FAQs

What makes this jacket 'harness compatible'?

The jacket features an ActiReach™ Active armhole design and highly flexible stretch fabric throughout. This combination allows for unrestricted movement and prevents the jacket from riding up or binding when worn with a safety harness, ensuring comfort and safety compliance.

How durable is the Titanmill Ultra Stretch fabric?

Titanmill Ultra Stretch nylon is engineered for high durability, combining strength with flexibility. The reinforced pocket entry further enhances its longevity in high-wear areas.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the EV4 Stretch Work Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed for breathability and freedom of movement, offering protection against light wind and drizzle but not heavy rain.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features three pockets for storage of essential items.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While the jacket offers some wind resistance, it is primarily designed for moderate conditions or as a layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear a thermal base layer underneath and potentially a heavier insulated jacket over the top.

What is the primary benefit of the laser cut holes?

The laser cut holes are strategically placed for ventilation, allowing air to circulate and helping to regulate body temperature during physical activity, thus preventing overheating.

What sizes and colours are available?

This model is available in various sizes (S-XXXXL) and colours, including Grey and Black. Please check specific product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart and consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath. The slim fit is designed for close-fitting comfort; try a size up if a looser fit is preferred.

Reduced ventilation or feeling warm.

Check that the laser-cut ventilation holes are not obstructed by other clothing layers or debris. Ensure the main zip is fully closed for proper airflow dynamics if needed, or partially open for maximum ventilation.

Seams or fabric showing signs of wear.

Adhere strictly to the washcare instructions. Avoid harsh detergents, excessive heat during drying or ironing, and professional dry cleaning, as these can damage the specialized fabric and stitching.

Reflective print is peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive abrasion on the reflective areas. Do not iron directly over the reflective print. Follow the recommended low-heat ironing instructions if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional freedom of movement due to stretch fabric and active armholes.
  • Enhanced comfort and reduced heat buildup with laser-cut ventilation.
  • Durable construction with reinforced pocket entries.
  • Improved safety with reflective print for visibility.
  • Harness-compatible design for versatile work environments.
  • Modern, slim fit appearance.

Cons

  • Slim fit may be restrictive for layering or for those preferring a looser fit.
  • Nylon material might not offer the same breathability as natural fibers in very hot, static conditions.

  • Limited number of pockets (three) might be insufficient for some trades.
  • Requires careful sizing to ensure optimal fit and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Portwest EV4 Stretch Work Jacket requires no specific setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed to be compatible with standard safety harnesses. Its flexible fabric and active armhole construction allow for ease of movement when worn with safety equipment. It can also be layered over light base layers or under heavier work jackets for added warmth in colder conditions.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach. Chlorine bleach can damage the fabric and its properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results and to preserve fabric integrity, line drying is recommended.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting, no more than 110°C (230°F).
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Certain chemicals used in dry cleaning can degrade the fabric.
  • General Care: Fasten all zips before washing. Wash with similar colours. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's performance and breathability.
