FAQs
Can I wear the inner fleece jacket on its own?
Yes, the inner fleece jacket is designed to be worn separately as a standalone garment for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild process. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat. Close all zippers and fastenings before washing.
What does '3-in-1' mean for this jacket?
It means the jacket can be worn in three configurations: the outer waterproof shell only, the inner fleece only, or the outer shell and inner fleece combined for maximum protection.
Is the fabric breathable?
The outer shell has a PVC coating which prioritizes waterproofing and windproofing. While the mesh lining adds some breathability, it is not designed as a highly breathable technical garment for strenuous aerobic activity.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider if you will be wearing thick layers underneath when selecting your size.
What is the UPF rating?
The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which means it blocks 98% of UV radiation, providing good protection against the sun.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is designed to be stored away (pack-away) and is not removable.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and not damaged. Check the integrity of the front storm flap and cuff closures. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary, following product instructions.
The inner fleece is difficult to attach or detach.
Ensure both jackets are clean and free of debris around the zippers. Align the zippers carefully before attempting to zip them together or apart. Check for any obstructions in the zipper teeth.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. If minor peeling occurs, consider using a fabric-safe adhesive or seek professional repair if extensive.
Jacket feels stiff or crinkly.
This is often due to the PVC coating. Ensure the jacket is not stored in extreme temperatures. Gentle washing and low-heat tumble drying can help maintain flexibility. Avoid ironing.
