For which specific working conditions and sectors is this hi-vis jacket certified?
This jacket is ideal for the railway sector and general construction and infrastructure work. The orange version complies with the strict RIS 3279 TOM standard, which is specifically required for working safely along the tracks.

What does the EN 343 class 4:3 rating of this Portwest PW360 rain jacket mean?
The EN 343 class 4:3 rating indicates that this jacket is extremely waterproof and highly breathable. Class 4 is the highest class for water resistance, meaning the fabric and taped seams can withstand heavy rainfall.
Class 3 stands for excellent water vapor permeability. This breathability is further supported by the underarm zippers, which allow perspiration to be efficiently wicked away, keeping you comfortable and dry even during physically demanding work.
The jacket offers extra comfort thanks to the chin guard with storm flap, a curved back hem, and seven convenient storage pockets, including a chest pocket and inner pockets for secure storage.
