Portwest Softshell Jacket - Black - L

The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish causes water to bead and run off the fabric surface, enhancing the jacket's water-resistance and helping to keep the wearer dry.

The jacket is designed to be water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

The jacket features a total of eight pockets, including a zipped chest pocket and a phone pocket. Specific pocket locations are detailed in the product description, but generally include hand warmer pockets and internal options.

The jacket is lined with a micro polar fleece for warmth. It is suitable for cool to mild conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.

GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It indicates that the polyester used in the jacket is certified recycled material, contributing to sustainability.

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Close all zippers and fastenings before washing.

This guide specifically covers the Portwest Softshell Jacket in Black, size L. Other sizes and potentially colors may be available from the manufacturer; please check product listings for alternative options.

This can occur if the jacket is significantly strained, or if there is extreme humidity. Ensure zippers and cuffs are properly sealed. If conditions persist, consider a more waterproof garment.

The jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, internal layers may become damp. For very wet conditions, a dedicated waterproof outer shell is recommended. The Texpel™ finish may also diminish over time; reapply suitable fabric treatments if necessary after washing.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary. Ensure zippers are closed properly before washing.

Ensure the inner micro polar fleece lining is clean. Lint and dirt can accumulate and reduce breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the garment's vents are not obstructed.
