For which tasks and sectors is this hi-vis jacket from Portwest most suitable?
This hi-vis jacket is ideally suited for road workers, railway workers, and logistics professionals working outdoors. The jacket meets the strict EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard, which is the highest class for reflective safety clothing.
In addition, the orange version complies with the RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard, making it specifically approved for use in the British railway sector. This makes the jacket a reliable choice for high-risk work environments where maximum visibility and safety are of vital importance.
What do the waterproof standards of this hi-vis jacket mean for daily practice?
The jacket is certified according to the EN 343 Class 3:1 X standard, with a water column of 15,000 millimeters. This means that the material offers a very high level of water resistance and is resistant to heavy rainfall, while the taped seams completely block water from penetrating.
The outer fabric is also treated with an eco-conscious, water-repellent finish that causes water droplets to bead off the surface instantly. This keeps the wearer dry and comfortable during long shifts in pouring rain.
With eight convenient storage pockets, a concealed hood, a phone pocket, and a removable, reversible bodywarmer, this comfortable jacket offers maximum practical storage space and flexibility.
