Product Information

Full details

This Portwest FR Anti-Static Winter Coverall is designed for adult males working in demanding environments like the offshore industry. Its primary benefit is providing excellent protection against various heat hazards, including radiant, convective, and contact heat, while also offering superior warmth and comfort due to its FR cotton lining and polyester filling. A potential caveat is that it's specifically geared towards environments requiring FR protection, which may be overkill for general use. Key features include guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment, anti-static properties, triple-stitched seams, high-visibility reflective tape, a concealed two-way front brass zip, two front chest pockets with concealed brass zips, and patented knee pad pockets with an adjustable system.

FAQs

What makes this coverall "FR Anti-Static"?

"FR" stands for Flame Resistant, meaning the material is designed to self-extinguish and not melt or drip when exposed to flame. "Anti-Static" means the fabric is designed to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charges, which is crucial in environments where sparks could ignite flammable materials.

How do I know if this coverall will protect me?

The coverall meets several rigorous EN standards (EN ISO 11612, EN 1149-5, EN 342, EN ISO 11611) which certify its performance against specific hazards like flame, heat, and static discharge. The "CE-CAT III" rating indicates it is suitable for the most severe risks.

Can I wear this coverall in very cold weather?

Yes, the coverall includes an FR cotton lining and a 150g polyester flame-resistant filling specifically designed to provide extra warmth in cold conditions, meeting EN 342 standards for cold protection.

How do I ensure the knee pads fit correctly?

The coverall features patented knee pad pockets with an innovative two-tier adjustable system. Insert your knee pads into the pockets and use the adjustable system to customize the height and fit for optimal comfort and protection.

What is the purpose of the 50+ UPF rating?

The 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for workers exposed to prolonged periods outdoors.

What materials is the coverall made from?

The shell fabric is Bizflame Plus (99% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre), the lining is 100% Cotton Flame Resistant Lining, and the filling is 100% Polyester Flame Resistant Filling.

Is a hood included?

Yes, this specific model (FR53RERM) has the added benefit of a detachable hood with a brass zip attachment.

Troubleshooting

Coverall feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size guide. Check that knee pads are properly inserted and adjusted, as they can sometimes affect the fit around the legs. Allow the garment to break in with wear.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing and drying. If damage has occurred, consider professional repair or replacement of the tape, though this may compromise certification. For significant damage, the garment may need replacement.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers. Always close zippers fully before washing.

Reduced warmth after several washes.

Check that you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners and bleach, as these can degrade the insulation and flame-resistant lining. Ensure the garment is fully dry before use.
