Portwest WX2 Eco Stretch Bib & Brace - Blue

The garment is primarily made from durable polycotton fabric, with a significant portion being recycled polyester, and features innovative stretch panelling in key areas.

It features a total of 12 pockets, including chest pockets with zip closure, thigh pockets, rule pocket, pen pocket, spanner pocket, and back pockets.

Knee pads are not included; they are designed to be used with compatible bottom-loading knee pads which are sold separately.

UPF 40+ means the fabric is rated to block at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Yes, it is machine washable at 60°C. However, avoid bleaching and use a low setting for tumble drying.

It is designed for general work environments requiring lower body protection and comfort. Its non-magnetic properties make it suitable for specific industrial settings where ferrous metals are a concern.

The stretch panelling in areas like the knees and groin provides enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, reducing wearer fatigue during physically demanding tasks.

Ensure proper washing and drying according to care instructions. Fabric softeners or harsh detergents can degrade the stretch panels.

Verify that the knee pads are the correct size and type for the bottom-loading pockets. Ensure they are fully inserted and seated correctly within the pockets.

Check if the garment has been exposed to excessive sunlight without proper washing or if harsh chemicals were used during cleaning. Follow recommended washing cycles.

The UPF rating can decrease with wear and washing. Adhere strictly to the care instructions to maximize the lifespan of this protection.
