FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Portwest WX2 Eco Fleece Jacket is made from fleece and is not designed to be waterproof. It offers warmth and comfort but should be paired with a waterproof outer layer in wet conditions.

What does 'GRS certified recycled polyester' mean?

GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It means the polyester used in this jacket has been verified as recycled, ensuring environmental and social responsibility throughout the supply chain.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of five pockets: one zipped chest pocket, two zipped side pockets, and two internal pockets for secure storage.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

As a fleece jacket, it provides good insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn as a mid-layer underneath a more protective outer shell, such as a waterproof or insulated jacket.

How should I wash the jacket to prevent damage?

Wash at a maximum of 40°C on a mild process. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. It is best to air dry the jacket.

Is the fit suitable for layering?

Yes, the jacket is designed with comfort and movement in mind, making it suitable for layering over a t-shirt or base layer, and under a heavier coat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears to have lost its shape or stretch.

Ensure you are following the specific washing instructions. Avoid high heat drying or ironing, which can damage the fleece and stretch panels. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended.

Fleece material is pilling or showing wear.

While the jacket has an anti-pill finish, excessive friction or rough handling can contribute to pilling. Wash the jacket inside out to minimize abrasion. Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or silicone lubricant can help smooth operation. Ensure zippers are kept clean.
