Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket - Orange - L

This jacket is extremely water-repellent due to its Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish. Water beads and rolls off the surface. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall.

The Bio Motion tape pattern is designed to improve the recognition of the human shape at a distance, particularly in low-light conditions, enhancing wearer visibility and safety.

While the fabric is breathable, the micro polar fleece lining provides warmth. This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather conditions. For very hot weather, a lighter, less insulated garment would be more appropriate.

The jacket features a total of 4 external pockets (1 zipped chest pocket, 2 side zip pockets) and 2 internal pockets (1 general internal pocket and 1 specifically for a phone).

Yes, it is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards for high-visibility clothing and complies with RIS 3279-TOM for the rail industry (orange only).

The fabric is rated UPF 40+, meaning it blocks approximately 98% of harmful UV radiation.

The shell fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, laminated to a 100% Polyester Micro Fleece lining, totaling 310g.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off after multiple washes. Re-apply a PFAS-free water repellent treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron the reflective tape. If damage is significant, the visibility and safety rating may be compromised.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to dry and then lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Ensure the inner fleece lining is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check if the outer fabric has been treated with a product that may have blocked the breathable membrane. Follow the recommended washing instructions.
