FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The EV4 Stretch Work Jacket is designed for mobility and breathability, making it ideal for moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over appropriate thermal base layers or wear a heavier insulated jacket.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C (104°F) with similar colours. Tumble dry on low heat and iron at a low temperature. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning.

What does 'harness-compatible' mean?

It means the jacket is designed with features, such as its cut and construction, that allow a safety harness to be worn comfortably and effectively over or under it without compromising the function of either the harness or the jacket.

What is the material of the jacket?

The main shell fabric is Titanmill Ultra Stretch nylon (92% Nylon, 8% Elastane). Additional contrast fabrics in the underarm and elbow areas are also made from variations of this material for enhanced stretch and durability.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features three pockets for convenient storage.

What is the benefit of the ActiReach™ Active armhole?

The ActiReach™ Active armhole is engineered for ergonomic movement, providing an extended range of motion, especially for overhead tasks or when reaching, without the jacket pulling or restricting you.

Can I wear this jacket if I sweat a lot?

Yes, the jacket features laser-cut ventilation and is made from stretch nylon, which offers some breathability. It is designed to help manage moisture and keep you comfortable during active work.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Portwest sizing guide. The slim fit is intentional; consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath.

Reduced ventilation effectiveness

Check that the laser-cut ventilation holes are not obstructed by dirt or debris. Ensure the jacket is not being worn over excessively thick or non-breathable layers that could impede airflow.

Seams or reinforced areas showing wear

While durable, prolonged extreme stress can affect seams. Ensure the jacket is used within its intended design parameters and follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.

Reflective print fading

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade reflective elements over time. Follow the recommended care instructions for optimal longevity of the reflective print.
