Portwest PW3 Hi-Vis Women's 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt T173

Looking for a high visibility sweater that actually works as hard as you do? The Portwest PW3 Hi-Vis Women's 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt T173 is a seriously smart mid-layer that brings together genuine warmth, flexibility and visibility when you need it most. The quarter zip design paired with raglan sleeves means you've got the freedom to move properly, whether you're reaching, twisting or turning on site. Built from robust polyester and elastane fabric, this zipped jumper features breathing technology that keeps moisture at bay, plus reflective striping that's heat-applied for durability. It's got all the practical touches you'd expect: thumb holes for a secure fit, an insulated rear pocket with a zip, and a chin guard for those tougher conditions. The Acti-Reach™ panel construction is genuinely thoughtful, minimising friction whilst maximising the range of motion in your arms and torso.

Key Features

• Breathing, moisture-regulating lining for all-day comfort
• Quarter zip with raglan sleeves for improved movement
• Heat-applied segmented reflective striping for visibility
• Thumb holes and chin guard with storm flap included
• UPF 40 rated fabric blocks 98% of UV rays

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

The fabric weight and composition on this high visibility sweater means you're getting a mid-layer that performs in genuine working conditions. The moisture-regulating lining is particularly useful if you're moving between indoor and outdoor environments, as it helps regulate your core temperature without that clammy feeling. The Acti-Reach™ construction is where this zipped jumper really shines if your role involves plenty of reaching or overhead work, as it actively reduces bunching and friction across the shoulders and chest. The UPF rating is a nice addition if you're working outdoors for extended periods, offering solid sun protection without adding bulk. Pair this with base layers underneath for colder shifts, or wear it standalone during milder weather. The thumb holes are genuinely practical for keeping sleeves in place, especially when wearing gloves or moving between tasks.
