Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Kx3 Baffle Knit Jacket is designed for adults seeking a modern, high-performance outerwear option that balances insulation with freedom of movement. Its key benefit is offering optimal warmth and comfort through a combination of durable nylon and advanced Insulatex thermal lining, enhanced by customizable style elements. A potential caveat is that the jacket's contemporary design might be more suited for casual or corporate wear than extreme outdoor conditions.

FAQs

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell is made of 100% Nylon. The filling is Insulatex Lining (120g), and the contrast fabric for the knit sleeves is 100% Polyester Weft Knit with Brushed Back (310g).

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Can I customize the jacket with my company logo?

Yes, the jacket is ideal for corporate wear and custom finishes. The interchangeable zip pullers allow for easy integration of corporate colours. You may also be able to apply custom logos through embroidery or heat transfer, following standard garment decoration guidelines.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is designed for warmth and comfort, with a hardwearing nylon outer which can offer some resistance to light rain. However, it is not rated as waterproof. For protection against heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be necessary.

What is the purpose of the body-mapped design?

The body-mapped design strategically places insulation and materials to optimize warmth where needed most (e.g., torso) while allowing for greater freedom of movement in other areas (e.g., sleeves), enhancing overall comfort and performance.

How do I change the zip pullers?

Simply unzip the current puller from the main zipper tab and attach one of the included colored pullers (blue, red, or lime green) in the same manner.

What kind of pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of four pockets: two zipped side pockets for secure storage, and one internal pocket for additional safe storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the Portwest sizing chart. The body-mapped design prioritizes movement, but proper sizing is crucial.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check the zipper track for any debris or fabric caught in it. Gently try to clear any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Insufficient warmth in very cold conditions.

This jacket is designed for moderate warmth and mobility. For extreme cold, consider layering additional thermal base layers or a heavier insulating mid-layer underneath.

Color from zip pullers transferring to fabric.

Ensure zip pullers are securely attached. If color transfer occurs, wash the garment according to care instructions. Avoid prolonged contact between the pullers and lighter colored fabrics when wet.
