Description
The Portwest freezer parka is an indispensable freezer parka for professionals who need to perform for long periods in extremely cold working environments. This robust three-quarter length coat is specially designed to keep the body warm and dry under the harshest conditions, such as in cold stores or during outdoor work in winter. Thanks to high-quality materials, this jacket provides a reliable barrier against low temperatures, while allowing the wearer to continue working comfortably.
For which specific working conditions is this Portwest freezer parka suitable?
This jacket is ideal for work in cold stores, cold storage facilities, and extreme winter outdoor conditions. Thanks to the heavy lining and the hard-wearing Oxford polyester outer fabric, the jacket offers certified protection against extreme cold down to as low as -58 degrees Celsius.
The fleece-lined collar and knitted cuffs effectively retain heat, while the water-repellent finish ensures that water beads off the surface. This makes the parka ideal for long-term use in humid and freezing environments.
