The Portwest DX474 DX4 Water Resistant Softshell Work Jacket in Grey (XXL) is designed for adult males seeking a durable, comfortable, and weather-resistant outer layer for work. Its key benefit is superior protection against wind and water with excellent breathability. A potential caveat for some users might be the grown-on hood, which offers convenience but may not be removable.

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
The shell fabric is 92% Polyester, 8% Elastane, laminated to 100% Polyester Micro Polar Fleece. The lining is 100% Polyester Mesh.
Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Fasten zips before washing and wash with similar colors.
The jacket is described as water-resistant, offering protection against light rain and moisture, combined with windproof capabilities.
It features a zipped chest pocket and two side zip pockets for secure storage.
The jacket provides wind and water resistance, making it suitable for layering. For very cold conditions, additional insulating layers underneath would be recommended.
Yes, the jacket includes reflective piping to increase visibility in low-light conditions.
This is normal for new ripstop fabric. After a few washes and wears, the fabric will become more pliable and comfortable.
Ensure the jacket is cleaned according to care instructions and has not been exposed to harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade water repellency. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance significantly diminishes over time.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it persists, check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Mild lubrication with a graphite pencil on the teeth can sometimes help.
Setup:
This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility:
