For what type of work is the Portwest B315 hi-vis hoodie suitable?
The Portwest B315 is suitable for outdoor work where high visibility is required, such as road construction, railway maintenance, logistics and municipal outdoor work.
In sizes S and M, the jacket complies with EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 2. From size L, it meets Class 3, which is the highest visibility class for workers in heavy traffic or in low visibility conditions. For railway environments in the United Kingdom, the jacket in orange is also certified according to RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2.
What is the difference between EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and Class 3 for the Portwest B315 hoodie?
Class 3 offers more fluorescent surface area and more retroreflective strips than Class 2, making the wearer visible in time even at higher vehicle speeds and in poorer visibility conditions.
For the Portwest B315, the class depends on the size: S and M meet Class 2, suitable for environments with a moderate traffic risk. From size L, the jacket complies with Class 3, the standard for workers directly alongside busy roads or railways. Choose the size that fits both your body and the required safety standard at the workplace.
