Product Information

Full details

This Portwest Hi-Vis 2-In-1 Bomber Jacket is designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its versatility, offering multiple wear options for changing weather conditions and job demands. A potential caveat is the specific color certification for orange variants (RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1), with the yellow version adhering to EN ISO 20471 Class 3. This jacket features zip-out sleeves, a pack-away hood, and extensive pocketing, all constructed with waterproof and breathable materials.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this jacket be worn in extreme cold conditions?

The jacket is EN342 certified for protection against cold, down to -40°C when worn as part of a system. Its insulation and waterproof features make it suitable for cold environments, but layering is recommended for the coldest temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean. Iron on a low setting. Ensure zippers are closed before washing to protect the fabric and zippers.

What makes this jacket a '2-in-1' design?

The jacket features zip-out detachable sleeves. This allows you to wear it as a full bomber jacket for maximum warmth and protection, or remove the sleeves to wear it as a high-visibility gilet for warmer conditions or increased arm mobility.

Is the yellow jacket as visible as the orange one?

Both colors are designed for high visibility. The yellow variant is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3. The orange variant also meets RIS-3279-TOM ISSUE 1, a specific standard for orange garments in the UK rail industry. Check your specific industry requirements.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, it features a pack-away hood concealed within the collar. This hood can be deployed in wet or windy conditions and neatly stored when not needed.

What type of fabric is used for the shell?

The shell fabric is 100% Polyester, 300D Oxford Weave with a stain-resistant finish and a PU Coating. This provides durability, water resistance, and a cleaner appearance.

Are there options for corporate branding?

Yes, the jacket includes print access, making it suitable for adding company logos or branding.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the seams.

Ensure the seams were not damaged during washing or wear. Check if the garment has been washed with fabric softener, which can compromise waterproofing. Re-wash following care instructions without softener and consider a reproofing spray if the issue persists.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not dry clean. If damage is minor, gentle ironing on a low setting (with a cloth barrier) may help re-adhere it. For significant damage, the garment's visibility rating may be compromised.

Sleeves are difficult to zip on or off.

Ensure the zippers and the surrounding fabric are clean and free of debris. Check for any snags or puckering in the fabric near the zipper. Gently align the zippers before attempting to engage them.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Verify that the quilt lining and padding are intact. Ensure all closures (zipper, cuffs) are fastened securely. For extremely cold conditions, layer appropriately underneath, as the jacket is designed for moderate cold and protection from elements.
