Portwest Winter Jacket - Orange - XL

FR stands for Flame Resistant, indicating that the material is designed to resist ignition and will self-extinguish once the ignition source is removed.

This jacket provides protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, as well as Class 2 welding protection.

Yes, the flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, provided the care instructions are followed correctly.

While it offers protection, this jacket is specifically designed for demanding industrial environments. It may be excessively warm and protective for casual use.

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean. Follow the specific care label instructions.

The anti-static property helps to prevent the buildup of static electricity, which is crucial in environments where flammable materials or gases might be present.

The shell fabric has a 50+ UPF rating, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays.

Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed. Check that the inner waist adjustment is tightened. Consider layering appropriately underneath the jacket.

Avoid harsh washing or excessive heat during drying. If damage is significant, the reflective properties may be compromised. Contact customer support if the damage occurred prematurely.

Gently try to move the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

This can be a normal characteristic of FR treated fabrics. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying procedures. Avoid high heat drying which can exacerbate stiffness.
