Portwest Hi-Vis Contrast Raincoat 122cm

The Portwest Hi-Vis Contrast Raincoat offers exceptional protection for workers facing adverse weather conditions and low-visibility environments. With an extra-long 122cm length providing enhanced coverage from head to knee, this lightweight yet durable raincoat delivers outstanding value without compromising on safety or performance.

Key Features

Maximum Visibility Protection Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3—the highest level of high-visibility classification—this raincoat ensures the wearer remains conspicuous at all times. Strategically positioned reflective tape creates a bio-motion pattern that enhances recognition of human movement at distance, while contrasting lower panels help distinguish workers against varied backgrounds.

Superior Weather Defence Constructed from 100% polyester (190T plain weave) with a PVC coating at 200gsm, this raincoat delivers reliable waterproof performance. Taped seams prevent water ingress at vulnerable join points, while the EN 343 Class 3:1 certification confirms the highest level of foul weather protection—keeping precipitation out while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

Extended Coverage Design The extra-long 122cm length provides comprehensive protection that standard-length jackets cannot match. From shoulders to below the knee, this generous cut ensures workers stay dry even when bending, kneeling, or working in heavy, wind-driven rain.

Thoughtful Comfort Features A vented back yoke with eyelets promotes airflow and prevents overheating during physical work. The pack-away hood stores neatly when not needed, while inner elasticated cuffs seal out drafts and rain. The lightweight construction means all-day comfort without restriction.

Practical Functionality Deep storage pockets keep essentials secure and accessible. A radio loop allows easy attachment of communication devices, and a badge holder accommodates ID cards or site passes. The stud and zip storm flap provides double protection at the front closure.

UV Protection With a 50+ UPF rating that blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, this raincoat offers protection even on brighter days when rain and sunshine alternate.
