The Portwest DX474 Softshell Jacket in Grey (Size M) is designed for adult workers seeking a blend of protection and mobility. Its key benefit lies in its revolutionary breathable, waterproof, and windproof ripstop fabric, ensuring comfort and dryness in varied conditions. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion. This jacket offers a sports-inspired design with a longer back length, dynamically shaped sleeves, adjustable cuffs, reflective trims, and multiple secure pockets for essential storage.

The primary function is to provide protection against wind and light rain while remaining breathable, making it ideal for outdoor work in variable conditions.
The jacket is water-resistant due to its fabric treatment, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
The jacket features 6 pockets in total, including a zipped chest pocket and side zip pockets, all designed for secure storage.
The jacket is designed to be layered. While it can accommodate a thin to medium-weight layer underneath, a very thick jumper might restrict movement due to the jacket's athletic fit.
Machine wash at 40°C with no bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water-repellency.
The reflective piping is designed for increased visibility and durability under normal wear conditions. Follow care instructions to maximize their lifespan.
The shell fabric is a combination of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, laminated to 100% Polyester Micro Polar Fleece. The lining is 100% Polyester Mesh.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and cuffs are adjusted securely. Check for any rips or damage to the fabric that might compromise its integrity.
The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. The water-repellency may also diminish over time; consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if washing does not restore performance.
Ensure all zippers on the pockets are fully zipped. The design is intended for secure storage of medium-sized items. Avoid overstuffing pockets, which could strain the zippers.
Avoid fabric softeners during washing and rinsing. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended. If stiffness persists, a light ironing on a low setting might help, but check the care label first.
