FAQs

What specific hazards does this coverall protect against?

This coverall provides protection against flame, convective heat, radiant heat, contact heat, and offers Class 2 welding protection. It is also anti-static, helping to prevent electrostatic discharge.

Is this coverall suitable for very hot environments?

While it offers heat protection, it is a lightweight 280g fabric. For extremely high heat environments, heavier-duty flame-resistant garments may be more appropriate. Always consult the specific hazard assessment for your work environment.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide details the XXL size, but it's recommended to measure yourself to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear this coverall over my regular clothing?

Yes, coveralls are typically designed to be worn over regular work clothing to provide an additional layer of protection.

How often should the coverall be washed?

Wash as needed based on soiling. However, frequent washing, even following instructions, can eventually reduce the lifespan of protective features. Refer to care labels for specific recommendations.

What does EN ISO 11612 certification mean?

EN ISO 11612 is a European standard that specifies the performance requirements for clothing used in environments where workers are exposed to heat and flame. The specific codes (A1+A2, B1, C1, F1) indicate the types of heat exposure the garment protects against.

What is the benefit of the anti-static feature?

The anti-static feature helps dissipate electrostatic charge, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable materials or cause discomfort in certain environments.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels restrictive during movement.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. The action back design should provide ample room; if significant restriction is felt, re-evaluate sizing.

Fasteners on cuffs are not holding securely.

Check the hook and loop fasteners for debris. Clean them gently with a brush. If damaged, contact customer support for potential replacement options.

Fabric appears to be losing its protective qualities after washing.

Strictly adhere to the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, and do not dry clean, as these can compromise the flame-resistant and anti-static properties.

Pockets do not lay flat or feel uncomfortable.

Ensure pockets are not overstuffed. The design accounts for standard tool sizes; excessive items may cause discomfort or strain.
