For which specific work environments is this Portwest C466 hi-vis bomber jacket certified?
This bomber jacket is certified according to the EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard, which signifies the highest class of visibility for high-risk work environments along roads or on construction sites. Additionally, the orange variant complies with the RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard, making the jacket officially approved for use in the British rail sector.
Thanks to the EN 342 certification, the jacket offers certified protection against cold temperatures down to -36°C, which is ideal for work in cold storage facilities or during extreme winter conditions outdoors.
What does the EN 343 class of this hi-vis jacket mean and how does the 3-in-1 system function?
The jacket is certified compliant with EN 343 Class 3:1 X, which stands for high water resistance of 15,000 millimeters thanks to the waterproof and taped seams, combined with a base class for breathability. This ensures that rainwater is kept out effectively.
The innovative 3-in-1 design offers unparalleled flexibility. You can wear the jacket as a fully lined winter jacket, or zip off the sleeves, fur lining, and fur collar to transform the jacket into a lighter bodywarmer for milder seasons.
