Product Information

Full details

This Portwest Hi-Vis Lite 3-in-1 Jacket is designed for male adults working in environments requiring high visibility and protection from the elements. Its key benefit is supreme versatility, allowing it to be worn in three different configurations for all-weather use. A potential caveat is that while extremely water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof in prolonged heavy downpours. Key features include a detachable fleece lining, a pack-away hood, extensive pocket storage, and robust, reflective construction.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart, which provides detailed measurements for chest, waist, and length. It's recommended to measure your own chest and waist and compare with the chart to find the best fit.

Can the inner fleece be worn on its own?

Yes, the inner fleece jacket is designed to be fully functional and detachable, allowing it to be worn as a standalone garment for warmth in milder conditions.

Is this jacket completely waterproof?

The jacket is extremely water-resistant with taped seams, meaning it will keep you dry in most rain conditions. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, some very minor penetration might occur over time. It is not rated as fully submersible waterproof.

What does '3-in-1' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket can be worn in three configurations: the outer shell only, the inner fleece only, or the outer shell and inner fleece combined for maximum warmth and protection.

How do I clean the Hi-Vis reflective tape?

When washing, avoid high heat settings for drying and do not iron directly on the reflective tape. Gentle cleaning and air drying or low-heat tumble drying are recommended to preserve the tape's integrity.

What is the UPF rating and what does it protect against?

The 40+ UPF rating means the fabric blocks 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This provides protection against sun exposure during outdoor work.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the jacket features a pack-away hood that can be conveniently stored within the collar when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a graphite pencil or wax to the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Check for any debris in the zipper track.

Water is penetrating the seams.

While taped seams offer excellent water resistance, prolonged submersion or heavy pressure can lead to penetration. Ensure all zippers and flaps are closed correctly. If the issue persists, the seam tape may be compromised and may require repair.

Inner fleece is difficult to attach or detach.

Align the zippers and snaps carefully. Ensure there is no fabric bunching up. Gently pull to detach and firmly push to attach. Check that all connection points are clean and free of debris.

Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, gentle ironing on a low setting might help re-adhere it, but avoid direct contact with the iron. Significant damage may require replacement of the tape.
