How many pockets does the jacket have?

The Portwest KX3 Parka Jacket features a total of 10 pockets for ample storage.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

Yes, the jacket features quilt lining and an Insulatex lining designed to trap heat fast, keeping the wearer warm and protected. For extreme cold, layering underneath is recommended.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

Follow the recommended washcare instructions: machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and do not iron or dry clean. Proper care helps maintain the fabric's water-repellent properties.

Is this jacket suitable for workwear?

Yes, it is designed with durability, protection, and functionality in mind, featuring ample storage and weather resistance, making it ideal for various work environments.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester TPU (175g), with a 100% Polyester Taffeta lining (52g). The body filling is 100% Polyester (140g) and sleeves are 100% Polyester (60g).

Does the jacket have reflective elements?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective trim for increased visibility and safety in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel waterproof

Ensure all seams are taped and intact. Check that the main zipper and pocket zippers are fully closed. For persistent issues, the fabric's water-repellent finish may need reapplication after extensive wear and washing, following manufacturer guidelines.

Jacket is too tight or too loose

Adjust the drawcord at the hem and the adjustable waist for a snugger fit. For significant fit issues, consider if a different size might be more appropriate, as this jacket is designed for layering.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.

Jacket feels cold despite insulation

Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and cuffs are secured to prevent drafts. The internal Insulatex lining is designed to trap heat, but may require an additional base layer in extreme cold for maximum thermal performance.
