Why Choose the Portwest S488 Rain Bib Overall?
The S488 Hi-Vis Breathable Contrast Rain Bib Overall represents Portwest’s commitment to combining advanced safety features with practical design. This garment protects your lower body and chest against wet conditions while maintaining exceptional visibility in low-light environments—essential for construction sites, road work, warehousing, and outdoor maintenance operations.
Certified Safety Standards You Can Trust
Safety compliance isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. The Portwest S488 rain bib overall meets and exceeds industry standards:
- ANSI/ISEA 107 Class E certification (maintains visibility even after 50 washes)
- EN ISO 20471 Class 2 high-visibility standard
- EN 343 Class 4:3 X waterproof rating (WP 10,000mm, MVP 10,000g/m²/24hrs)
- 40+ UPF rating blocks 98% of harmful UV rays
These certifications ensure your team stays visible, dry, and protected in the most challenging work environments.
Advanced Fabric Technology
The S488 features premium 300D breathable polyester oxford fabric with a stain-resistant finish and double PU coating (190g). This technical construction delivers multiple benefits:
Waterproof Protection: Fully sealed seams throughout prevent water penetration, keeping workers dry during extended exposure to rain and wet conditions.
Breathable Comfort: Despite being completely waterproof, the fabric allows moisture vapor to escape, reducing internal condensation and maintaining comfort during physical work.
Eco-Conscious Design: The PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish provides extreme water resistance while meeting environmental standards. Water simply beads away from the fabric surface.
Durable Construction: The windproof and water-resistant 300D oxford weave withstands the rigors of daily professional use without compromising performance.
