Product Information
Full details
The Portwest KX3 Performance Fleece Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and durable work jacket. Its key benefit is the combination of soft knitted fleece with reinforced panels for enhanced longevity in high-wear areas. A potential caveat is its specific design, which may be less suitable for highly formal environments. This jacket offers a modern fit, a longer back length for better coverage, and multiple pockets for practical storage, making it ideal for both work and casual wear.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the reinforced panels?
The reinforced panels on the shoulders and back are designed to increase durability and resistance to wear in areas that experience the most stress and friction during work activities.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Portwest KX3 Performance Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and comfort in cool, dry conditions. For waterproofing, an outer shell layer would be necessary.
How many pockets does the jacket have, and are they secure?
The jacket features five pockets: one chest pocket with a zip closure, two side pockets with zip closures for secure storage, and internal pockets for additional safe storage.
Can this jacket be customized with a company logo?
Yes, the jacket is described as ideal for corporate wear and custom finishes, suggesting it is suitable for embroidery or printing of logos.
What is the weight of the fleece fabric?
The shell fabric is 310g (grams per square meter) of 100% Polyester Weft Knit with Brushed Back.
What is the 'dropped back hem' feature?
A dropped back hem means the rear of the jacket is cut slightly longer than the front, providing better coverage and protection when you bend over or reach up.
What are the washing instructions for this jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash warm (40°C / 104°F) with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Consult the Portwest sizing chart and compare measurements. Consider trying on different sizes if possible, or refer to the product siblings for alternative sizes.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth if it remains stiff.
Fleece material is pilling
Pilling is a natural characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact.
Seams appear to be fraying
Check if the care instructions have been followed. Minor fraying can sometimes be trimmed with scissors. If significant, contact the retailer for warranty information.
