The Portwest winter parka, model EV461, is a high-quality and functional winter jacket specifically designed for professionals working in challenging outdoor conditions. This jacket offers optimal protection against extreme cold and heavy precipitation. Thanks to its ergonomic fit and the use of advanced materials, the wearer stays warm, dry, and comfortable during active work in the harshest weather conditions.
For which working conditions is this Portwest winter parka most suitable?
This winter parka is ideally suited for heavy-duty outdoor work in cold, wet, and windy environments, such as construction, logistics, or offshore industries.
Thanks to the EN 342 certification, the jacket provides certified protection against cold temperatures down to below freezing. Furthermore, the EN 343 Class 4:1 X rating ensures an extremely high level of water resistance of 20,000 mm, allowing the wearer to remain completely dry and continue working comfortably even during prolonged, heavy rainfall.
What do the EN 342 and EN 343 standards mean for this winter parka?
The EN 342 certification guarantees that this jacket effectively insulates against cold air currents and low temperatures, supported by the soft Insulatex lining and Sherpa-lined side panels.
The EN 343 Class 4:1 X rating indicates the highest class of water resistance, combined with taped seams and waterproof zippers. This ensures that water cannot penetrate, while the Flotech system and laser-cut holes provide the necessary ventilation and breathability during physical exertion.
