Full details

The Portwest IONA Softshell Jacket is designed for adult workers requiring a versatile, high-performance outer layer that balances thermal insulation with freedom of movement.

While it excels in protection and comfort, users should note that as a softshell, it is best suited for active tasks rather than sustained exposure to extreme downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or just water-resistant?

It is designed to be waterproof and windproof, making it suitable for most weather conditions, though it is not a heavy-duty immersion suit.

Can I wear this in the summer?

Due to its thermal insulation, it is primarily intended for autumn, winter, and spring. It may be too warm for high-intensity work in summer.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, it typically includes functional pockets designed for secure storage of tools or personal items.

How should I wash it to keep it waterproof?

Use a specialized technical garment cleaner or mild detergent, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, the Portwest IONA is designed with a standard industrial fit, providing enough room for light layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the outer layer

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing; use a recommended spray-on DWR treatment after cleaning.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable synthetic base layers, which can trap sweat inside rather than letting it wick through the jacket membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Portwest IONA Softshell, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the protective shell.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Layering: The jacket is designed to fit over standard base layers like t-shirts or thin fleece. Ensure you select the correct size to maintain mobility.
