Engineered for Performance

The Portwest DX4 Zipped Hoodie is not just a casual layer; it is a technically advanced garment designed for the modern industrial athlete. The fabric composition is a high-performance blend of polyester, rayon, and elastane, creating a textile that is not only durable but also possesses superior moisture-wicking properties. This ensures that sweat is drawn away from the body during intense physical labour, keeping the wearer dry and preventing the post-work chill. The 330gsm weight provides substantial warmth without the heaviness associated with traditional work hoodies. The raglan sleeve construction eliminates the shoulder seam, removing a common point of friction when carrying heavy loads or wearing backpacks. This hoodie acts as a versatile component in a layered workwear system, functioning perfectly under heavy Jackets during winter or as a standalone top layer in spring and autumn.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed with the user's comfort as a priority, the DX472 features an ergonomically shaped hood that fits naturally over the head without obstructing peripheral vision, adjustable via a robust drawcord. The full-length zip allows for rapid ventilation and easy on/off, while the integrated chin guard prevents zip abrasion against the neck. Storage is unexpectedly generous for a hoodie, featuring two contrast chest zip pockets and two front zip pockets, ensuring that items like phones, cards, and keys are kept safe and prevent them from falling out when bending over. The open cuffs and hem offer a relaxed fit that doesn't constrict circulation, making it suitable for all-day wear. This garment bridges the gap between sportswear technology and workwear durability. To create a fully coordinated look for your team, coordinate with Trousers from the DX4 range.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• General site labour and trades.
• Warehouse operations and driving roles.
• Corporate team events and casual Fridays.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The smooth surface of the fabric and the strategic placement of seams make this hoodie an excellent canvas for vinyl printing or embroidery. It serves as a high-visibility platform for your company logo while keeping your team comfortable.
