The Packable Insulated Jacket That Keeps Your Team Warm On-Site, On-Event, and On-the-Go — Without the Bulk

Every Operations Manager, Corporate Uniform Buyer, and Site Manager outfitting teams for outdoor or mixed indoor-outdoor environments faces the same problem: most insulated jackets are either too bulky to carry when not needed, not warm enough for genuine cold-weather conditions, or don't present professionally enough for a corporate or branded uniform program.

A jacket that stays in the ute because it's too cumbersome to carry — or that looks like casual outdoor gear rather than professional workwear — defeats the purpose of issuing it in the first place.

At Uniforms.com.au, we've been supplying Australian businesses with professional cold-weather workwear since 1999 — from corporate teams and government agencies to construction sites, outdoor event staff, and council personnel.

The Stormtech Basecamp Thermal Jacket (PFJ-4) is our answer: a polyfill-insulated, 600mm waterproof jacket rated for +10°C down to -10°C, with a STORMTECH Showerproof D/W/R nylon outer shell — engineered to deliver genuine cold-weather protection, and to compress into its own hand pocket when conditions improve.

Serious warmth. Professional presentation. Packable when you don't need it.

Our in-house embroidery means your logo is applied with precision — every unit, every time — without compromising the insulation or waterproof properties of the jacket.

Why Australian Organisations Choose the PFJ-4 Basecamp Thermal Jacket

Rated +10°C to -10°C — 100% Polyester Polyfill Insulation — Genuine Cold-Weather Protection, Not Just Light Chill Coverage
The polyfill insulation traps and retains body heat efficiently across a genuine cold-weather temperature range — from cool autumn mornings through to sub-zero winter conditions. This is not a fashion jacket with nominal insulation. It is engineered for environments where the temperature actually drops.

600mm Waterproof Rating + STORMTECH Showerproof D/W/R Nylon Shell — Reliable Protection Against Light Rain and Wind — Keeps Teams Dry in Outdoor Conditions
The 100% nylon outer shell with STORMTECH Durable Water Repellent treatment and 600mm waterproof rating provides reliable protection against light rain, wind, and moisture in outdoor environments — keeping workers and professionals dry and comfortable through site visits, outdoor events, and mixed indoor-outdoor work conditions.

Packable Into Its Own Hand Pocket — Compact Bundle for Storage and Transport — Always Available When Conditions Change
The entire jacket compresses into its own hand pocket, creating a compact bundle that fits in a bag, vehicle, or locker. For professionals who move between indoor and outdoor environments throughout the day, this is a practical advantage that a standard insulated jacket simply cannot offer — the jacket is always available when the temperature drops, without the burden of carrying it when it's not needed.

Quilted Body Construction + Internal Stormflap + Chin Saver — Even Warmth Distribution With No Cold Spots — Professional Finish Suited to Corporate and Workwear Applications
The quilted body distributes insulation evenly for consistent warmth without cold spots. The internal full-length stormflap behind the zip provides an additional barrier against wind and moisture penetration. The chin saver at the top of the zip protects against zip abrasion during extended wear — details that distinguish a professional workwear jacket from a basic outdoor layer.

Embroidery Access Point + Set-In Sleeves + Pairs With PFJ-4W Ladies Version — Decoration-Ready Without Compromising Performance — A Complete Mixed-Gender Team Uniform Solution
The dedicated embroidery access point allows logo decoration without compromising insulation or waterproof properties. Set-in sleeves provide a clean, tailored fit suited to corporate and workwear applications. The PFJ-4 pairs directly with the PFJ-4W Ladies Basecamp Thermal Jacket — same specs, same colourways, same design language — for a cohesive mixed-gender team uniform in cold-weather conditions.

PFJ-4 Men's + PFJ-4W Ladies — The Complete Mixed-Gender Cold-Weather Uniform Solution

The PFJ-4 Basecamp Thermal Jacket and PFJ-4W Ladies Basecamp Thermal Jacket share the same specifications, colourways (Black and Navy), and design language — making them the natural pairing for any organisation that needs a cohesive, professional cold-weather uniform across a mixed-gender team.

Both jackets are rated for the same temperature range, use the same polyfill insulation and D/W/R nylon shell, and feature the same packability, stormflap, and embroidery access point — ensuring every team member, regardless of gender, presents a consistent, unified appearance in cold-weather conditions.

Order both together for a complete mixed-gender cold-weather uniform solution. Contact our team for combined bulk pricing across both styles.

Professional Buyer's Guide

Temperature Performance: Rated for +10°C to -10°C, the PFJ-4 is suited to cold mornings, winter site conditions, outdoor events, and environments where temperatures drop significantly. The polyfill insulation maintains warmth even when compressed for packing — it recovers its loft and thermal performance when unpacked.

Waterproofing: The 600mm waterproof rating and STORMTECH Showerproof D/W/R treatment provide reliable protection against light rain and moisture. DWR causes water to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking in. For sustained heavy rain, a higher waterproof rating jacket would be recommended — the PFJ-4 is optimised for light to moderate outdoor exposure.

Breathability: Rated at 1,000g/m², the jacket allows moisture vapour to escape during active use, reducing the build-up of internal condensation during moderate activity. This makes it suitable for professionals who are active outdoors rather than stationary in extreme cold.

Branding: The dedicated embroidery access point allows logo decoration without compromising the insulation or waterproof properties of the jacket. Our in-house embroidery team applies company logos, department identifiers, and employee names with precision — backed by 25+ years of experience branding Australian workwear jackets.

Sizing for Teams: Available in sizes S through to 5XL across both Black and Navy colourways, the PFJ-4 accommodates a wide range of body types. Our team can assist with bulk size breakdowns for team orders. We recommend using our size guide and, where needed, ordering a sample set of sizes before committing to a full run.

Account Terms: Established businesses can apply for 30-Day Accounts, making it straightforward to manage uniform procurement within your existing accounts payable workflow. Contact our team to discuss eligibility.

Real-World Use Case

Picture a Queensland-based civil construction company with 85 workers across site supervision, project management, and client-facing roles — regularly working outdoors through the winter months in south-east Queensland, where early mornings on site can drop to near-zero and conditions can change rapidly throughout the day.

Their previous cold-weather layer had been a standard hi-vis fleece: adequate for mild conditions, but not warm enough for genuine winter mornings, not water-repellent, and not suitable for client-facing roles where professional presentation matters.

They ordered the PFJ-4 Basecamp Thermal Jacket through Uniforms.com.au in Black — suitable for both site and client-facing environments — with the company logo embroidered on the left chest. Female site supervisors and project managers received the PFJ-4W Ladies Basecamp Thermal Jacket in the same colourway, creating a cohesive mixed-gender cold-weather uniform across the entire team.

Our in-house embroidery team turned the order around efficiently — every jacket branded consistently, with zero variation across the run.

The result: a cold-weather layer that workers actually carry and use — because it packs into a pocket and is always available when the temperature drops on site — and a professional presentation that works equally well on the tools and in the client meeting room.

That's the Uniforms.com.au difference — and it's what 25+ years of equipping Australian professional teams looks like in practice.

CEO FAQ — Answers for Corporate and Site Uniform Buyers

Q: What does packable into its own pocket actually mean in practice?

A: The entire PFJ-4 jacket compresses into its own hand pocket, creating a compact bundle roughly the size of a large water bottle. This means your team members can carry it in a bag, store it in a vehicle, or keep it in a locker — and have it available immediately when they move outdoors or when the temperature drops on site. It eliminates the common problem of workers leaving their jacket behind because it's too bulky to carry between environments.

Q: What is the difference between the 600mm waterproof rating and the D/W/R treatment?

A: The 600mm waterproof rating refers to the fabric's resistance to water penetration under pressure — it provides reliable protection against light rain and moisture. The STORMTECH Showerproof D/W/R (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is a surface coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead and roll off rather than soaking in. Together, they provide reliable protection for light to moderate outdoor exposure. For sustained heavy rain, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be recommended.

Q: Does the polyfill insulation lose its warmth when compressed for packing?

A: No. The 100% polyester polyfill insulation is specifically selected for its ability to compress for packing and then recover its loft and thermal performance when unpacked. The jacket will be as warm after unpacking as it was before compression.

Q: Can the jacket be embroidered with our company logo?

A: Yes. The PFJ-4 features a dedicated embroidery access point that allows logo decoration without compromising the insulation or waterproof properties of the jacket. Our in-house embroidery team applies logos, department identifiers, and employee names with precision — backed by 25+ years of experience branding Australian workwear jackets.

Q: Does the PFJ-4 pair with a ladies version for mixed-gender teams?

A: Yes. The PFJ-4 pairs directly with the PFJ-4W Ladies Basecamp Thermal Jacket — same specifications, same colourways (Black and Navy), and same design language. This makes them the natural combination for any organisation that needs a cohesive, professional cold-weather uniform across a mixed-gender team. Contact our team for combined bulk pricing across both styles.

Q: Do you offer bulk discounts for team orders?

A: Yes. The more you buy, the greater the discount. Whether you're ordering for a team of 10 or a workforce of 500, your per-unit cost decreases as your order volume increases. Contact our team for a tailored quote — and ask about combined pricing if you're ordering PFJ-4 and PFJ-4W together.

Q: Can I order a sample before committing to a full team order?

A: Yes. We have a structured Samples Ordering Process in place. Please see the Samples section below for full details on how to request a sample before placing your bulk order.
