Description
The Portwest C464 hi-vis jacket is a lightweight 2-in-1 high visibility jacket designed for outdoor workers who need protection from both cold and rain. The outer material is made of 150D Oxford woven 100% polyester with a PVC coating, while the removable 300 g/m² fleece lining provides extra warmth. This means the jacket can be used as a full winter jacket or as a lighter rain jacket.
For which sectors and working conditions is the Portwest C464 hi-vis jacket suitable?
The Portwest C464 is suitable for outdoor workers in sectors such as road construction, railway maintenance, logistics and municipal services, where both visibility and weather resistance are required.
The jacket complies with EN ISO 20471 class 3, the highest class for high visibility, which means that the wearer is highly visible even at high speeds and in complex working environments. Thanks to EN 343 class 3:1, the jacket offers protection against heavy rain with a water column of 5000 mm. For railway personnel in the United Kingdom, the jacket in orange is also certified according to RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2.
What does the EN 342 standard mean for the Portwest C464 and when should you choose this jacket instead of a standard rain jacket?
EN 342 is the standard for protective clothing against cold environments; the C464 achieves a thermal insulation value of 0.336 m².K/W, which indicates that the jacket provides measurable protection against low outdoor temperatures.
Unlike a standard rain jacket, the C464 combines rain resistance with certified cold insulation via the fleece lining. When the temperature rises or the work is lighter, you unzip the lining and wear the jacket as a lightweight rain jacket. This makes this model suitable for changing weather conditions during a single workday.
The jacket can be washed a maximum of 25 times at 40°C and must not be tumble dried, ironed or dry cleaned.
