Product Information

Full details

The Portwest FR Anti-Static Winter Jacket is designed for adult males working in demanding offshore environments. Its key benefit is providing exceptional warmth and protection against flame, heat, and static, while a caveat is that it is specifically tailored for industrial safety standards rather than general outdoor use. This jacket features a Bizflame Plus outer shell, thick wadding insulation, and an FR cotton lining for superior thermal comfort. Key features include high visibility reflective tape, triple-stitched seams, a concealed 2-way brass zip, multiple pockets, and an adjustable inner waist for a secure fit, along with a detachable hood.

FAQs

What specific safety standards does this jacket meet?

The jacket meets EN ISO 11612 (protection against heat and flame), EN 1149-5 (anti-static properties), EN 342 (protection against cold), and EN ISO 11611 (protection during welding and allied processes, Class 2).

Is this jacket suitable for general winter wear?

While it offers excellent warmth, it is specifically engineered for industrial safety with flame and anti-static protection. For general winter wear without these specific hazards, other jackets might be more suitable and breathable.

How do I ensure the flame resistance lasts?

Follow the strict care instructions provided. Washing with liquid detergent at 40°C and avoiding bleach and dry cleaning are crucial for maintaining the flame-resistant properties for the life of the garment.

What is the material composition of the jacket?

The shell fabric is Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre), the lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant Lining, and the filling is 100% Polyester Flame Resistant Filling.

Can I wear a base layer under this jacket?

Yes, wearing appropriate base layers is recommended for added warmth in cold conditions. Ensure base layers are also made of suitable materials that do not compromise the FR properties of the jacket.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III indicates that the garment falls into the highest category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for specific risks, requiring rigorous testing and certification.

How do I clean the reflective tape?

Wash the garment inside out and avoid direct high heat when ironing. High-pressure washing or aggressive cleaning of the tape itself can damage it.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too warm indoors

The jacket is designed for extreme cold and hazardous environments. Consider removing it when indoors or in milder temperatures. The detachable hood can also be removed for ventilation.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Follow care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing and ironing temperatures. Avoid direct high heat on the tape. If damage occurs, the protective integrity of the tape may be compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a light application of wax or graphite on the teeth might help, but avoid lubricants that could affect fabric properties.

Stitching is coming undone

Contact the retailer or manufacturer if within the warranty period. Minor fraying can sometimes be carefully trimmed, but significant seam failure may compromise safety.
