The Portwest S388 Hi-Vis Breathable Bib & Brace (Orange) is a high-performance waterproof over-trouser designed to provide maximum visibility, weather protection, and wearer comfort in demanding outdoor working environments. Ideal for construction, rail, highways, utilities, and industrial sectors, this durable bib and brace offers reliable protection from rain while maintaining breathability for extended wear.

Manufactured from high-quality 300D breathable polyester Oxford fabric, the garment features a double PU coating with a stain-resistant finish, delivering exceptional durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. The fabric also incorporates a PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco water-repellent finish, allowing water to bead off the surface to keep the garment cleaner and drier during use.

Designed for dependable wet-weather protection, the bib and brace is fully waterproof with taped seams, preventing water penetration through stitch lines. The breathable fabric construction allows moisture vapour to escape, helping maintain comfort during physically demanding tasks or long shifts in wet conditions.

For improved fit and flexibility, the garment includes adjustable shoulder straps with ergonomic quick-release buckles, allowing quick and secure adjustment. An elasticated back panel enhances comfort and mobility, while adjustable side openings and stud adjustable hems allow the wearer to customise the fit around work boots and layered clothing.

Practicality is enhanced with multiple utility storage pockets, including side pockets, a back patch pocket, and a double rule pocket, providing convenient storage for tools and essentials while working. These functional design features make the garment suitable for a wide range of demanding work environments.

High-visibility reflective tape ensures the wearer remains easily seen in low-light, poor weather, or high-risk environments, improving safety for workers operating near vehicles, machinery, or roadways.

The garment meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2 high visibility standards and is also certified to RIS 3279-TOM Issue 2 for rail industry use (orange version). In addition, it achieves EN 343 Class 4:3 waterproof and breathable protection, delivering a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs for dependable weather performance.
