Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket is designed for male adults requiring enhanced visibility and protection in outdoor work environments. Its key benefit is the combination of water repellency, breathability, and high-visibility features, keeping wearers comfortable and safe. A potential caveat is that its primary protection is against water-repellency and wind, not heavy rain or extreme cold.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This jacket is extremely water-resistant, meaning it will bead water away from the surface and protect against light rain. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Portwest. This guide focuses on the XXXL size, but it's important to measure yourself to confirm the best fit for your body type to ensure comfort and mobility.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C (104°F). Always check the care label for specific instructions and avoid using fabric softeners.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This standard indicates the level of visibility provided by the garment. Class 3 is the highest level, meaning the garment offers the most conspicuousness and is suitable for situations with the highest risks.

What is the main purpose of the radio loop?

The radio loop is designed to securely hold a two-way radio or similar communication device, keeping it easily accessible while leaving your hands free.

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

Yes, the jacket features an internal pocket for safe and secure storage of personal items.

Is the orange color compliant with all safety standards?

This specific orange color is compliant with RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1. Always check the applicable standards for your specific work environment.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Re-apply a water-repellent finish suitable for outdoor fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before application. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.

Reflective tape is peeling

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. If peeling is minor, consider professional repair. Excessive heat from ironing or tumble drying can damage the tape.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels too warm

Wear lighter layers underneath. Open the zipper for ventilation. Consider a lighter-weight garment for warmer conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances visibility with reflective tape.
  • Provides good water repellency for light rain.
  • Breathable fabric keeps the wearer comfortable.
  • Offers secure storage with multiple zipped pockets.
  • Warm and comfortable due to fleece lining.

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy rain or extreme cold.
  • The XXXL size may not fit all body types perfectly.
  • Material may be too warm for strenuous activity in mild weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: While designed for general workwear, this jacket is particularly suited for roles requiring high visibility, such as construction, road work, security, and logistics. It is available in various sizes (including XXXL for this specific variant) and colors (though this guide focuses on Orange). Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It meets standards AS 4602.1 Class D/NR, RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1 (ORANGE ONLY), and EN ISO 20471 Class 3.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and visibility:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a maximum of 150°C (302°F).
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede breathability and water repellency. Follow care label instructions meticulously.
