Product Information
Full details
This Portwest KX3 Parka Jacket in Grey, Size M, is designed for adult males seeking stylish, functional, and durable protection against extreme weather. Its key benefit is comprehensive weatherproofing and thermal insulation for comfort in harsh conditions. A potential consideration is that while it offers significant water resistance, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged submersion. Key features include quilt lining for warmth, a waterproof zip front closure, ergonomic shaping for a comfortable fit, and multiple pockets for storage.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is extremely water-resistant with taped seams, making it ideal for moderate to heavy rain. However, for prolonged submersion or extreme downpours, a fully waterproof garment might be more appropriate.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features a total of 10 pockets for ample storage, including a dedicated phone pocket.
What material is the jacket made of?
The shell fabric is 100% Polyester with a TPU coating. The lining is 100% Polyester Taffeta, and the filling is also 100% Polyester.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a low temperature. Close all zippers before washing.
Does the hood have adjustable features?
Yes, the hood and hem feature drawcords for a secure and comfortable fit, helping to keep out wind and rain.
Is there a way to improve visibility?
Yes, the jacket includes reflective trim to increase visibility and safety in low-light conditions.
Can I use this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is quilt-lined for thermal insulation, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and consider that the jacket is extremely water-resistant, not fully waterproof for prolonged immersion. Check that seams are intact and that the fabric finish is not compromised. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Adjust the drawcord on the waist and hem for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for an ergonomic fit; consider layering with thinner garments underneath if more space is needed.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper if it appears dirty or corroded.
