The Portwest ES428 ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket is a warm high-visibility outer layer for outdoor work in wind, showers and changeable weather. The durable shell is bonded to a micro polar fleece lining, giving you warmth and weather protection in one garment.
An eco-conscious water-resistant finish makes water bead off the surface. The fabric is also 40 UPF rated for sunnier days. Reflective tape helps keep you visible, and two pockets keep your essentials secure.
