Portwest CD898 - WX2 Hi-Vis 2-in-1 Pilot Jacket
General Information
The jacket provides certified high-visibility performance combined with thermal insulation through a detachable fleece lining and convertible 2-in-1 construction. The primary functional benefit is its adaptable configuration (removable lining and sleeves), allowing the garment to be adjusted to changing weather and workload conditions.
For specification review: verify the required visibility class for the site and note that classification depends on size (S: Class 2; M and above: Class 3), as well as potential rail compliance requirements for the orange version.

Benefits and Differences Compared to Similar Products
- 2-in-1 construction (detachable lining and sleeves) compared to fixed insulated hi-vis jackets where seasonal flexibility is limited.
- Zipped external pockets and multiple storage compartments compared to basic project jackets with reduced storage capacity.
- Texpel™ Splash Eco finish compared to untreated poly-cotton fabrics when light rain and splash resistance are required without full waterproof construction.
- EN ISO 20471 classification varies by size (S vs. M+) compared to models with uniform classification across all sizes.
Applications
Suitable for users, supervisors, and procurement in construction sites and temporary project-based operations (e.g. staffing services and short-term site work) where certified hi-vis PPE and functional storage are required. Applicable where compliance is defined by EN ISO 20471 visibility class and project-based use cycles.
Not suitable as dedicated rainwear for prolonged heavy rainfall, nor for environments requiring certified chemical, flame-resistant, or arc-flash protection without additional certification. Clarification: for rail environments requiring orange compliance, select the orange-black version and confirm RIS 3279 TOM requirements in project specifications.
