Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
This Portwest sweater is built for those who prioritise both safety and comfort at work. The soft knitted construction with brushed backing means you won't feel restricted or uncomfortable during long shifts, and the weight of the fabric provides enough substance to feel hardwearing without being heavy. The quarter-length zip gives you flexibility on changeable days, allowing you to regulate your temperature easily. Those side pockets with quality zip fasteners are genuinely useful for keeping your mobile or small tools secure. The reflective striping is strategically positioned for maximum visibility from all angles, and having it heat-applied rather than sewn means it'll hold up well through regular washing. For anyone working in construction, utilities, rail, or roadside environments, this zipped jumper ticks the boxes for safety without compromising on how it feels to wear day after day.
