Full details
The Portwest Wx3 Winter Jacket is designed for adult males needing reliable protection against cold and wet conditions. Its key benefit is excellent waterproof protection combined with thermal insulation, keeping you warm and dry.

This jacket offers a contemporary design with essential features for challenging weather.

Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and seams are intact. Check the EN 343 rating for the expected level of protection. Prolonged exposure to heavy downpours might exceed the jacket's rating.
Jacket feels too warm indoors
Utilize the 2-way zip and adjustable hood/hem to ventilate. Consider removing the hood if not needed. The jacket is designed for thermal insulation in cold conditions.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper track. For 2-way zippers, ensure the bottom sliders are correctly aligned before zipping up.
Reflective trim is peeling
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If peeling is minor, a suitable fabric adhesive might be used cautiously. Note that excessive wear and tear can affect trim durability.
