Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Classic Rain Jacket in Navy (Size L) is designed for adults needing reliable protection against foul weather. Its key benefit is offering exceptional value with practical, durable, and water-resistant features. A potential caveat is that while highly water-resistant, it may not be suitable for extreme submersion. This jacket is made from PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco fabric and features taped seams for excellent waterproofing, two secure pockets, and a pack-away hood. It also offers UV protection and enhanced breathability through a vented back yoke and eyelets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket completely waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket is described as 'extremely water resistant' with taped seams to prevent water penetration. While suitable for rain, it is not designed for prolonged submersion.

What does 'PFAS free Texpel Splash Eco' mean?

PFAS-free means the fabric treatment does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often found in water-repellent finishes but are being phased out due to environmental concerns. Texpel Splash Eco is the specific environmentally friendlier finish used.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C on a normal cycle. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

What is the UPF rating for?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 40+ UPF rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation.

Can I wear this over other clothing?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as outerwear and can easily fit over regular clothing or work uniforms. Its relaxed fit aids in layering.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is 'pack away', meaning it can be neatly folded and stored within the collar of the jacket when not needed.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific guide is for the Navy, Large size. The Portwest Classic Rain Jacket is available in a wide range of colors and sizes, including Black, Orange, Olive Green, and Yellow, in various adult sizes.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through seams.

Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions. Over time, the seam tape may degrade; if significant leakage occurs, the jacket may need replacement.

The 'water beads away' effect is reduced.

This indicates the Texpel Splash Eco finish may be wearing off. Follow the washing instructions carefully. Applying a suitable fabric re-proofer after washing may help restore water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less breathable.

Check that the vented back yoke and eyelets are not blocked by dirt or debris. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers; heavy undergarments can reduce the effectiveness of the venting.
