Product Information

Full details

This Portwest FR50 coverall is designed for male adults working in demanding environments like the offshore industry. Its key benefit is providing robust protection against flame, radiant and convective heat, and molten metal splash, while also being anti-static. A potential caveat is that it is a specialized garment, so regular cleaning is essential to maintain its protective properties. Key features include triple-stitched seams, high-visibility reflective tape, concealed brass zips, patented knee pad pockets, and radio loops.

Troubleshooting

Flame resistance effectiveness decreases

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Follow the recommended washing temperature and avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing. Professional industrial laundering is advised for best results.

Zip becomes stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the brass zip gently with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate lightly with a wax-based product if necessary, ensuring no residue remains on the fabric.
