When you're working in environments where heat exposure is a genuine concern, this high visibility sweater delivers the protection and comfort you need without compromise. The Portwest PW3 Modaflame Knit HVO Class 1 FR Sweatshirt combines inherently flame retardant properties with a thoughtful design that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout your shift.
Built from a specialist blend featuring modacrylic, polyester, cotton, aramid and carbon fibres, this multinorm sweater protects against radiant, convective and contact heat. The fabric weighs 300g, offering substantial protection whilst remaining practical for daily wear. Class 1 high visibility ensures you're seen on site, whilst the round neckline, ribbed collar and cuffs provide a secure, comfortable fit. Heat-applied segmented reflective striping enhances visibility in low-light conditions, and the knitted hem sits perfectly against your body. UV protection rated at 40 UPF blocks 98% of harmful rays, making this suitable for outdoor and industrial settings alike. The fully elasticated waistband adapts to your movement, and the neck protector adds an extra layer of consideration for your safety.

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert
This sweater is engineered for professionals who refuse to sacrifice comfort for safety. The high cotton content within the specialist fibre blend creates a balance between durability and breathability, so you're not overheating whilst protected. The ribbed cuffs and collar work together to keep heat where it belongs-away from your skin-without feeling restrictive.
We'd recommend this for roles in welding, electrical work, oil and gas operations, or any environment where thermal hazards are present. The long sleeves provide full arm coverage, and the regular fit works well over standard base layers. The antistatistic properties mean you're covered in ATEX-designated spaces, offering genuine peace of mind on complex sites.
