Material:
– Main fabric: 99% cotton / 1% carbon fiber, 350gsm with Modaflame FR finish. Some versions use 60% modacrylic / 40% cotton or 98% polyester / 2% carbon blends. The carbon fiber is anti-static.
– FR type: Inherent + treated blend. Modaflame is Portwest’s proprietary FR treatment — won’t wash out easily.
– Color: Hi-Vis orange body with navy contrast panels on cuffs, hem, collar, and chest pocket flap.
– Reflective tape: 2″ FR-rated silver reflective tape — double bands around torso and sleeves + shoulder patches. EN ISO 20471 Class 3 visibility.
– Hardware: Covered FR metal zippers + snap storm flap. No exposed plastic. FR Velcro on pockets/cuffs.
– Thread: Nomex FR thread on all seams.
Features:
– Stand-up collar: Navy inner collar, protects neck from flash/arc
– Concealed zip front: Full-length zip with snap storm flap — prevents arc exposure through zipper
– Radio loops: Two loops on shoulders for radio mics
– Chest pocket: Right chest flap pocket in navy, Velcro closure
– Side pockets: Likely has two lower hand-warmer pockets with flaps
– Adjustable cuffs: Snap closures to seal out sparks/debris
– Contrast panels: Navy on high-wear areas — hides dirt better than solid hi-vis
Stuff:
1. Dual standard: This meets both European EN norms and US NFPA standards. Common on global job sites.
2. Use case: Utilities, petrochemical, welding, any site needing FR + hi-vis + anti-static + arc flash protection.
3. Not insulated: This is a shell jacket. For cold weather, layer over FR shirt/hoodie or get the quilted version MV40.
