Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying, which can degrade the fluorescent properties of the fabric.

Discomfort due to fit

Check the size guide and ensure the correct size was selected. If the slim fit is not suitable, consider alternative Portwest models with a regular fit.

Fabric pilling or wear

Avoid washing with abrasive items like jeans or items with Velcro. Follow the recommended washing temperature and drying method.
