High Visibility

Open High Visibility Catalog

This extensive range of high visibility apparel meets the stringent requirements in both design and construction, to ensure compliance with the latest ANSI/ISEA 107 high visibility standard. At Portwest, every roll of tape and fabric are tested to ensure they meet and exceed the ANSI/ISEA standard requirements.

5 Industry Leading High Visibility Fabrics

Portwest Glowtex® Triple Technology uses the latest innovation in light emitting technology to ensure the wearer achieves the highest level of protection in high visibility apparel. The revolutionary light emitting Glowtex phosphorescent tape charges in well lit places and emits light in very low or no light conditions – i.e. it glows in the dark.

Made with 300 Denier 100% Polyester yarn, this is a tough fabric for tough conditions. 300D 5.5oz fabric has superb abrasion and tear resistance. The polyurethane (PU) coating on the inside makes the fabric durable and waterproof and the outer has a water and stain repellent coating which helps keep the garment clean. 300D Oxford Weave is available with both a breathable (300D Breathable) and nonbreathable (300D Industry) Polyurethane coating.

Sealtex® Ultra is a highly breathable, high technology, PU coated fabric bonded to a flexible 100% polyester tricot knit. This 5.5oz Waterproof, Windproof, and Breathable fabric will keep you warm and dry in adverse weather conditions. Welded, waterproof seams keep rain and wind out while the durable, anti-fungal, anti-tear, flexible fabric can easily be wiped clean, allowing these garments to look great while lasting longer.

Portwest Cotton Comfort garments are manufactured from a fully ANSI/ISEA 107 certified 55% cotton, 45% polyester 5oz fabric with cotton on the inside for comfort and polyester on the outside for maximum durability. The cotton/polyester mix ensures that the garment is highly breathable and that a comfortable temperature is maintained at all times.

The Vestport™ range incorporates three fabric combinations including 100% Polyester full mesh, solid warp knit and half mesh/half solid. The fabrics are durable, comfortable, highly breathable and certified to the latest ANSI/ISEA 107 standard.

Quality Testing

The cornerstone of success is stringent quality control. Can you be sure the product you are wearing conforms to ANSI/ISEA 107? A certificate from a test house guarantees that the garment or fabric sent to the test house has attained the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard. It is not a guarantee that the bulk production meets the standard. Therefore, it is necessary that every roll of fabric and retroreflective tape is tested with highly specialized equipment which guarantees that all production meets the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard.

Fabric Testing

In our quality control laboratory we use the Minolta spectrophotometer to check every roll of fabric. This guarantees that the fabric used is fully compliant to the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard.
