The Portwest softshell bodywarmer, model TK51, is an excellent alternative to a jacket during active work outdoors. This three-layer bodywarmer effectively protects you against changing weather conditions while keeping your arms completely free to move. Thanks to the combination of a breathable, windproof, and water-repellent fabric, this garment is ideal for professionals who want to continue working comfortably and flexibly even in inclement weather.
For which tasks is the Portwest TK51 softshell bodywarmer best suited?
This model is specifically designed for active outdoor professions where freedom of movement and protection against the elements must go hand in hand. Examples include logistics employees, landscapers, or construction professionals who are constantly on the move.
The three-layer fabric offers an excellent balance between warmth and ventilation. Thanks to the microfleece lining, your body stays warm, while the breathable properties prevent you from overheating during physical exertion. The water-repellent finish ensures that light rain simply beads off the fabric.
What does the Waterproof/Breathability rating of this softshell bodywarmer mean?
The specification WP 8,000mm and MVP 3,000g/m²/24hr indicates the degree of water resistance and breathability of the fabric. A water column of 8,000 millimeters means that the material can withstand significant pressure from rainwater.
The MVP value of 3,000 grams indicates how much water vapor the fabric allows to pass through per square meter in 24 hours. This ensures that perspiration moisture is efficiently wicked away. Waterproof zippers support these properties by preventing moisture from entering through the closures.
With six handy storage pockets, including a special phone pocket and closable zippered pockets, this model offers great storage convenience. The adjustable drawcord and chin guard ensure an optimal fit.
