Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece - Yellow - XL

EN ISO 20471 Class 3 is the highest visibility standard for protective clothing. It indicates that the garment has sufficient fluorescent and retroreflective material coverage to be clearly visible in a wide range of lighting conditions and backgrounds, ensuring the wearer's safety.

Yes, the orange variants of the Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece are specifically certified to RIS 3279-TOM, which is the standard required for safety clothing in the UK rail industry.

To maintain the anti-pill finish, wash the fleece inside out in cold or warm water (max 40°C) using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce their resistance to pilling. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.

This fleece provides warmth due to its 300g polyester fabric. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over or under other thermal garments for enhanced insulation. It is primarily designed as high-visibility workwear, with warmth as a secondary benefit.

The UPF rating is 50+, which is considered 'Excellent Protection'. This means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, helping to protect your skin from sun damage during prolonged outdoor exposure.

The Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece features three pockets for convenient storage of personal items or small tools.

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester Fleece with an anti-pill finish, weighing 300g. The garment also has internal lining fabrics: 100% Polyester Mesh (60g) for the body and 100% Polyester Taffeta (60g) for the sleeves.

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying, which can damage reflective tape and fluorescent properties. Check for any dirt or grime that may be obscuring the reflective elements and clean gently.

While designed with an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or harsh washing can still affect the fabric. Adhere strictly to the recommended washing and drying procedures. Avoid washing with abrasive items like denim or items with Velcro that can cause friction.

Inspect pockets regularly for sharp objects that might cause tears. If seams start to unravel, reinforce them with appropriate fabric repair methods, or consider replacing the garment if the damage is extensive.
