Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket - Yellow - S

'Hi-Vis' stands for High Visibility. This means the garment is designed with bright colors and reflective materials to make the wearer more visible in hazardous conditions, especially in daylight and at night when illuminated by headlights.

The jacket has an 'extremely water-resistant' finish, meaning water beads away from the surface. It is suitable for light rain or showers. For prolonged heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would provide better protection.

The micropolar fleece lining provides insulation, trapping body heat to keep you warm and comfortable in cooler conditions. It is also soft and breathable.

This jacket has a total of 4 pockets. This includes 2 side zip pockets, 1 zipped chest pocket, and 1 internal pocket.

This jacket meets EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards. The orange variant also meets RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1.

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer and can accommodate other clothing underneath, such as a t-shirt or a thinner fleece, for added warmth.

The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing, as heat can help restore the finish. If issues persist, consider using a specialized fabric water-repellent spray suitable for technical outerwear.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can also try applying a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly. Always close zippers before washing to prevent damage.

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, avoid ironing directly on the tape. For significant damage, repair may not be feasible, and it could affect the garment's safety rating.
