Its key benefit is offering comprehensive waterproofing and visibility for outdoor work or activities. A potential caveat is its focus on functional protection over fashion.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rain coat?
The primary purpose is to provide waterproof protection and high visibility for adults working or spending time outdoors in wet and potentially hazardous conditions.
How does the coat keep me dry?
It features a waterproof fabric with taped seams, a storm flap over the zipper, and a pack-away hood to prevent water penetration.
What does 'Hi-Vis' mean?
Hi-Vis stands for High Visibility. The coat is designed with bright colors and reflective tape to make the wearer easily seen by others, enhancing safety.
Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?
While the 100cm length offers some protection against the cold, it is primarily designed as a waterproof outer layer. For very cold conditions, layering warmer clothing underneath is recommended.
How should I clean the rain coat?
You can machine wash it at 40°C using liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleaching, dry cleaning, and ironing on high heat.
What does PFAS free mean for the fabric finish?
PFAS free means the fabric finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used for water repellency but can have environmental concerns. Texpel Splash Eco provides water resistance without these chemicals.
Can I adjust the fit of the coat?
Yes, the coat has a drawcord hood and hem, as well as inner elasticated cuffs, allowing you to adjust the fit for comfort and to keep out drafts.
What sizes are available?
This specific product guide is for the XXXXL size. The Portwest Hi-Vis Rain Coat is available in a range of sizes, including M, L, XL, 3XL, and 4XL, in both orange and yellow.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric finish (Texpel Splash Eco) is intact. Re-waterproofing may be necessary if the finish has worn off. Check that zippers and storm flaps are fully closed.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, gently press with a low-heat iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Extensive damage may require professional repair or replacement.
Breathability seems reduced.
Ensure the vented back yoke and eyelets are clear of any debris or blockages. Cleaning the garment according to care instructions can help restore breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the storm flap is not caught in the zipper.
