Portwest WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Hybrid Jacket (CD863)

Product Overview

The Portwest WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Hybrid Jacket combines sustainable construction with innovative design to deliver exceptional warmth, flexibility and weather protection. Part of the eco-conscious WX2 collection, this distinctive jacket features GRS certified recycled materials throughout, including a 2-layer softshell upper and lightweight baffle lower body that work together to balance insulation with freedom of movement. Contemporary stretch contrast panels and PFAS-free water-resistant technology make this a forward-thinking choice for environmentally responsible organisations.

Key Features

GRS Certified Recycled Materials The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification verifies that this jacket is constructed from genuinely recycled materials with full traceability through the supply chain. By choosing GRS certified workwear, you're supporting the circular economy and reducing environmental impact without compromising on performance or durability.

Hybrid Construction Design The innovative hybrid approach combines two distinct zones for optimal performance. The upper body features a 2-layer softshell bonded to micro polar fleece for weather protection and core warmth, while the lower body uses lightweight polyester ripstop baffle construction for thermal insulation without bulk. This intelligent design keeps warmth where you need it most while maintaining freedom of movement.

Texpel™ Splash Eco Water Resistance The PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco finish provides excellent water resistance while eliminating harmful "forever chemicals" from the manufacturing process. Water beads away from the fabric surface, keeping you dry during light rain and damp conditions. This environmentally responsible finish delivers protection you can feel good about.

Stretch Panels for Unrestricted Movement Strategically positioned Kingsmill Polyester Stretch panels in key movement areas deliver 4-way flexibility for demanding work tasks. Whether reaching, bending or climbing, these stretch zones work with your body rather than against it, reducing fatigue and improving comfort throughout long shifts.

Windproof and Breathable The 2-layer softshell construction blocks cold wind effectively while allowing moisture vapour to escape, preventing that clammy overheated feeling during physical activity. This balance of protection and breathability makes the jacket suitable for a wide range of working temperatures.

UPF 40+ Sun Protection The fabric provides UPF 40+ protection, blocking approximately 98% of harmful UV rays. This built-in sun protection is essential for outdoor workers spending extended periods in daylight, helping to reduce the risk of sun-related skin damage.

Retro Reflective Tape High-quality retro reflective tape provides excellent visibility in low-light conditions, helping you stay safe during early morning starts, evening work and reduced visibility situations. The tape maintains its reflective properties wash after wash.

Practical Storage Multiple pockets provide secure storage for tools, devices and personal items. The thoughtful pocket placement ensures essentials remain accessible without interfering with movement or creating uncomfortable bulk.
