Portwest PW3 Hi-Vis Square Baffle Jacket (T165)

Product Overview

The Portwest PW3 Hi-Vis Square Baffle Jacket delivers outstanding warmth and visibility in a contemporary, stylish package. Part of the acclaimed PW3 High Visibility collection—known for its fresh dynamic designs, premium fabrics and modern fit—this jacket features distinctive square-quilted baffle construction that traps heat efficiently while maintaining a sleek profile. Ideal for cold weather work where staying seen is as important as staying warm.

Key Features

Insulatex Thermal Insulation Lightweight Insulatex thermal insulation is quilted throughout the jacket in a distinctive square baffle pattern. This construction locks in body heat to create an effective thermal barrier, keeping you warm without adding bulk or restricting movement. The result is all-day comfort in cold conditions, whether you're on a construction site, roadside, or warehouse floor.

Premium Hi-Vis Protection Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 (Class 2 in size S), this jacket provides the highest level of visibility for medium and larger sizes. The fluorescent background material combined with HiVisTex Pro segmented reflective tape ensures 360° conspicuity in low-light and dark environments. The segmented tape design flexes with body movement, maintaining visibility without restricting your natural range of motion.

Durable Ripstop Construction The outer shell uses robust polyester ripstop fabric that resists tearing and abrasion. This hardwearing material stands up to the demands of physical work while the Texpel stain-resistant finish repels dirt, oil and grime—keeping the jacket looking professional shift after shift.

Ezee Zip Technology The centre front features Portwest's innovative Ezee zip fastening system, designed for quick and easy operation even when wearing bulky work gloves. No more fumbling with stubborn zippers in cold conditions—the Ezee zip allows smooth, one-handed fastening when you need to layer up fast.

Warm Fleece-Lined Contrast Panels Strategic contrast panels feature a 4-way stretch fabric laminated to micro polar fleece. This combination provides additional warmth at key body areas while allowing unrestricted arm and shoulder movement—essential for active work tasks.

Practical Pocket Configuration Multiple zipped pockets provide secure storage for essentials: side zip pockets keep hands warm and valuables safe, while a concealed phone pocket protects your device from the elements. The zipped design ensures nothing falls out during physical activity or when bending and reaching.

Comfort-First Details Elastic-bound hem and cuffs seal in warmth and block cold air infiltration, creating a snug, comfortable fit that moves with you. The lightweight construction means you can layer effectively without feeling weighed down during long shifts.
