The Portwest EV468 EV4 Hi-Vis Softshell Bomber is a sports-inspired high-visibility jacket for active work outdoors. Its three-layer stretch ripstop shell is waterproof, windproof and breathable, with a micro fleece backing for warmth.
Shaped construction and pre-bent sleeves help you reach, turn and twist freely, while armoured panels protect the areas that take the most wear. Ribbed cuffs and hem, multiple zipped pockets and a radio loop make it a practical everyday jacket.
