Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Hi-Vis 2-In-1 Bomber Jacket is designed for adult males working in environments where high visibility and protection from the elements are crucial. Its primary benefit is its extreme versatility, offering multiple wearing options to adapt to changing weather conditions. A potential caveat is that its focus on visibility and protection might lead to a less fashion-forward aesthetic for casual wear.

FAQs

How do I convert the jacket to a gilet?

Locate the zippers at the shoulder/armhole area. Carefully unzip each sleeve to detach it from the main body of the jacket.

What does '2-in-1' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket offers two distinct wearing options: a full-sleeved jacket and, by removing the sleeves, a high-visibility gilet.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the quilt lining and padding provide warmth, and it meets EN 342 standards for protection against cold. For extreme cold, layering is recommended.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 15,000mm, with taped seams to prevent water penetration.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This certification indicates that the garment meets the highest standard for high-visibility clothing, ensuring maximum visibility for the wearer.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is designed to be concealed and packed away, but it is not detachable from the jacket itself.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Re-waterproof the fabric using a suitable spray if necessary. Check the PU coating for wear.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If damage is minor, professional repair might be possible. For significant damage, consider replacing the garment to maintain safety standards.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Detachable sleeves are hard to reattach

Ensure the zipper channels on both the sleeve and jacket body are clean and free of debris. Align the zippers carefully before attempting to zip them together.

  • Multiple pockets offer practical storage solutions.

Cons

  • May be perceived as less stylish for non-work environments.
