Product Information

Full details

This Portwest Hi-Vis 3-in-1 jacket is designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and protection from the elements. Its key benefit is supreme versatility, offering three distinct wearing options to adapt to changing weather conditions. A potential caveat is that its primary focus is on safety and practicality, with less emphasis on fashion trends. This jacket combines a waterproof and windproof outer shell with a detachable fleece inner for adaptable warmth and protection, featuring multiple pockets and reflective detailing for enhanced safety.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent versatility with three wearing options for different weather.
  • High level of waterproofing and water resistance.
  • Significantly enhanced visibility due to bright color and reflective tape.
  • Durable construction with taped seams.
  • Practical storage with multiple pockets and an ID card holder.
  • Comfortable inner fleece for separate use or added warmth.

Cons

  • May be bulkier than single-purpose jackets.
  • The primary design is for utility, not fashion.
  • Sizing may need careful consideration for optimal fit.
  • Outer shell material might be less breathable than specialized technical shells.
  • Long-term durability of zippers and fastenings may vary with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Joining the Jackets: Align the sleeves and collar of the inner fleece with the outer jacket. Use the integrated zippers and/or stud fastenings at the cuffs and collar to secure the inner fleece to the outer shell.
  2. Wearing Separately: The inner fleece and outer jacket can be zipped and buttoned apart for individual wear.

Compatibility:

  • This jacket is designed as a system, with the inner fleece specifically made to integrate with the outer shell. Non-Portwest items are not guaranteed to be compatible.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild process. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron.
  • Cleaning: Do not dry clean. For best results, wash with similar colors and close all zippers and fastenings before washing.
  • Maintenance: Regularly inspect seams and coatings for damage. Clean dirt and grime promptly to maintain visibility and performance.
