PORTWEST PWR High Visibility series is constructed from state of- the-art high performance waterproof and breathable textiles. 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 eZterior fabric surface is treated with a TeZpel finish to protect against water and oil stains.

WATERPROOF over 11,000mm

E X TREME WATERPROOFNESS PWR achieves over 11,000mm hydrostatic head, equivalent to over 11 metres of water column. (EN 20811:1992, ISO 811:1981 Determination of resistance towater penetration. Hydrostatic pressure test).

HIGH PERFORMANCE

EN 14360 Protective Clothing – Test method for ready-made garments – Impact from above with high energy droplets. Garments are placed over data sensitive recording manikins and exposed to rainfall simulation of 450 litres/m2/h for a minimum of one hour. All garments within the PWR series far surpass the widely recognised level.
