Portwest Classic Rain Jacket - Blue - XL

'Extremely Water Resistant' means the fabric is treated to repel water, causing it to bead up and roll off the surface. It is suitable for light to moderate rain but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or submersion.

The jacket is designed for protection against rain. It is lightweight and may not provide significant insulation. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

Yes, the jacket is designed with breathability features like a vented back yoke and eyelets, making it suitable for moderate physical activity. However, for very intense activities, consider managing your internal layers to prevent overheating.

PFAS-free finishes are more environmentally friendly as they avoid the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which can be persistent in the environment. This aligns with eco-conscious manufacturing practices.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 40+ UPF rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing significant protection for your skin when worn.

Machine wash at 40°C with mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Regular cleaning helps maintain the Texpel finish.

Yes, the jacket features a REACH compliant PVC coating, which contributes to its water resistance and durability.

Ensure the fabric is clean. Over time, dirt and oils can reduce water repellency. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment if necessary, following product instructions. Check that taped seams are intact.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Clean any debris from the teeth. Apply a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Ensure the vented back yoke and eyelets are clear of obstruction. Wear lighter layers underneath to maximize the effectiveness of the ventilation system.

Ensure the hood is completely dry and neatly folded before attempting to roll it into its designated storage area. Some practice may be needed to get a neat fold.
