Portwest's innovative technologies
Cotton Comfort™ fabric is made from a high-cotton blend on the inside for comfort and polyester on the outside for maximum durability. The cotton-polyester blend ensures breathability and a comfortable feel at all times.
Texpel Wicking is a high-quality fabric that wicks moisture away from the skin, ensuring freshness and comfort. The fabric offers effective protection against stains, blocks unpleasant odors, and offers improved breathability.
EzeeCool™ is our technical, moisture-wicking fabric designed to keep wearers dry and cool during hard work. Its construction ensures that sweat and excess moisture evaporates quickly, providing the best comfort in warm conditions.
MeshAir™ Pro is a double-layer mesh fabric made of 100% polyester that improves air circulation and wicks moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer cool and dry. The MeshAir Pro 140g fabric features special hollow fibers that regulate body temperature, while the two-layer construction provides improved breathability and protection.
Extreme heat can have a detrimental impact on workers' well-being. Extreme temperatures indoors and outdoors can lead to heat stress, fatigue, memory impairment, and poor concentration. Heat stress is often exacerbated by wearing protective clothing. At Portwest, we have developed lighter clothing designed for use in hot environments and warm climates.
Portwest's evaporative cooling products are made with Cooling 360° Fabric Technology, which uses a unique polymer chemistry. They are activated by immersion in water, triggering a chemical reaction in the fabric. The clothing acts like a sponge, retaining water to keep the body cool in hot weather.
