FAQs

What does '5-in-1' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket can be worn in five different configurations: the full jacket, the outer shell only, the inner fleece only, the outer shell with sleeves removed, and the inner fleece with sleeves removed (referring to the inner waterproof jacket's detachable sleeves).

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, it is certified to EN342 standards for protection against cold, effective down to -36°C when worn in its complete configuration.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

Follow the care instructions diligently, particularly regarding washing temperature, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners, and using a low-heat tumble dry. The PFAS free Texpel Splash Eco finish helps maintain water repellency.

Can the inner fleece jacket be worn separately?

Yes, the inner waterproof jacket has detachable fluorescent fleece sleeves and can be worn on its own, as can the outer shell.

What is the purpose of the contrast panels?

The dark contrast panels are strategically placed on areas prone to dirt and grime, helping to maintain the jacket's appearance and extend its usable life in challenging work environments.

Does the jacket meet high visibility standards?

Yes, the jacket features reflective tape for increased visibility, crucial for safety in low-light or hazardous work conditions.

What is the sizing like for this jacket?

This guide specifically refers to the XXXXL size. It is advisable to consult a Portwest sizing chart for precise measurements to ensure a proper fit, especially given the layered nature of the garment.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Ensure all seams are intact and the Texpel Splash Eco fabric finish is still effective. Consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance has diminished. Check that zippers are fully closed and cuffs are secured.

The jacket feels too warm or too cold.

Utilize the 5-in-1 design to adapt. If too warm, remove layers (e.g., wear only the outer shell or the inner fleece). If too cold, ensure all layers are correctly combined and zipped/studded securely.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's obstructed by fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. If the zipper remains stiff, a small application of silicone lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) on the teeth can help.
