Description
The breathable hi-vis jacket from Portwest is an excellent choice for professionals seeking reliable protection during their daily activities. This hi-vis jacket offers an optimal combination of high visibility and active protection against changing weather conditions. Thanks to its functional design, the jacket has been specially developed for workers in road and rail construction who need to remain comfortable, dry, and highly visible on the job site throughout their workday.
For which tasks and sectors is this Portwest hi-vis jacket most suitable?
This hi-vis jacket is ideally suited for work in the railway, road, and logistics sectors where excellent visibility is crucial.
The orange model fully complies with the strict RIS 3279-TOM standard, which is a requirement for working safely along the railway. Thanks to the certified reflective striping and the fluorescent fabric, the wearer remains highly visible to passing traffic and train drivers under all light and weather conditions, significantly increasing safety in the workplace.
What do the EN ISO 20471 and EN 343 standards mean for this hi-vis jacket?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard guarantees the highest class of visibility, which is maintained even after fifty wash cycles.
The EN 343 Class 4:3 X standard indicates that the jacket offers excellent water resistance of 10,000 mm while simultaneously providing a very high breathability rating of 10,000 g/m²/24h. This means that rainwater is effectively blocked by the taped seams, while perspiration is quickly wicked away from the inside to prevent a clammy feeling.
With a fleece-lined collar, elasticated waist, storm cuffs in the sleeves, and four convenient storage pockets, this jacket offers optimal comfort and practical storage space.
