Full details

The Portwest FR59 FR Anti-Static Winter Jacket is designed for men working in demanding environments like the offshore industry. Its primary benefit is offering superior protection against heat and flame hazards combined with exceptional warmth due to its FR cotton lining and thick wadding insulation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing adequate warmth

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood (if attached) is secured. Check if the inner waist adjustment is tightened for a snug fit. For optimal warmth, layer appropriately underneath.

Reflective tape peeling or damaged

Avoid harsh washing or drying methods. If damage is significant, the tape may need professional replacement to maintain visibility standards. Consult care instructions carefully.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Garment lost flame-resistant properties after washing

Ensure only mild detergents were used and fabric softeners or bleach were avoided. Follow the specific care instructions for FR garments strictly. Repeated improper washing can degrade FR treatments.
