This Portwest CD860 WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Rain Jacket is designed for adults working in conditions requiring high visibility and protection from foul weather. Its key benefit is keeping the wearer visible, safe, and dry with 8 pockets for ample storage and an eco-conscious recycled fabric. A potential caveat is that while extremely water-resistant, it is primarily designed for rain rather than prolonged submersion.

The Portwest CD860 WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Rain Jacket is designed to keep the wearer visible, safe, and dry in foul weather conditions. It is ideal for outdoor work environments requiring high safety standards.
The jacket is constructed using 100% recycled polyester as its shell fabric, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
The jacket features 8 pockets in total, including a zipped chest pocket, two side zip pockets, internal lower patch pockets, and a dedicated pocket for a phone and pen.
The hood is a pack-away design, meaning it can be conveniently stored within the collar when not in use, rather than being fully detachable.
The jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471 for high visibility. It also complies with RIS 3279-TOM for the rail industry (orange variant only). The fabric is rated 40+ UPF for UV protection.
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Always close zippers and fasteners before washing. Follow the specific care label instructions for best results.
'PFAS free' means the jacket's water-repellent finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often associated with environmental concerns. This jacket uses Texpel™ Splash Eco finish instead.
While it provides excellent protection against rain and wind, it is primarily a rain jacket. For very cold conditions, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended for optimal thermal insulation.
Ensure the reflective tape and fabric are clean. Excessive dirt or wear can reduce reflectivity. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity and reflectivity after 50 washes.
Check that all seams are intact and zippers are fully closed. The jacket is waterproof with taped seams, but damage to these areas or improper closure can lead to leaks. Ensure the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish is still active; re-treatment might be necessary if water no longer beads.
Ensure items are not overstuffing the pockets and that zippers are fully functional. The design prioritizes secure storage, which may mean a snugger fit for pocket contents.
New garments can sometimes feel stiff. Washing the jacket according to care instructions may soften the fabric. Ensure the fit is correct and adjustable using the drawcord hem and cuffs for better comfort.
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: While designed for general workwear, its specific compliance with EN ISO 20471 and RIS 3279-TOM (orange only) makes it compatible with safety regulations in various industries, particularly construction, utilities, and transportation.
