PORTWEST PWR High Visibility series is constructed from state of- the-art high performance waterproof and breathable Portwest Extreme fabric. Using innovative technology, the base fabric has been engineered to provide a technical barrier against the elements providing the maximum waterproof, breathable and windproof protection which far exceeds the current highest Class 3:3 requirements for EN 343. In addition the microporous fabric delivers exceptional stretch characteristics ensuring outstanding flexibility for the wearer. The exterior fabric surface is treated with a Texpel finish to protect against water and oil stains.
