Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Iona Lite Traffic Jacket is designed for adults requiring enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Its key benefit is superior protection against cold and water, ensuring comfort and safety in adverse weather. A potential consideration is its specific focus on visibility, meaning it may not be suitable for extreme, non-work-related activities. This jacket features waterproof construction with taped seams, a PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco water-resistant finish, and is certified for protection against cold up to -36°C.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is certified EN342 for protection against cold up to -36°C, making it suitable for significantly cold conditions.

Can I fit a standard radio in the chest pocket?
Yes, the radio pocket is specifically designed to fit all sizes of radio for easy and secure access.
What does 'PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco' mean?
It means the water-resistant finish is environmentally friendly, free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and effectively repels water.
What is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from abrasion-resistant oxford polyester.
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is fully waterproof due to taped seams, and the fabric finish provides extreme water resistance.
What sizes are available?
This specific guide refers to the XXXXL size. The Portwest Iona Lite Jacket is available in a range of sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL, in various colors.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists after washing according to instructions, the taped seams may be compromised. Check for damage and consider seam sealing if appropriate, or replacement if damage is extensive.
Reduced water repellency
The Texpel Splash Eco finish may wear off over time with washing. Reapply a suitable water-repellent spray (specifically designed for outdoor/technical fabrics) after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the inner ribbed cuffs are snug against the wrists and the drawcord hem is tightened to prevent cold air from entering. Check that the jacket is worn with appropriate base layers for insulation.
