FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The primary purpose is to offer protection against flame, heat, static electricity, and water in hazardous work environments.

Is this jacket suitable for welding?

While flame-resistant, this jacket is primarily designed for environments with risks of flash fires and electrical hazards. For specific welding applications, consult safety guidelines and consider specialized welding apparel.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart and measure your chest and waist. The 'M' in the product title indicates Medium size.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

The jacket is breathable, but it is also lined and padded for warmth. It is best suited for moderate to cool conditions. For very hot weather, consider lighter, unlined protective options.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III signifies a high level of protection for serious or irreversible risks, covering hazards like flame, electric arc, and chemical exposure.

How often should I wash the jacket?

It is recommended to wash the jacket only when necessary to preserve its protective qualities. Follow the care label instructions carefully, and avoid excessive washing.

What is the difference between Bizflame Rain and standard waterproof fabrics?

Bizflame Rain combines flame resistance, anti-static properties, and waterproof breathable technology, offering a multi-risk protective solution beyond standard waterproof materials.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact and that the storm flap is properly fastened over the main zipper. Check the hood is correctly deployed or stowed as needed. Re-waterproofing may be required if the coating is worn.

Reduced flame resistance or anti-static properties.

This can occur due to improper washing or wear and tear. Follow the strict care instructions provided. If properties are compromised, replace the garment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray or graphite pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape. If damage is significant, it may compromise visibility and safety. Consider replacing the jacket if tape integrity is severely affected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult males and adheres to CE-CAT III and UKCA standards. It is suitable for wear in multi-risk environments where flame resistance, waterproofing, and anti-static properties are necessary.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the flame-resistant and waterproof properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, no more than 150°C (302°F). Do not iron the reflective tape.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the jacket for any signs of damage, such as rips, tears, or compromised seams. Ensure zippers and fastenings are clean and functional.
