Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Extreme Rain Bib and Brace is a high-specification garment engineered for professionals who require superior protection against the elements without sacrificing mobility. Part of the Portwest Extreme range, this orange bib and brace is constructed from advanced stretch fabric that ensures the wearer remains dry and comfortable even in the most demanding weather conditions. It serves as a substantial protective layer that integrates seamlessly with existing workwear systems to provide a high level of security in hazardous environments.
Key Features
- Integrated knee pad pockets allow for the insertion of protective pads, shielding the wearer during ground-level tasks and increasing the longevity of the garment.
- A two-way front zip and storm flap provide a versatile closure system that enhances weather resistance while allowing for easy access and temperature regulation.
- The double rule pocket offers dedicated storage for essential measuring tools, ensuring they are protected and always within reach on the job site.
- Adjustable bib straps allow for a precise, personalised fit, reducing the risk of the garment shifting during physical activity and ensuring all-day comfort.
Design & Performance
This garment is manufactured using Portwest Extreme stretch fabric, a material chosen specifically for its ability to move with the body rather than resisting it. This flexibility is essential for workers who need to climb, bend, or reach throughout their shift. The fabric is not only waterproof but also highly breathable, achieving a certified EN343 Class 4:3 rating. This ensures that while external moisture is kept out, internal perspiration is allowed to escape, preventing the discomfort often associated with inferior waterproof gear. The substantial weight of the garment reflects its robust construction and technical durability.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a cohesive and professional image, the Hi-Vis Extreme Rain Bib and Brace is suitable for both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery is an excellent choice for company logos or staff names, providing a durable and professional finish that withstands the rigours of industrial work. For larger, high-impact branding that needs to be seen from a distance, our printing services offer a bold and clear alternative. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This bib and brace is designed for outdoor professionals working in construction, utilities, and transport sectors. Its high-visibility orange colour and reflective properties make it indispensable for environments where visibility is a safety priority. It is ideally suited for use alongside the Extreme Parka or Extreme Bomber Jacket to provide full-body protection against heavy rain and wind during the autumn and winter months.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath. As this bib and brace is designed to be worn over standard work trousers, ensuring a comfortable fit will allow for maximum breathability and ease of movement. Use the adjustable straps to distribute the weight of the garment evenly across the shoulders to prevent fatigue during long shifts.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of your hi-vis waterproof gear is essential for ensuring long-term performance and safety. Regularly removing surface dirt prevents the breathable membrane from becoming clogged, which would otherwise impair the garment's ability to regulate temperature and keep you dry.
We recommend avoiding the use of biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these chemical agents can strip away the durable water-repellent coating and damage the reflective tape. Ensuring the garment is dried naturally away from direct heat sources will help maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and the vibrancy of the hi-vis orange, ensuring you remain visible on site for as long as possible.
