Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece is designed for adults working in environments requiring high visibility and protection from the elements. Its primary benefit is enhanced safety through Class 3 high-visibility compliance and reflective tape, coupled with the warmth and durability of anti-pill fleece. A potential caveat is that the generous fit may require checking size charts for a precise fit. Key features include a durable, anti-pill fleece fabric, excellent UV protection, multiple pockets, and a front zip for easy wear. It also offers contrast panels for dirt protection and complies with rail industry standards.

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 3 is the highest safety classification for high-visibility clothing. It indicates that the garment has the largest area of fluorescent and retroreflective material, providing the greatest visibility for the wearer.

Is this fleece suitable for all weather conditions?

This fleece provides warmth and wind resistance. It is rated EN 14058 Class 2 for protection against cool environments. For heavy rain, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended. It is not designed as a primary insulation layer for extreme cold.

How do I clean the fleece to maintain its high-visibility properties?

Machine wash warm (40°C) on a mild process, do not bleach, and tumble dry low. Avoid dry cleaning and ironing, as these can damage the reflective tape and fabric properties. Do not use fabric softener.

What is the 'anti-pill' finish?

The anti-pill finish is a treatment applied to the fleece fabric that prevents small balls of fiber (pills) from forming on the surface during washing and wear. This keeps the garment looking newer for longer and maintains its texture.

Does the orange color comply with rail industry standards?

Yes, the orange color variant of this fleece complies with RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1, which is a specific standard required for personnel working in the UK rail industry.

Can the reflective tape be repaired if damaged?

The reflective tape is typically bonded to the fabric. Minor wear may occur over time with heavy use. If severely damaged, it is not usually repairable and may require replacement of the garment for full compliance.

What are contrast panels for?

The navy contrast panels are strategically placed on lower areas of the garment (like the hem and cuffs) which are most likely to get dirty. This helps to mask dirt and stains, keeping the fleece looking cleaner between washes.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, particularly regarding detergent type and avoiding fabric softeners which can affect reflective properties.

Fleece pilling or bobbling

The garment features an anti-pill finish. If significant pilling occurs, check that the care instructions (especially regarding washing and drying) have been adhered to. Avoid abrasive contact.

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Avoid high heat when drying and do not iron the reflective tape. Ensure zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.

Incorrect sizing

Consult the Portwest size chart before purchasing. The fit is generally relaxed; if a tighter fit is desired, consider sizing down. Exchange for a different size if available.
