Product Overview
The Stormtech Women's Basecamp thermal jacket is a sophisticated piece of technical outerwear designed to provide significant warmth without the unnecessary bulk associated with traditional winter coats. Engineered for those who need to remain mobile while facing the elements, this jacket balances a professional feminine silhouette with high-performance insulation. Its design prioritises heat retention through advanced thermal technology, making it an essential layer for outdoor work environments or site visits during the colder months.
Key Features
- STORMTECH Thermal Shell Insulation: This high-grade insulation traps heat efficiently, ensuring you remain warm even when the temperature drops significantly.
- D/W/R Water-Repellent Outer Shell: The durable water-repellent finish allows moisture to bead off the surface, providing essential protection during light rain or snow.
- Packable Design: The ability to pack the jacket into its own pocket makes it a versatile choice for professionals who need to manage changing weather conditions throughout the day.
- Internal Full-Length Storm Flap: This feature prevents wind from penetrating the zip, maintaining a stable internal temperature in gusty conditions.
- Zipped Handwarmer Pockets: Secure storage for essentials that also provides a shielded space to keep hands warm during stationary tasks.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% nylon, the Basecamp jacket is remarkably resilient despite its ultralight feel. The quilted body is not merely an aesthetic choice; the baffles are specifically engineered to stabilise the thermal fill. This prevents the insulation from shifting or settling, ensuring consistent warmth across the torso even during rigorous physical activity. The windproof nature of the outer shell further enhances its thermal efficiency by preventing cold air from stripping away body heat.
The addition of an adjustable hem and elasticised cuffs allows for a bespoke fit that seals out drafts. For comfort, the integrated chin saver prevents the zip from irritating the skin, a small but vital detail for long shifts in the cold. This is a well-engineered garment that focuses on fluid movement and reliable protection.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Stormtech Basecamp jacket is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your logo or staff names onto the chest, providing a textured, premium look that withstands regular laundering and heavy use.
Alternatively, if you require larger, high-impact branding across the back, our advanced printing techniques are ideal. This allows for bold designs that remain crisp and clear. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these customisation processes in-house, ensuring that your company identity is represented with the highest level of precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor event staff who require a professional appearance while braving the elements. Its packable nature also makes it a sensible choice for service engineers who frequently move between a vehicle and outdoor locations. It provides the necessary warmth for cold-weather deployments while remaining lightweight enough to prevent overheating during active tasks.

Practical Advice
The Basecamp jacket is designed with a feminine fit in mind. We recommend reviewing the sizing guide to ensure the best fit, particularly if you plan on wearing the jacket over thicker uniform layers. Because it is a streamlined thermal piece, it works exceptionally well as a standalone outer layer in crisp, dry cold, or as a mid-layer under a heavy waterproof parka in extreme conditions.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of your jacket is essential for long-term performance. We recommend a cold, gentle machine wash with similar colours. Using cold water protects the nylon fibres and the D/W/R coating from heat-related degradation, ensuring the jacket remains water-repellent for as long as possible.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs. Bleach will compromise the integrity of the fabric and can cause significant damage to the thermal insulation and any custom branding. For drying, the jacket should be hung to dry naturally. This prevents the internal polyfill from being damaged by the high temperatures of a tumble dryer.
Do not iron any decorations, whether they are printed or embroidered. High heat from an iron can melt print transfers or distort the tension of embroidery threads. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can strip the water-repellent finish and damage the synthetic insulation.
