For site, transport, logistics and outdoor work where the chosen configuration satisfies the employer’s risk assessment. Check all required visibility and weather-protection levels before selecting it for highways or railway duties.
Use and Care
Follow the care label and the permitted washing limit. Inspect reflective tape, seams and sleeve zips before reuse, and ensure all parts are attached correctly when worn as a jacket. Cold protection depends on the complete clothing system and working conditions; it is not a promise of comfort at a particular temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove the sleeves?
Yes. Zip fastenings let you detach the sleeves to use the garment as a bodywarmer. Follow the user instructions for the permitted configurations.
Does every configuration provide Class 3 visibility?
Do not assume this. Portwest lists Class 3 for the complete jacket; check the supplied label for the classification and coverage of the sleeveless configuration.
Does the hood detach?
The manufacturer describes a concealed pack-away hood. It can be stored away when it is not needed.
