working in sub-zero temperatures may wish to size up slightly to accommodate a thicker mid-layer or sweatshirt. The adjustable drawcord at the hem is particularly useful for fine-tuning the fit once your layers are in place.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the integrity of the water-repellent finish, it is essential to follow the specific care requirements for this garment. We recommend a domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and potentially degrade the thermal insulation, leading to a loss of shape and warmth over time.
Regular maintenance at the correct temperature also ensures that your embroidered or printed logos remain in peak condition. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents or bleaches, as these can strip the PFC-free water-repellent coating from the nylon shell, significantly reducing the jacket's effectiveness in wet weather.
