Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket - Orange - M

The primary purpose is to provide enhanced visibility and protection against the elements, such as wind and light rain, for wearers in outdoor or potentially hazardous environments.

No, the jacket has an extremely water-resistant fabric finish, meaning it repels water effectively but is not fully waterproof. It is suitable for light rain and showers.

This jacket meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards and AS 4602.1 Class D/NR, with specific compliance for orange color meeting RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1.

The jacket features a total of four pockets: two side zip pockets for secure storage, one zipped chest pocket, and one internal pocket for safe storage.

The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit with standard layering. While it is breathable, wearing very thick sweaters may restrict movement. It is best paired with thinner layers for optimal comfort and performance.

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and dry cleaning. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.

This particular model, the Classic Softshell Jacket, does not come with an integrated hood. It is designed as a stand-collar jacket.

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Do not use bleach or dry cleaning. If damage is significant, consider replacing the garment for safety compliance.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impact water repellency. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Check the size guide to ensure you have selected the correct size. This jacket is designed for a standard fit; consider layering with lighter base layers rather than thick ones. For more room, consider sizing up.
