Its key benefit is a combination of warmth, comfort, and water repellency with ample storage and safety features. A potential caveat is that it is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 and RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry (orange only), which may not cover all specific safety requirements.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

The Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Softshell Jacket is extremely water-resistant due to its Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish. It is designed to repel light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.

What standards does this jacket meet?

The jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 and meets RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1 (for the orange colour variant). It also offers 40+ UPF rated fabric for UV protection.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its visibility?

Machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colours. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to wash the garment up to 50 times for optimal performance as per EN ISO 20471 certification. Do not iron prints.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket features a micropolar fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for moderate cold. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer additional thermal clothing underneath.

How many pockets does the jacket have and what type are they?

The jacket has four pockets in total: two side zip pockets for secure storage, one zipped chest pocket, and one internal pocket, also suitable for secure storage.

Is this jacket suitable for all genders?

Yes, the jacket is designed for adult unisex wear.

What does 'Bio Motion tape pattern' mean?

Bio Motion tape is designed to highlight the natural movement and shape of the human body, improving the wearer's recognition, especially at distance and in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat which can degrade reflective properties. Limit washes to the certified 50 cycles for optimal performance.

Water is penetrating the fabric

The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. Ensure zippers are fully closed to prevent water ingress through openings.

Fleece lining feels less warm

Check for any damage or compaction of the fleece. Ensure the jacket is not excessively damp internally, which can reduce insulation. Layering with additional thermal clothing may be necessary in very cold conditions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent visibility due to reflective and Bio Motion tape.
  • Keeps the wearer warm and dry with fleece lining and water-resistant finish.
  • Multiple secure pockets for convenient storage of tools and personal items.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity.
  • Offers UV protection for extended outdoor work.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy rain due to its water-resistant, not waterproof, rating.
  • Specific safety certifications (RIS 3279-TOM) apply only to the orange variant.
  • Standard fit may require layering for very cold conditions.
  • Hook and loop cuffs may snag on certain materials over time.
