The Portwest RWS traffic jacket is a certified high-visibility jacket specifically designed for professionals working in road construction and other high-risk outdoor environments. Thanks to the reflective striping in accordance with Rijkswaterstaat guidelines, this functional jacket provides maximum visibility during roadside work. Its robust materials effectively protect you against extreme weather conditions while ensuring you meet the strictest workplace safety standards.
For which tasks and sectors is this RWS traffic jacket most suitable?
This jacket is ideal for road workers, railway personnel, and professionals in logistics and construction who work outdoors. With its EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification, the jacket offers the highest level of visibility, which is essential for work near high-speed traffic.
Furthermore, the jacket is certified to the EN 342 standard for protection against cold down to minus forty degrees Celsius. This makes the model perfect for outdoor use during cold winter months and in harsh, wet weather conditions.
What do the waterproof ratings of this RWS traffic jacket mean in practice?
The jacket complies with the EN 343 Class 3:1 standard, which guarantees excellent waterproof performance during heavy rainfall. The taped seams and water-repellent finish ensure that water cannot penetrate and beads off the fabric immediately.
Class 3 indicates the highest level of waterproofness, keeping you dry for extended periods during your work. The lower breathability class of 1 is compensated for by the versatility of the removable lining, which you can adjust as needed.
The jacket features a concealed hood, an adjustable drawstring hem, and four practical storage pockets, including a dedicated phone pocket and an internal document pocket.
