Product Information
Full details
The Portwest PW2 Hi-Vis Bib and Brace is designed for adult professionals in high-traffic or hazardous work environments, such as construction and rail maintenance, who require maximum visibility and durability. It provides the key benefit of long-lasting, heavy-duty protection with its triple-stitched seams and stain-resistant fabric, though users should note that the polyester material may feel less breathable than natural fibers during intensive physical labor in extreme heat.

Does it protect against the sun?

Can I hide the ID card holder?

How do I maintain the stain-resistant finish?

Troubleshooting
Reflective tape looks dull after washing
Ensure you are using a non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can leave a residue on the tape.
Adjustable hem keeps slipping
Ensure the securing mechanism is fully engaged and check for debris or grit that might be preventing the fasteners from locking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these instructions:
- Fitting: Adjust the shoulder straps and hem length to ensure the bib covers the chest area properly without restricting shoulder mobility.
- Cleaning: Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors. Avoid industrial-strength bleaches, as these can degrade the reflective properties of the tape.
- Maintenance: Check the reflective tape regularly for tears or heavy scuffing. If the tape loses its reflective intensity, the garment may no longer be compliant with safety standards.
- Storage: Hang the garment in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the UPF protection rating.
