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 essential. 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-duty 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 rating is the highest class for reflective clothing, meaning this hi-vis jacket guarantees maximum visibility in high-speed or dangerous traffic situations. The jacket maintains this certified safety class even after fifty washes.
The segmented reflective tape is heat-applied, which provides extra flexibility and freedom of movement without compromising the jacket's reflective properties.
For optimal comfort, the jacket features an elasticated waist, hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs, a chin guard with a storm flap, and four convenient storage pockets, including a concealed phone pocket.
