FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for the Essential 5In1 Hi-Vis Jacket. Measure your chest and waist circumference and compare with the chart to find the best fit. It is recommended to order a size up if you plan to wear bulky layers underneath.

What is the difference between the outer and inner jacket?

The outer jacket is a waterproof and windproof shell, designed for protection against the elements. The inner jacket is a fleece layer that provides warmth and can be worn separately. They can be zipped and buttoned together for combined protection.

Can the inner jacket be worn on its own?

Yes, the inner fleece jacket is designed to be detached and worn as a standalone garment for warmth in milder conditions.

How many pockets does the jacket have in total?

The jacket system offers a total of seven pockets across both the outer and inner jackets, including a dedicated concealed mobile phone pocket.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket meets EN 342 standards for cold protection, indicating it offers good thermal insulation when worn as a complete system (outer shell and inner fleece). For extremely low temperatures, additional thermal layers may be beneficial.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 3 is the highest level of visibility certification for workwear. It ensures the garment has sufficient fluorescent material and retro-reflective tape to make the wearer highly visible in all light conditions and against complex backgrounds.

How should I clean the reflective tape?

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions (machine wash at 40°C). Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents. Do not tumble dry on high heat or iron directly on the tape. Gentle care will help preserve the reflective properties.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

The waterproof coating may have worn off due to age or improper care. Consider re-applying a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure all care instructions are followed, especially regarding detergents and drying.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during drying or ironing. Do not use harsh chemicals. Minor peeling can sometimes be addressed with careful application of fabric glue, but significant damage may require replacement of the garment for safety compliance.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught.

Inner jacket does not attach securely.

Check that all attachment points (zippers, snaps, or loops) on both the inner and outer jackets are clean and aligned correctly. Ensure the correct attachment method is being used as per the product's design.

Fleece is shedding.

Wash the fleece separately on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help catch loose fibers. This is common with new fleece items and should reduce over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is designed for immediate wear. The inner jacket can be detached or attached to the outer shell using the provided fastenings.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult male wearers and adheres to several safety standards (CE, EN ISO 20471 Class 3, EN 343:2019 Class 3:1, EN 342).

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a medium setting (150°C/300°F).
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Maintenance: Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating and reflective properties. Ensure all zips are fastened and pockets are emptied before washing. Allow the jacket to air dry completely after washing.
