Portwest PW3 Flame Resistant Class 1 Hi-Vis Sweatshirt

If you're working in environments where heat and flames are a genuine concern, this Portwest PW3 multinorm sweater has been engineered specifically with your safety in mind. The inherent flame retardant properties won't diminish over time, meaning you get consistent protection wash after wash. What makes this high visibility sweater stand out is its ability to guard against radiant heat, convective heat, and direct contact heat simultaneously. The generous cotton content keeps you comfortable throughout your shift, whilst segmented reflective striping ensures you remain visible to colleagues and equipment operators. The knit construction features ribbed cuffs and a crew neckline for a secure fit, plus there's a practical elastic waistband that adapts to your movement. This isn't just about ticking boxes on a safety checklist; it's about having the right tool for a demanding job.

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

When you're exposed to heat hazards day in and day out, you need workwear that genuinely performs. This longsleeve high visibility sweater combines a high cotton blend with advanced protective fibres, delivering both comfort and security. The ribbed cuffs and crew neck sit snugly without restricting movement, and the elastic waist means the sweater stays in place during active work. The segmented reflective striping is generous enough that you'll catch the light from various angles, which is crucial on busy sites. If you work around electrical hazards or flash fire risks, the electric arc protection rating here is genuinely reassuring. We'd recommend layering this under a protective outer layer if you're in an environment with splash hazards, as the sweater itself focuses purely on thermal and visibility protection.
