Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Portwest Hi-Vis Lite 3-in-1 Jacket arrives ready to wear. The primary setup involves deciding which configuration is best suited for the current weather conditions. The outer shell and the inner fleece jacket are typically connected via a zip system and potentially button loops at the cuffs and collar.
- Wearing Separately: To wear the outer shell only, ensure the inner fleece is detached by unzipping it from the outer jacket. If the inner fleece is to be worn alone, simply zip it up and wear it as a standard fleece jacket.
- Wearing Together: To combine the jackets, align the zippers of the inner fleece with the corresponding zippers inside the outer shell. Zip the inner fleece into the outer shell. Ensure any cuff or collar attachments are secured.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as a complete system. While the inner fleece can be worn separately, it is not designed to be compatible with other brand's outer shells or liners unless explicitly stated by Portwest.
Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's performance, waterproof properties, and visibility. Follow these guidelines strictly:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Use a suitable detergent; avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Drip line dry the garment. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Wash Limit: This garment has a maximum of 25 wash cycles. Exceeding this limit may compromise its water-resistant and reflective properties.
