Full details

The Portwest EV4 Stretch Work Jacket is designed for adult males requiring durable, flexible workwear. Its key benefit is exceptional ease of movement and ventilation through advanced stretch fabric and laser-cut holes, making it ideal for physically demanding jobs, even when wearing a harness.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the EV4 Stretch Work Jacket?

The jacket is primarily constructed from Titanmill Ultra Stretch nylon and elastane fabric (92% Nylon, 8% Elastane).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for moderate conditions and offers ventilation. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over thermal clothing, or a heavier insulated jacket should be worn.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features 3 pockets for convenient storage.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The jacket has a slim fit. Measure your chest and refer to the Portwest sizing chart. Consider sizing up if you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath.

Can the ventilation holes be closed?

The laser-cut holes are part of the fabric construction for passive ventilation and cannot be closed.

What does 'ActiReach™ Active armhole' mean?

ActiReach™ refers to an ergonomic design in the armhole area that allows for an extended range of motion, enabling comfortable overreaching movements without restriction.

How can I improve the longevity of the jacket?

Follow the recommended washcare instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature, drying, and ironing. Avoid harsh detergents and dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive despite stretch fabric.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The EV4 has a slim fit; consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel or need to layer extensively.

Ventilation seems insufficient during intense activity.

While the jacket has ventilation features, extreme exertion in high heat may still lead to warmth. Ensure the primary ventilation channels (underarms, back) are not obstructed by other clothing layers.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. The reversed zip design may feel different initially; practice zipping and unzipping to become accustomed to its movement.

Reflective print is peeling after washing.

Review washcare instructions. Avoid high heat in the dryer and do not iron directly on the reflective print. Gentle washing cycles are recommended.
