Engineered for Performance

The Portwest S463 Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket is a technically superior garment designed for active roles where traditional long-line traffic jackets may inhibit movement. Fabricated from a 190gsm 300D Oxford weave polyester with a stain-resistant PU coating, this jacket is built to repel water, dirt, and oil, maintaining a professional appearance in gritty industrial settings. It achieves EN 343 Class 3:1 certification, guaranteeing waterproof performance through taped seams and a storm-flapped two-way zip. Crucially, for staff working near moving vehicles or in low-light logistics hubs, the EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification ensures the highest level of visual conspicuity. The bomber style cut is particularly advantageous for drivers and machine operators, as the shorter length prevents the fabric from bunching when seated, ensuring safety belts and controls remain unobstructed. This is a high-performance piece of PPE that merges regulatory compliance with practical durability.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Comfort is a defining feature of the S463, designed to support employees through long shifts in adverse conditions. The jacket features a padded lining that traps body heat, providing essential warmth without the need for excessive bulk. A fleece-lined collar adds a touch of luxury and prevents chafing against the neck, a common complaint with standard workwear. The ribbed knitted cuffs and hem provide a secure, draught-proof fit that stays in place during vigorous activity, such as loading vehicles or climbing ladders. The design also incorporates a concealed hood for sudden showers and a dedicated mobile phone pocket to keep communication devices safe and dry. By prioritizing ergonomic fit and thermal retention, this bomber jacket reduces fatigue and improves morale among security personnel, site managers, and delivery drivers who require agility and warmth in equal measure.
