Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Kx3 Baffle Knit Jacket in Grey (Size S) is designed for adults seeking a blend of cutting-edge style and high-performance comfort. Its key benefit is the body-mapped design, which expertly balances insulation with freedom of movement, making it ideal for active work or leisure. A potential caveat is its specific sizing; always consult the size guide before purchasing to ensure the perfect fit. This jacket combines a durable nylon outer with lightweight Insulatex thermal insulation and a cosy knit sleeve construction for optimal warmth, all while offering secure storage with its multiple zipped pockets and a hood for added protection.

FAQs

What is Insulatex lining?

Insulatex is a lightweight thermal insulation lining used in the jacket to provide warmth without excessive bulk, ensuring comfort in cooler conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the 'Sizing to Fit' chart provided with the product details. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the listed sizes (e.g., S 36/38").

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it at a maximum temperature of 30°C on a mild process. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What does 'body-mapped design' mean?

It means the jacket's insulation and materials are strategically placed in different areas to balance warmth where you need it most and allow freedom of movement in active zones.

Are the coloured zip pullers permanent?

The interchangeable zip pullers are designed to be easily swapped out, allowing you to change the look of your jacket. They are not permanently attached.

How effective is the water resistance?

The jacket features Texpel™ Splash Eco, which makes water bead away from the fabric surface. It is suitable for light rain and splashes but is not designed for heavy downpours.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket provides good warmth for moderate cold. For extremely cold conditions, it is best worn as part of a layering system with warmer insulating layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not warm enough

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. This jacket is designed for moderate warmth; for extreme cold, consider layering additional garments underneath.

Water repellency seems reduced

The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish may degrade over time. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing. Consider a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for performance fabrics if the issue persists after cleaning.

Zip puller came off

Align the new zip puller with the front zipper and carefully slide it onto the zipper teeth. Ensure it is securely attached before use.

Fabric pilling or snagging

While durable, the knit fabric can be susceptible to snags. Avoid contact with rough surfaces. If minor pilling occurs, it can often be carefully removed with a fabric shaver.
