The hi-vis jacket in the form of this DX4 Hi-Vis 1/4 Zip Hoodie - Portwest DX482 offers professionals an excellent combination of warmth and high-visibility safety during outdoor work. This sporty hoodie is specially designed for wearers in construction, infrastructure, and logistics who need to remain clearly visible in cold temperatures. Thanks to its flexible material, this model is ideal for active workdays where comfort and freedom of movement are paramount.
Which working conditions is this Portwest hi-vis jacket best suited for?
This hi-vis jacket is ideal for outdoor work during autumn and winter where maximum visibility is mandatory, such as roadworks or on construction sites.
The hoodie meets the strict EN ISO 20471 standard, with size S certified as Class 2 and larger sizes from size M falling under Class 3 for the highest level of visibility. The orange version also complies with the rail industry standard RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2, making the sweater safe to wear in the railway sector.
What makes the material of this hi-vis jacket so comfortable during active shifts?
Unlike stiff safety clothing, this hi-vis jacket is made from an innovative mechanical stretch fabric processed into a soft polyester fleece.
This material provides excellent thermal insulation and moves fluidly with your body. The segmented reflective tape is heat-applied, ensuring the reflective bands remain elastic and do not restrict movement. The quarter-zip on the front also allows for quick ventilation when physical exertion increases during your work.
The slim-fit cut conforms well to the body. The hood offers extra protection against the wind, while two zippered side pockets provide secure storage space.
