Full details
This Portwest WX2 Eco Fleece Jacket in Blue, XXXL size, is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable, functional, and eco-conscious outerwear option. Its key benefit lies in the innovative stretch panelling and durable recycled fleece, offering excellent ease of movement for various activities.

FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester fleece with an anti-pill finish.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Portwest WX2 Eco Fleece Jacket is not waterproof. It offers insulation and some resistance to light moisture but is best paired with a waterproof outer layer for rain.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features a total of five pockets: one zipped chest pocket, two side zip pockets, and two internal pockets.
What does 'GRS certified' mean?
GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It ensures that the recycled material used in the jacket has been verified for its recycled content and that it is produced under responsible social and environmental practices.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
The fleece provides good warmth for moderate to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer this jacket over other warm clothing and under a heavy, insulated, or waterproof outer shell.
How should I clean the jacket to preserve its anti-pill properties?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, as these can degrade the fabric and its anti-pill treatment.
What are the benefits of the stretch panelling?
The stretch panelling enhances flexibility and freedom of movement, making the jacket more comfortable and functional for physical activities or work that requires bending, stretching, or reaching.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fleece material is pilling excessively.
While the jacket has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction can still cause pilling. Ensure you are following the care instructions, especially regarding washing cycles and avoiding harsh detergents. Gentle washing and air drying can help minimize this.
Fit is not as expected.
Refer to the Portwest sizing guide for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your body type. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable despite correct sizing, consider if the garment's intended fit (e.g., relaxed, regular) meets your personal preference.
