Portwest Hi-Vis Winter Jacket

Name: Portwest Hi-Vis Winter Jacket
Brand: Portwest
SKU: BA182-M
Availability: OutOfStock

The Portwest Hi-Vis Winter Jacket is a heavy-duty, high-visibility outer layer designed for people working outdoors in cold or wet conditions. It combines wind and water resistance with a fully padded, lined construction intended to retain body heat during extended outdoor shifts.

In outdoor hospitality and catering environments — events catering, market stalls, festival kitchens, and external food service — staff are frequently exposed to cold, wind, and rain during long service periods. This jacket is built to handle those conditions reliably, with ribbed cuffs to seal out draughts, a drawstring hood, and a studded storm flap that gives meaningful protection when rain sets in. The internal chest pocket keeps essentials dry and accessible without needing to remove the jacket.

Internal chest pocket keeps documents or devices dry during shifts

This is a practical choice for outdoor catering and event hospitality staff who need a reliable winter layer that also meets hi-vis requirements. It is less suited to kitchen environments or indoor use, where hi-vis outerwear serves little operational purpose.

If you are unsure about sizing or suitability for a particular working environment, the team is happy to help you choose correctly before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this jacket suitable for kitchen or indoor catering use?

Not ideally. It is designed primarily for outdoor use in cold, wet, or exposed conditions — such as events catering, market stalls, or external food service. For indoor kitchen environments, a standard chef jacket or fleece layer is generally more practical.

What sizes are available and how does the fit run?

The jacket is available in M, L, XL, and 2XL. As it is designed to be worn over base layers or workwear, the cut tends to be generous. If you are between sizes or regularly layer up during outdoor shifts, it is worth sizing up.

Is this jacket compliant with hi-vis requirements for outdoor catering events?

The jacket carries a high-visibility construction, but specific compliance requirements for your site or event will depend on the applicable standards and risk assessment in place. We would recommend checking those requirements before purchasing if hi-vis compliance is the primary reason for the purchase.
