Product Overview
The Limax Ripstop Winter Jacket is a sophisticated addition to the Portwest All Weather Protection range, specifically designed for professionals who require more than just a basic outer layer. Constructed from a high-tenacity ripstop fabric with a PVC coating, this jacket provides an effective barrier against the elements while maintaining a professional silhouette. The interior is engineered for thermal efficiency, featuring a warm fleece lining in the body and padded sleeves to ensure warmth without compromising the wearer's range of motion.
Key Features
- Waterproof Ripstop Fabric: The shell is engineered with a reinforced weave that prevents small snags from becoming large tears, ensuring the garment survives the rigours of a busy site.
- Integrated Fleece Lining: The polyester fleece body lining provides essential insulation by trapping heat close to the skin during cold weather shifts.
- Adjustable Storm Protection: A dedicated storm flap, combined with a pack-away hood and drawcord hem, allows the wearer to create a complete seal against wind and driving rain.
- Secure Storage: Zipped pockets provide a safe environment for essential tools and mobile devices, preventing loss or water damage.
- Personalisation Access: The jacket includes dedicated print access, allowing for seamless customisation without compromising the integrity of the lining.
Design & Performance
This jacket is built around a heavy-duty polyester ripstop shell. The ripstop construction is a technical weave that incorporates thicker reinforcement yarns at regular intervals, making it significantly more durable than standard polyester fabrics. This shell is PVC coated to achieve an EN 343 Class 3:1 certification, providing reliable waterproof protection for those working in unpredictable British weather.
Internal comfort is managed through a dual-material lining system. While the body utilises a soft fleece for maximum warmth, the sleeves are lined with a smooth polyester taffeta. This design choice is deliberate; it allows the jacket to slide easily over base layers and sweatshirts, preventing the 'bunching' that often occurs with fully fleece-lined garments. The hook and loop cuffs allow for a secure fit around gloves, further enhancing its performance as a piece of technical workwear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Limax Ripstop Winter Jacket is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, long-lasting finish on the chest or sleeves, perfect for company logos and staff names. For larger, high-impact branding on the back, our high-quality print processes ensure your design remains sharp and visible.
All customisation is handled at our specialist facility in Telford. Our expert team, backed by MyWorkwear's heritage dating back to 1976, ensures that every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the professional appearance your business requires.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideal for tradespeople and site managers working in construction, logistics, and facilities management. Its durable ripstop exterior makes it particularly suitable for environments where contact with rough surfaces is common. It is equally effective for transport staff who require a smart, uniform look that can withstand the cold and wet conditions of a loading bay.

Practical Advice
Given the insulated nature of this jacket, it is best paired with a moisture-wicking base layer or a medium-weight sweatshirt. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider the generous fit provided by the padded sleeves. Ensure the drawcord hem is adjusted correctly to prevent wind chill from entering the bottom of the garment.
Caring for your product
To maintain the waterproof integrity and the technical performance of the ripstop fabric, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using a normal process ensures the PVC coating remains intact and the fleece lining stays soft.
Under no circumstances should you use bleach, as this will degrade the synthetic fibres and compromise the waterproof barrier. Similarly, do not tumble dry this jacket; the high heat can damage the PVC coating and cause the fabric to lose its shape. We recommend drip line drying for the best results.
Do not iron this garment, as the direct heat will melt the polyester shell and internal padding. Finally, do not dry clean the jacket, as the chemicals used in the process are too harsh for the waterproof treatment and could lead to premature failure of the fabric's protective properties.
