Product Information

Full details

The Portwest FR59 Anti-Static Winter Jacket is designed for adult males working in demanding offshore environments, providing superior warmth and protection against heat and flame hazards. While it offers excellent insulation and durability, its specialized nature means it's best suited for specific industrial applications rather than general outdoor wear. Key features include guaranteed flame resistance, protection against various heat types, anti-static properties, and high-visibility elements.

FAQs

What does 'Guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment' mean?

This means the flame-resistant properties are designed to last for the intended lifespan of the jacket, provided it is cared for according to the manufacturer's instructions. It does not mean it is indestructible; it will still wear out over time with normal use.

Is this jacket suitable for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, the FR59 is specifically designed with safety features for industrial and hazardous environments. For casual wear, other jackets might be more appropriate and cost-effective.

How do I know if the size is correct?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for detailed measurements. The jacket features an inner waist adjustment for a more customized fit.

Can I wear this jacket in very wet conditions?

The jacket provides protection against elements like wind and cold due to its wadding insulation. However, it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider layering with waterproof outerwear if necessary.

What is UPF rating?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 50+ UPF rating means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.

Are the reflective tapes effective at night?

Yes, the premium sew-on flame-resistant reflective tape is designed to enhance visibility in low-light and night-time conditions when illuminated by a light source.

What is the difference between Bizflame Plus and FR Cotton Lining?

Bizflame Plus is the durable, flame-resistant outer shell fabric (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre). The FR Cotton Lining (100% Cotton Flame Resistant) is the inner fabric that provides comfort and additional thermal insulation, both treated for flame resistance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing sufficient warmth

Ensure all zippers and closures are fully secured. Check if the inner waist adjustment is tightened for a snug fit. Verify that the garment is clean, as accumulated dirt can reduce insulation efficiency.

Reflective tape appears damaged or peeling

Avoid aggressive washing or drying cycles. If damage has occurred, the reflective properties may be compromised. Contact customer support for replacement options if the damage affects safety.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (e.g., from a pencil lead) to the teeth.

Loss of flame-resistant properties over time

Follow care instructions strictly, especially regarding detergents and fabric softeners. Flame resistance is guaranteed for the life of the garment, but improper care can accelerate degradation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold conditions.
  • High level of protection against flame, heat, and welding hazards.
  • Durable construction with triple-stitched seams.
  • Enhanced visibility due to reflective tape.
  • Comfortable fit with inner waist adjustment and snug cuffs.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for industrial/offshore use, may be too specialized for casual wear.
  • The XXXL size may not be suitable for all body types.
  • Requires specific care to maintain flame-resistant properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

The Portwest FR59 is designed for male adults. Available sizes include S, M, L, XXL, and XXXL. It is available in Blue, Orange, and Red colour families, although this guide focuses on the Blue XXXL variant.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the protective properties and longevity of the FR59 jacket:

  1. Washing: Wash according to the care label instructions, typically in a domestic or industrial laundry at a maximum of 60°C (140°F). Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting, maximum 110°C (230°F), without steam.
  4. Dry Cleaning: Can be dry cleaned using PCE (Perchloroethylene) on a normal cycle.
  5. Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners or biological detergents, as these can degrade the flame-resistant treatment. Ensure the garment is clean before use, as dirt and oils can impair its protective qualities.
  6. Repairs: Use only flame-resistant thread and materials for any repairs.
