FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this coverall?

The Portwest FR53 FR Anti-Static Winter Coverall is designed for individuals working in hazardous environments where protection against flame, heat, static electricity, and cold is required, such as the offshore industry.

How do I ensure the flame resistance lasts?

To maintain flame resistance, follow the care instructions precisely. Wash at 40°C with a mild process, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron at a medium temperature. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the protective properties.

Can I wear knee pads with this coverall?

Yes, the coverall features patented knee pad pockets with an innovative two-tier adjustable system designed to hold knee pads securely and comfortably in place.

What does 'Anti-Static' mean in relation to this garment?

The 'Anti-Static' property means the garment is designed to reduce the build-up of static electricity, helping to prevent sparks in environments where flammable materials or gases might be present. It meets the EN 1149 -5 standard.

Is the hood permanently attached?

No, the hood is detachable and attaches to the coverall via a brass zip, offering flexibility depending on weather conditions and work requirements.

What are the main fabrics used in its construction?

The shell fabric is Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre at 350g). The lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant Lining (170g), and the filling is 100% Polyester Flame Resistant Filling (150g).

What UV protection does this coverall offer?

The fabric is rated 50+ UPF, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays, providing significant protection against harmful solar radiation.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Portwest size chart and measuring accurately. If the fit is still problematic, consider if a different size or model is more appropriate for your needs.

Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid using high heat when washing or drying. Inspect the tape for any significant damage. Gentle ironing on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with the tape, may help secure minor peeling. If severely damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth can help ease movement.

Reduced warmth over time.

Ensure the garment is clean and that the filling has not become compacted. Follow washing instructions carefully, as improper care can affect insulation. Check for any tears or holes that might be letting in cold air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent protection against multiple heat hazards (flame, radiant, convective, contact).
  • Provides significant warmth due to the FR cotton lining and polyester filling.
  • High-visibility features enhance safety in low-light conditions.
  • Durable construction with triple-stitched seams ensures longevity.
  • Designed for comfort and practicality with features like knee pad pockets and radio loops.

Cons

  • The fit might require careful measurement due to the nature of coveralls.
  • Primarily designed for specific industrial hazards; may be overkill for general use.
  • Requires specific care to maintain flame-resistant properties.
  • The red color may not be suitable for all workplace visibility requirements.
  • The outer fabric is 350g, which might be heavier than some prefer for less extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This coverall requires no assembly. Ensure you select the correct size based on your measurements for optimal comfort and protection. The detachable hood can be attached or removed via its brass zip as needed.

Compatibility:

  • Knee Pads: The garment is designed to accommodate knee pads in its patented pockets. Ensure you use compatible knee pads suitable for protective workwear.
  • Standards: Meets multiple EN standards including EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2, B1, C1, E2, F1), EN 1149 -5, EN 342 (0.318 M².K/W, 2, X), and EN ISO 11611 (Class 2 A1+A2). Ensure these standards meet your specific workplace requirements.

Care Instructions:

  • Wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild process.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on a low setting.
  • Iron at a medium temperature.
  • Do not dry clean.
