Engineered for Performance

The Portwest Eco Hi-Vis Fleece Jacket represents a significant step forward in sustainable protective workwear without compromising on safety or durability. Engineered from 100% certified recycled polyester, this garment repurposes plastic waste into a high-performance textile that delivers exceptional thermal retention. The 270gsm fabric weight is calibrated to provide substantial warmth in outdoor operational environments while maintaining a lightweight profile to reduce wearer fatigue. Crucially, the fabric is treated with a high-quality anti-pill finish, which prevents the formation of bobbles on the surface—a common issue with inferior fleeces that degrades both appearance and fabric integrity over time. For professionals in the rail and construction sectors, compliance is non-negotiable; this jacket meets the rigorous EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards for high visibility and, in the orange colourway, strictly adheres to RIS 3279-TOM specifications for the rail industry. The integration of premium reflective tape ensures maximum visibility in low-light conditions, making it an essential layer for safety-critical roles. By choosing this Hi-Vis Jacket, businesses can align their procurement with environmental sustainability goals while ensuring their workforce is protected by certified, durable gear.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for the active workforce, this fleece prioritises movement and functional utility during long shifts. The cut is generous, allowing it to be worn comfortably over base layers or uniforms without restricting range of motion—vital for manual handling or operating machinery. The elasticated cuffs and an elasticated drawcord at the waist allow the wearer to tailor the fit, sealing out cold draughts and maintaining core body temperature in adverse weather. Practicality is addressed through intelligent storage solutions; the jacket features three ample pockets, including two secure side pockets with zips and an internal phone pocket, ensuring that essential tools, devices, and personal items remain safe and accessible. The inclusion of a radio loop on the chest streamlines communication for site managers and security personnel. Whether used as an outer layer in mild conditions or a mid-layer in extreme cold, this fleece offers the versatility and comfort required for 8-hour+ shifts in demanding industrial settings.
