Huski Hi-Vis Mens Shell Jacket
K8201 by Portwest

Bad weather doesn’t usually send a calendar invite first. The Portwest Huski Hi-Vis Shell Jacket K8201 is built for workers needing lightweight waterproof protection, breathability and high-visibility compliance across unpredictable outdoor conditions. Featuring durable 300D Oxford fabric with breathable Breathetec PU coating, this hi-vis shell jacket delivers weather protection without the bulk of heavily insulated outerwear.

Unlike traditional waterproof jackets that become hot and restrictive during active work, the K8201 incorporates underarm pit zips, ventilated back panels and breathable fabric technology to help regulate airflow and reduce heat build-up throughout the day. The segmented reflective tape also improves flexibility and comfort during movement.
