Portwest Softshell Jacket - Yellow - XL

The '3L' typically refers to the 3-layer construction of the softshell fabric, which usually includes an outer shell, a membrane for waterproofing/breathability, and an inner lining (in this case, micro polar fleece).

The jacket is described as 'extremely water-resistant' and features a waterproof zip pocket and storm flap. While it offers significant protection against rain, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged submersion or heavy downpours like a dedicated rain jacket.

Refer to the specific Portwest size chart for the Softshell Jacket. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the provided dimensions for the best fit. Consider wearing the type of clothing you'd typically wear underneath when measuring.

The micro polar fleece lining provides warmth, making it suitable for cool to mild temperatures. For very cold weather, it's best used as a mid-layer with a warmer insulating jacket or coat over it.

These are panels typically made of a different material or color, often located on the lower parts of the jacket (like the sleeves or hem), which are more prone to getting dirty during work. They help the jacket look cleaner for longer.

Yes, this jacket complies with ANSI/ISEA 107 TYPE R CLASS 3 and EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards, indicating it meets high requirements for visibility in occupational settings.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for softshell fabrics if performance does not improve.

Gently try to free the fabric. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or a bit of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth. Ensure the storm flap is not caught in the zipper.

This is a common occurrence with fleece. Wash inside out and tumble dry on low heat to minimize pilling. Avoid abrasive contact.
