The Portwest waterproof rain jacket is the ideal protection for professionals who have to work outdoors in wet and harsh conditions. This functional jacket is specifically designed for severe weather and offers reliable shelter against rain and wind. Thanks to its robust construction and focus on functionality, the wearer stays comfortable and dry during active outdoor work, regardless of the intensity of the downpour.
For which tasks is this Portwest waterproof rain jacket most suitable?
This jacket is ideal for outdoor work in the maritime, construction, and logistics sectors, where exposure to heavy rainfall is a daily occurrence. Thanks to the welded seams and the extremely water-repellent finish, water beads off the fabric immediately.
The heavy-duty plastic zipper with storm flap and the peaked hood offer extra protection against strong winds and driving rain, allowing employees to continue their work undisturbed in challenging outdoor environments.
What does the EN 343 Class 4:1 X rating mean for this waterproof rain jacket?

The Class 1 breathability rating shows that the jacket is primarily designed for maximum barrier protection against moisture penetration from the outside, which is essential during long-term, stationary work in pouring rain.
