Portwest WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Fleece (CD807)

The Portwest WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Fleece brings together sustainability and high-visibility safety in a versatile mid-layer garment. Crafted from eco-conscious certified recycled materials, this fleece delivers warmth and comfort without compromising on environmental responsibility. The distinctive WX2 styling features innovative stretch panelling in key movement areas, creating a modern silhouette that moves naturally with the wearer. An anti-pill fleece finish ensures the fabric maintains its professional appearance through extended use, while the durable construction stands up to the demands of daily industrial wear.

Key Features

Eco-Conscious Certified Recycled Fabric This fleece is manufactured using certified recycled materials as part of Portwest's commitment to sustainable workwear. By choosing recycled polyester, you're reducing demand for virgin materials while still receiving a high-performance garment that meets professional standards. The eco-conscious approach extends throughout the WX2 collection, offering environmentally responsible options without sacrificing quality or functionality.

Anti-Pill Durable Fleece Construction The anti-pill finish prevents the unsightly bobbling and pilling that can make fleece garments look worn after just a few washes. This treatment maintains the smooth, professional surface of the fabric throughout its working life, ensuring your team looks presentable whether on day one or day one hundred. The result is extended garment life and reduced replacement frequency—good for budgets and the environment alike.

Innovative Stretch Panelling Strategic placement of stretch fabric panels in key movement areas delivers exceptional comfort and flexibility during physical work. Unlike traditional fleece that can feel restrictive during bending, reaching or climbing, this design moves naturally with the body. The stretch panels also contribute to the WX2 collection's distinctive contemporary aesthetic, setting it apart from conventional workwear.

UPF 40+ Sun Protection The fabric provides a UPF rating of 40+, blocking approximately 98% of harmful UV rays. For outdoor workers exposed to sun throughout the day, this built-in protection reduces cumulative UV exposure without requiring additional sunscreen application. This is particularly valuable for workers in construction, utilities, groundwork and other outdoor trades where prolonged sun exposure is routine.

Reflective Tape for Enhanced Visibility High-visibility reflective tape provides 360-degree conspicuity in low-light conditions, meeting EN ISO 20471 Class 3 requirements (sizes M and above). The tape configuration ensures workers remain visible from all angles, a critical safety feature for those working near traffic, plant or machinery.

Three-Pocket Configuration Practical storage is provided through a zipped chest pocket and two side zip pockets. The zip closures keep contents secure during physical activity—no more losing phones, keys or small tools from open pockets. The chest pocket offers quick access for frequently used items, while the side pockets accommodate hands or additional storage.

Adjustable Fit Features Elasticated cuffs create a snug fit around wrists that seals out draughts while accommodating gloves. The drawcord adjustable hem allows you to customise the fit around the waist, providing additional wind protection when cinched or a looser fit when preferred. These adjustable elements ensure the fleece works effectively across different body types and layering combinations.

Dropped Back Hem The extended back hem provides improved coverage when bending or reaching, preventing the garment riding up and exposing the lower back to cold or wind. This practical design detail demonstrates the attention to real-world workwear requirements that characterises the WX2 collection.

Extended Size Range Available in sizes up to 6XL, this fleece accommodates a genuinely inclusive range of body types. The extended sizing ensures all team members can benefit from the same quality and protection regardless of build.

Why Choose This Fleece?

The Portwest WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Fleece represents the practical convergence of sustainability, safety and comfort. The certified recycled fabric construction appeals to organisations with environmental commitments or sustainability targets, while the anti-pill finish ensures the investment delivers long-term value through extended garment life. The innovative stretch panelling addresses a common limitation of traditional fleece—restricted movement—creating a garment that genuinely supports physical work rather than hindering it. With certification maintained through 25 wash cycles, this fleece delivers consistent compliance throughout its working life. The extended size range up to 6XL ensures inclusivity across workforces, while the rail-compliant Orange option serves those in track-side environments. As a mid-layer piece, this fleece integrates seamlessly with other WX2 collection items, enabling coordinated workwear programmes that maintain both safety and professional appearance. The contemporary WX2 styling also makes it suitable for customer-facing roles where traditional hi-vis can appear overly industrial—ideal for corporate wear and branded workwear programmes.
