The Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking enhanced protection and visibility in various weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing warmth, comfort, and water repellency with integrated safety features. A potential caveat is that its water resistance is described as 'extremely water resistant' rather than fully waterproof. Key features include breathable fabric, a micro polar fleece lining, multiple secure pockets, and certified high-visibility reflective tape.

It means the jacket is designed to repel water effectively, causing it to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
The jacket features four pockets in total: a zipped chest pocket, two side zip pockets, and an internal pocket. All zipped pockets offer secure storage for your belongings.
It is particularly suited for industries requiring high visibility, such as construction, road work, and logistics. The orange variant is certified for the rail industry (RIS 3279-TOM). Always check specific industry safety requirements.
Wash on a very mild process at a maximum of 30°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Drip line dry is recommended. Follow these instructions to preserve the fabric's water repellency and reflective properties.
A 40+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of harmful UV radiation, offering significant protection against sun exposure.
Yes, the reflective tape is designed to withstand washing. However, the certification (EN ISO 20471) is valid for up to 50 washes when the garment is cared for according to the provided instructions.
The shell fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane (160g), laminated to 100% Polyester Micro Polar Fleece (150g).
Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed. Washing at higher temperatures or using harsh detergents can degrade reflective properties. Consider replacing if reflectivity is significantly diminished beyond certification standards.
This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, consider a fully waterproof garment. Check that the water-repellent finish has not been compromised by improper washing or chemical exposure.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant (ensure it's safe for fabrics and check product care labels) on the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: While designed primarily for male wearers, its functionality is universal. It is certified for specific safety standards (EN ISO 20471, RIS 3279-TOM for orange variant), making it suitable for industries requiring high-visibility workwear.
