Portwest DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie - Advanced High Visibility Safety Workwear

The Portwest DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie revolutionizes high visibility safety clothing with its innovative fleece-bonded fabric technology and contemporary design that meets EN ISO 20471 standards. This technical hi-vis hoodie combines mechanical stretch polyester with bonded fleece lining, delivering exceptional warmth, comfort, and unrestricted movement for modern workers in construction, rail, highways, utilities, and logistics sectors across the UK who demand both safety compliance and contemporary styling.

Revolutionary Fleece-Bonded Fabric Technology

The DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie features groundbreaking 100% polyester mechanical stretch fabric bonded directly to 100% polyester fleece, creating a single advanced material that outperforms traditional layered garments. This innovative bonding process eliminates cold spots and fabric separation while maintaining consistent insulation throughout the garment. The mechanical stretch properties ensure complete freedom of movement during physical work activities, while the fleece inner layer provides superior thermal comfort without bulk, making it ideal for year-round use in variable British weather conditions.

HiVisTex Pro Segmented Reflective Tape

Featuring heat-applied segmented HiVisTex Pro reflective tape, this high visibility hoodie delivers enhanced visibility without compromising comfort or flexibility. The segmented tape design allows natural garment stretch and movement, eliminating the restrictive feeling associated with traditional solid reflective strips. This advanced tape application maintains its reflective properties even after 25 washes, certified to EN ISO 20471 standards, ensuring long-lasting safety performance throughout the garment's lifetime while providing 360-degree visibility in low-light conditions.

EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and Class 3 Certification

The DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie meets stringent EN ISO 20471 certification requirements, with Class 2 rating for sizes S-M and Class 3 rating for size L upwards, ensuring appropriate visibility levels for various risk environments. This certification validates the garment's fluorescent background material and reflective tape configuration meet international safety standards for high-risk work environments. The certification remains valid after 25 industrial wash cycles, demonstrating exceptional durability and value for organizations requiring compliant PPE workwear.

RIS 3279-TOM Rail Industry Compliance

Orange colorway variants comply with RIS 3279-TOM Issue 2 requirements, making this hi-vis hoodie suitable for rail industry workers, contractors, and maintenance teams operating on or near railway infrastructure. This specific compliance ensures the garment meets Network Rail's stringent visibility requirements for trackside workers, providing confidence for rail contractors and their safety managers. The certification covers both the fluorescent orange fabric and reflective tape positioning required for rail environment visibility.

Intelligent Storage Solutions

The DX4 hoodie incorporates multiple secure storage options designed for modern workers' needs. Two zipped chest pockets provide easy access to frequently used items like phones, ID cards, and small tools while maintaining security during movement. Additional side entry pockets with zip closures offer generous storage capacity for larger items, work gloves, or personal belongings. The strategic pocket placement ensures contents remain secure during bending, climbing, and stretching movements common in industrial work environments.

Advanced Comfort Features

Engineered for all-day comfort, the DX4 Hi-Vis Hoodie includes thoughtful design elements that enhance wearer experience. The full-length front zipper features a rubber puller for easy operation with gloved hands, essential for cold weather or contaminated environments. The adjustable hood provides customizable coverage and fit, protecting against wind and rain while maintaining peripheral vision crucial for workplace safety. The contemporary athletic fit eliminates excess fabric that could create snag hazards while maintaining professional appearance.

UV Protection Technology

With 40 UPF rated fabric blocking 98% of harmful UV rays, this hi-vis hoodie provides essential sun protection for outdoor workers exposed to prolonged sunlight. This UV protection remains effective throughout the fabric's lifetime, offering year-round skin protection during outdoor work activities. The UPF rating makes this garment particularly valuable for construction workers, highways maintenance crews, and utility workers who face constant sun exposure during summer months while requiring high visibility protection.

Construction sites utilize these hoodies for enhanced worker visibility during all phases of building projects.
