It offers protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, arc flashes (IEC 61482-2 Class 1), chemical splashes (EN 13034 Type PB [6]), and electrostatic discharge (EN 1149 -5). It is also rated 40+ UPF for UV protection.
The product information specifies industrial laundry wash at 75°C and tunnel dry at 155°C. While it doesn't explicitly forbid specific detergents, it is recommended to use detergents suitable for industrial workwear and flame-resistant fabrics. Avoid bleach.

CE-CAT III indicates that the garment falls into the highest category of PPE, designed for high-risk activities where severe injury or death could occur. It signifies a rigorous certification process for protection against significant hazards.
The garment provides protection against various heat hazards, including radiant, convective, and contact heat, with specific ratings like EN ISO 11612. However, for extreme immersion in molten metal or exceptionally high temperatures beyond the specified ratings, additional specialized gear might be necessary.
Sizing is based on standard men's waist measurements (e.g., UK 30, 32). It's recommended to consult a sizing chart provided by Portwest or the retailer to ensure the correct fit, considering it's worn over other clothing.
The carbon fiber is typically incorporated to provide anti-static properties, helping to dissipate electrical charges and meet standards like EN 1149-5, which is crucial in environments where static discharge could be a hazard.
Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to the strict temperature guidelines (75°C wash, 155°C tunnel dry). Avoid using bleach or improper dry cleaning methods.
Adjust the elasticated shoulder straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure knee pads are correctly inserted if used, as this can affect fit.
While the fabric is designed for color fastness, excessive harsh washing or incorrect drying temperatures can accelerate wear. Adhere strictly to industrial laundry recommendations. Check the fabric composition for resistance to specific chemicals if relevant to your work environment.
Ensure knee pads are the correct size and type for the two-tier pockets. Check for any obstructions or damage to the pockets.
