Portwest ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Winter Bomber Jacket KL.3
When you need a work coat that ticks all the boxes, the Portwest ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Winter Bomber Jacket KL.3 ES463 delivers solid performance without compromise. This high visibility jacket combines practical winter protection with robust safety features, making it a reliable choice for outdoor and industrial work environments.
The jacket features a two-way zip with a storm flap secured by press studs, keeping the elements out when conditions turn rough. A fully fleece-lined collar and internal lining trap warmth close to your body, whilst the knitted storm cuffs seal in heat around your wrists. Water beads away from the outer surface thanks to the PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco finish, and taped seams provide an extra barrier against moisture penetration. An elastic waist and adjustable cuff closures ensure the fit works with your body, not against it.
Visibility is built in through the bio motion reflective tape pattern and reflective striping, helping you stay seen in low-light conditions. A concealed hood tucks away until you need it, and four exterior pockets plus a hidden phone pocket keep essentials within reach. The design also includes a hidden breast pocket and a chest opening for corporate branding if required.

- Waterproof taped seams and water-repellent outer finish

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
This winter work coat is built for genuine cold weather demands. The complete internal lining works alongside the fleece collar to lock in warmth, whilst the two-way zip means you can open it from the bottom for ventilation without removing the whole jacket. The knitted storm cuffs and adjustable Velcro closure fit snugly around your wrists, stopping cold air from creeping in.
The water-repellent finish and taped seams offer protection according to strict safety standards, so water runs off rather than soaking through. If you're working outdoors in winter conditions, the concealed hood provides extra coverage on demand, and the bio motion tape pattern helps others recognise your human form from a distance, which is genuinely useful when visibility counts.
Four practical pockets plus the hidden phone pocket mean you can keep tools, paperwork, and your mobile close at hand. The elastic waist and adjustable cuffs let you dial in comfort, so the jacket sits right whether you're moving between sites or standing still for extended periods.
