Description
The Portwest T500 hi-vis jacket model is a modern, two-tone work jacket specifically designed for professionals who require optimal protection. This hi-vis jacket offers excellent visibility in high-risk work environments where standing out is vital. Thanks to the durable polycotton fabric with a stain-resistant finish, the wearer remains well-protected and professional-looking during daily work in all conditions.
For which specific tasks and sectors is this Portwest hi-vis jacket suitable?
This hi-vis jacket is ideally suited for professionals in construction, logistics, and infrastructure where high visibility is mandatory. The orange version also meets the strict RIS 3279-TOM standard, making this variant specifically approved for use in the rail industry.
The robust material is resistant to intensive daily use. Thanks to the stain-resistant Texpel finish, water and stubborn dirt are effectively repelled, which significantly extends the garment's lifespan during heavy outdoor work.
What does the EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification of this hi-vis jacket mean for safety?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard is the highest class for reflective clothing, meaning this hi-vis jacket guarantees maximum visibility at high speeds or in dangerous traffic situations. The jacket retains this certified safety class for up to fifty washes.
The segmented reflective striping is heat-applied, which provides extra flexibility and freedom of movement without compromising the jacket's reflective properties.
