Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece - Yellow - XXXL

This standard classifies high-visibility clothing based on the amount of background and retro-reflective material. Class 3 is the highest level, offering the greatest visibility and is typically required for tasks with the highest risk.

The 300g fleece provides a good level of insulation for moderate cold. It is designed to be layered, so for very cold conditions, it can be worn over thermal base layers and under a waterproof outer shell.

The Orange/Navy variants of this fleece comply with RIS 3279-TOM, which is the specific standard for high-visibility clothing in the UK rail industry. Please ensure you select the correct colorway if this compliance is required.

To maintain the effectiveness of the reflective tape, avoid high-temperature washing and drying. Do not use bleach or iron directly on the tape. Gentle machine washing and air drying or low tumble drying are recommended.

An anti-pill finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that prevents the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, ensuring the garment looks newer for longer and maintains a smoother texture.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 50+ UPF rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.

This garment is a fleece, designed primarily for warmth and visibility. It offers some resistance to light wind but is not waterproof or windproof. For protection against rain and stronger winds, it should be worn as a mid-layer under appropriate outerwear.

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can damage reflective materials. Check if the fabric itself has worn significantly.

While the finish reduces pilling, excessive friction or improper washing can still cause minor issues. Ensure the garment is washed with similar items and avoid abrasive materials.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.

The sizing is designed to be generous for layering. Consider ordering a size down if a closer fit is desired, or use the relaxed fit for maximum comfort and movement.
