The Portwest FR79 is a high visibility rain jacket for work where several hazards meet. It is independently certified to seven standards, covering flame, heat, welding, electric arc, static, liquid chemical splash, visibility and wet weather. It is also suitable to be worn in an ATEX environment.
The flame resistant treated shell is waterproof and breathable, so you stay dry outside while moisture from the body can escape. A flame resistant cotton lining adds warmth, and the shaped hood, radio loops and seven pockets make it practical for a full shift outdoors.
