Portwest Iona Softshell Jacket - Blue - XL

The jacket is extremely water-resistant due to its fabric and Texpel™ Splash Eco finish, meaning water beads away. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged heavy rain immersion.

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart provided separately. Measure your chest and waist and compare these measurements to the chart. The XL size in the product description is for reference.

The jacket provides good thermal insulation thanks to its micro polar fleece lining and windproof features. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer additional warm clothing underneath.

CE certification indicates that the product meets the health and safety requirements set out by the European Economic Area (EEA) for specific product types, ensuring it is suitable for professional workwear.

Yes, the jacket is designed to be breathable. The tightly woven outer shell allows air circulation, which helps to prevent overheating during physical activity.

Wash the jacket as needed based on usage and dirt levels. Frequent washing is generally not required unless the garment is visibly soiled or its performance is compromised. Always follow the recommended care instructions.

Texpel™ Splash Eco is an environmentally friendly fabric finish that makes the material extremely water-resistant. It causes liquids to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting the wearer from moisture.

The water-resistant finish may have degraded. Ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions and avoid fabric softeners. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent treatment if performance significantly diminishes.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure zippers are closed fully before washing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for layering; try wearing thinner layers underneath. Check that the hook and loop cuffs and hem drawcord are not overly tightened.

Avoid high heat in the dryer and do not iron the reflective tape. If damage is minor, it may not affect functionality, but significant peeling may reduce visibility. Professional repair may be possible for minor issues.
