The Portwest S590 hi-vis jacket is a premium Extreme Parka specifically designed for professionals who need to work outdoors in all weather conditions. This robust and functional jacket offers excellent protection against rain and wind, while ensuring optimal visibility for the wearer in high-risk work environments. Thanks to its high-quality materials, this model is ideally suited for the construction, infrastructure, and logistics sectors, where safety and comfort are top priorities.
Which work conditions is this Portwest hi-vis jacket most suitable for?
This hi-vis jacket is designed for harsh outdoor conditions where both extreme precipitation and poor visibility play a role. The jacket meets the EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard, which is the highest class for reflective safety clothing.
This makes the parka ideally suited for road works, railway work (with the orange variant compliant with RIS 3279 TOM), and other locations where vehicles pass by. Its windproof and waterproof properties keep the wearer warm and dry during long shifts in the outdoors.
What does the EN 343 Class 4:3 standard mean for this hi-vis jacket?
The EN 343 Class 4:3 certification indicates that this hi-vis jacket offers very high waterproofness and excellent breathability. Class 4 is the highest class for waterproofness, featuring a water column of 11,000 millimeters and fully taped seams.
Class 3 for breathability (with an MVP of 50,000g/m²/24hrs) ensures that perspiration moisture is effectively wicked away. This prevents a clammy feeling on the inside, even during physically demanding work in pouring rain.
