Portwest Hi-Vis 5-in-1 Contrast Essential Jacket - Yellow - XXXXL

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
