Portwest EV4 Hi-Vis Softshell Bomber Jacket
The Portwest EV4 Softshell Bomber is precision-engineered for the modern professional who demands performance, protection, and style. Featuring revolutionary 3-layer construction, this jacket delivers exceptional breathability, waterproof defence, and windproof protection in one sleek, sports-inspired design.
Key Features
Superior Weather Protection Crafted from advanced RipShell fabric (92% Polyester, 8% Elastane Ripstop) laminated to a 100% polyester micro fleece lining, the EV4 delivers outstanding water resistance while remaining highly breathable. The eco-conscious Texpel™ Splash Eco finish causes water to bead away from the fabric surface—keeping you dry without harmful PFAS chemicals.
Built for Movement Every detail of the EV4 is designed around the working body. Pre-bent sleeves provide natural arm positioning, while the innovative ActiReach™ active armhole construction optimises your reach for tasks overhead or at awkward angles. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures unrestricted movement throughout your shift.
Enhanced Durability CorePro™ Armour reinforcement at the elbows and shoulders provides ultimate abrasion resistance in high-wear areas, extending the jacket's working life even in demanding environments.
Practical Storage Five secure pockets keep your essentials organised and accessible: side zip pockets for hand warming and storage, a zipped chest pocket for valuables, a dedicated phone pocket, and a convenient sleeve pocket. A built-in radio loop allows easy attachment of communication devices.
Comfort Details Ribbed cuffs and hem create a snug, comfortable fit that seals out drafts. The chin guard with storm flap adds protection when conditions turn harsh, while easy-grip zipper pulls make operation simple even when wearing gloves.
Enhanced Visibility Reflective trim strategically positioned throughout the jacket ensures you remain visible in low-light conditions, adding an essential layer of safety for early mornings, late evenings, or work near traffic.
