Portwest PWR

PORTWEST PWR High Visibility series is constructed from state of-the-art high performance waterproof and breathable Portwest Extreme fabric.

Using innovative technology, the base fabric has been engineered to provide a technical barrier against the elements providing the maximum waterproof, breathable and windproof protection which far exceeds the current highest Class 4:4 requirements for EN 343. In addition the microporous fabric delivers exceptional stretch characteristics ensuring outstanding flexibility for the wearer. The exterior fabric surface is treated with a Texpel finish to protect against water and oil stains.

How Does PWR Fabric Technology Work

The exterior fabric surface is treated with a Texpel™ SOS finish. Texpel™ SOS, Splash, Oil and Stain is a premium fabric finish that repels oil and liquids, causing them to bead up and roll off the fabric surface. The finish also helps release stains in the washing process, keeping garments looking cleaner for longer.

Extreme Waterproofness

High Tensile Strenght 12X Stronger Than Standard

Enhanced Breathability

PWR achieves over 11,000mm hydrostatic head, equivalent to over 11 metres of water column. (EN 20811:1992, ISO 811:1981 Determination of resistance to water penetration. Hydrostatic pressure test).
PWR exceeds the recognised standard requirement of 100N warp and weft EN ISO 20471:2013. The PWR robust construction ensures long lasting performance for the wearer in a wide range of industries.
The higher the g/m2/24 hours the more breathable the fabric is. (JIS L1099:2012 Method B1 Water vapour permeability). PWR achieves the highest rated breathability levels.

High Performance

EN 14360 Protective Clothing – Test method for ready-made garments is conducted by measuring fabric with high energy water droplets released from a height (Rain Tower Test) – Impact from above with high energy droplets (Rain Tower Test).

The principle behind the test is to assess the rainproof properties of complete garments and check design features.

Test garments are exposed to a rainfall simulation of 450 litres/m2/h, to mimic a cloudburst of torrential rain.

Critical areas are exposed to a rainfall simulation of 450 litres/m2/h, to mimic a cloudburst of torrential rain.
