Description
The Portwest DX476 DX4 Softshell Gilet (3L) is a versatile bodywarmer specifically designed for professionals who need flexible protection during their daily work. This windproof and water-repellent bodywarmer is ideal for changeable weather conditions where freedom of movement and comfort are essential. Thanks to its ergonomic design and active fit, the gilet fits the body perfectly during active work in construction, logistics, or installation engineering.
For which working conditions is this Portwest DX476 bodywarmer most suitable?
This model is excellently suited for dynamic outdoor work or in drafty indoor spaces where extra core warmth is required. Thanks to the three-layer softshell fabric, the gilet offers excellent protection against biting winds and light rain, while leaving the arms completely free to work unhindered.
The breathable properties ensure that perspiration is effectively wicked away during physical exertion, keeping you comfortable and dry. This makes the gilet an ideal mid-layer for professionals in engineering, logistics, and assembly.
What do the waterproof and breathability standards of this DX4 Softshell Gilet mean?
The WP 8,000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand significant water pressure, making the gilet highly water-repellent and protective against rain. The MVP 3,000g/m²/24hr value represents the breathability capacity, meaning the fabric allows vapor to escape to prevent overheating.
Unlike a standard work jacket, this three-layer construction combines a windproof membrane with an environmentally conscious water-repellent finish. This causes water to bead off the surface immediately, while breathability is maintained during intensive work.
With seven functional storage pockets, including zippered pockets and a phone pocket, this gilet offers plenty of space. The chin guard and adjustable drawcord ensure an optimal fit.
