Product Information
Full details
The Portwest WX3 Winter Jacket is designed for adult males needing robust protection against cold and wet weather. Its key benefit is superior waterproof protection and thermal insulation, suitable for demanding outdoor conditions. A potential caveat is that its primary focus on heavy-duty protection might make it warmer than desired for mild conditions. This jacket features a durable 100% Nylon Taslan shell with taped seams for waterproofing, a warm polyester lining and filling, reflective trim for visibility, a 2-way zip, an adjustable zip-off hood, and multiple storage pockets.

Troubleshooting
Jacket is not completely waterproof.
Ensure all seams are intact and zippers are fully closed. Check the integrity of the TPU coating. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean any debris from the zipper track.
Reduced warmth after washing.
Ensure the jacket is tumble dried on a low heat setting to help restore loft to the filling. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair insulation.
Reflective trim is peeling.
Avoid harsh detergents and high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, it may not affect the jacket's core functionality, but significant damage warrants contacting customer service.
