The Portwest FR59 FR Anti-Static Winter Jacket is designed for men working in demanding environments, particularly the offshore industry, offering superior warmth and protection. Its key benefit is guaranteed flame resistance throughout its lifespan, combined with exceptional insulation for cold conditions. A potential caveat is that its specialized safety features may mean it is not ideal for casual wear. This jacket features a Bizflame Plus outer shell, FR cotton lining, extra thick wadding insulation, high-visibility reflective tape, and protection against various heat hazards, including Class 2 welding protection.

This means the inherent flame-resistant properties of the fabric will remain effective throughout the jacket's usable lifespan, provided it is cared for according to the manufacturer's instructions. It doesn't guarantee against damage from extreme wear or accidents.
Yes, the jacket is tested and certified to EN ISO 11611 Class 2 A1+A2 standards, meaning it provides protection suitable for welding operations where higher levels of protection against heat and sparks are required.
The anti-static properties are a characteristic of the fabric blend. Proper care, as outlined in the guide (avoiding harsh chemicals and high heat), will help maintain these properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat fibers and potentially affect anti-static performance.
The fabric has a UPF 50+ rating, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays. This is beneficial for protection against sun exposure during outdoor work.
The hood is detachable via a brass zip attachment. You can remove it when not needed, but it is designed to be reattached for use.
The shell is Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre), the lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant, and the filling is 100% Polyester Flame Resistant.
It meets EN ISO 11612 (A1+A2 B1, C1, E2, F1), EN 1149-5, EN 342 (0.321 M².K/W), and EN ISO 11611 Class 2 A1+A2.
Ensure the inner waist adjustment is snug to prevent drafts. Check that the detachable hood is used if needed. Verify that all zippers are fully closed. The jacket is designed for warmth but also breathability; extreme cold may require layering underneath.
Avoid harsh detergents, high heat drying, or dry cleaning, as these can damage the tape. If damage is significant, consider replacing the jacket as visibility is a key safety feature. Refer to care instructions for proper maintenance.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free from debris. Gently move the zipper up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (e.g., from a pencil lead) to the teeth.
This is unlikely if care instructions were followed precisely. Re-read the care label and ensure no harsh chemicals or high heat were used. Significant reduction in FR properties might indicate the end of the garment's effective protective lifespan.
Setup: This jacket is designed for immediate use without complex setup. Ensure the detachable hood is securely attached via its brass zip if desired. Adjust the inner waist drawstring for a personalized fit.
Compatibility: While primarily designed for industrial and hazardous work environments, its sizing (available from S to XXXL in various colors) ensures a suitable fit for most adult males. It is compatible with other PPE gear as required by workplace safety regulations.
Care: To maintain the flame-resistant (FR) properties and overall integrity of the jacket:
