Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Portwest EV4 Softshell Bomber, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain the shape of the shoulder reinforcements.
- Cleaning: Close all zippers and Velcro fasteners before washing to prevent snagging. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the breathable and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the reflective prints and the waterproof coating.
- Layering: This jacket is designed for a performance fit. If you work in very cold temperatures, consider wearing a moisture-wicking thermal base layer underneath to maximize breathability and warmth without adding excessive bulk.
