Product Information

Full details

This Portwest Iona Safety Vest in Purple (XL) is designed for adults needing enhanced visibility and a comfortable fit in various workplaces. Its primary benefit is offering increased visibility through reflective tape and a bright color, suitable for general work environments. A key consideration is that it does not comply with ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 standards, making it less suitable for high-risk, regulation-driven safety roles that specifically require this certification. The vest is made from lightweight 100% Polyester Warp Knit and features a hook and loop closure for easy access and a generous fit.

Does this vest meet ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 standards?

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the Portwest Iona Safety Vest is available in an excellent choice of corporate colours, though this guide specifically details the Purple XL variant.

Is this vest suitable for high-risk environments?

Due to its non-compliance with ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 standards, it is best suited for general workplace visibility and may not be appropriate for high-risk environments that mandate specific safety certifications.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The generous fit is designed to accommodate layering; try removing any unnecessary underlayers or adjust the hook and loop closure for a looser fit.

Reflective tape appears to be damaged or losing reflectivity

Review the care instructions. Avoid excessive heat during washing or ironing, and do not dry clean, as these can degrade the reflective properties.

Color fading after multiple washes

Wash inside out on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
