The Portwest S428 Hi-Vis 2-in-1 Softshell is a high-visibility layer for outdoor work in changing weather. Its three-layer fabric is windproof, breathable and water resistant, with a micro polar fleece bonded to the shell for warmth.
Wear it as a full jacket when it turns wet and cold, or zip off the sleeves for a bodywarmer when you need more freedom at the arms. The orange version suits rail work.
