Is the inner jacket detachable?

Yes, the inner jacket is detachable and reversible, offering additional wear options and versatility.

What certifications does this jacket have?

Is the fabric treated with PFAS chemicals?

No, the jacket features a PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish, making it environmentally friendlier.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching and high heat drying.

How do I ensure the hi-vis performance lasts?

The jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471 after 50 washes. To maintain visibility, avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on reflective elements.

Where is the ID card holder located?

Can the hood be removed?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR. If performance is still diminished, consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve glide.

Inner jacket is difficult to attach/detach.

Ensure both the main jacket and inner jacket zippers are aligned correctly. Check for any fabric obstructions. Gently pull the fabric taut on both sides while operating the zipper.

Reflective tape or piping is peeling.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, a fabric-safe adhesive might offer a temporary fix, but significant damage may require replacement of the garment.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes happen with technical fabrics. Ensure the jacket is dried properly. A low-heat tumble dry can help restore some suppleness. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional versatility with 7-in-1 wear options.
  • High level of waterproof, breathable, and windproof protection.
  • Excellent visibility due to reflective elements and hi-vis color.
  • Durable construction with stain-resistant and PFAS-free finish.
  • Ample storage capacity with 13 strategically placed pockets.
  • Adaptable to extreme cold with EN342 certification.

Cons

  • Specific sizing designed for male wearers.
  • The 'contrast panels for protection against dirt' might be less effective on lighter colored variants.
  • Multiple layers and configurations could be perceived as bulky by some.
  • Print access might require specific printing techniques for optimal results.
  • The fleece collar, while providing warmth, may retain moisture if heavily exposed.
  • Certification to -40°C is for protection against cold, not immersion in extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket is designed for immediate use. The inner jacket and hood are detachable and can be attached or removed using the provided zippers and fastening points. Ensure all zippers are fully engaged and cuffs are secured for maximum protection. The ID card holder is located for easy access.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a standalone garment or can be worn interactively with other compatible Portwest garments (check product specifications for compatible interactive items). It is available in a range of sizes (S-XXXXL) and also in orange, catering to different visibility requirements and fit preferences.

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

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on reflective tapes or prints.
  4. Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as they can degrade the fabric's performance and water-repellent finish.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly check zippers and seams for wear. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the water-beading effect diminishes significantly after washing.
