Portwest US491 Sealtex Ultra Hi-Vis Rain Jacket: Ultimate Weather Protection for Safety-Conscious Professionals
When it comes to high-visibility workwear that doesn’t compromise on comfort or protection, the Portwest US491 Sealtex Ultra Hi-Vis Rain Jacket stands as the gold standard. As an authorized Portwest distributor, TECHACS Safety Solutions brings you this exceptional garment that combines cutting-edge technology with practical design for workers who demand the best in all-weather protection.
Why Choose the Portwest Sealtex Ultra Hi-Vis Rain Jacket?
The Sealtex Ultra collection represents Portwest’s commitment to innovation in safety workwear. This yellow hi-vis rain jacket isn’t just another piece of protective clothing—it’s a carefully engineered solution designed to keep workers safe, dry, and visible in the most challenging conditions.
Unmatched Waterproof Technology
Constructed from 100% polyester tricot knit with PU coating (185g), the US491 delivers an impressive 5,000mm waterproof rating. The welded seams ensure zero water penetration, while the breathable fabric allows moisture vapor to escape at a rate of 3,000g/m²/24hrs. This perfect balance means you stay dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.
What sets this rain jacket apart is its PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish. This environmentally responsible treatment causes water to bead and roll off the surface, maintaining the jacket’s performance while protecting our planet.
Superior Hi-Vis Safety Features
Safety visibility is non-negotiable on job sites, and the Portwest US491 exceeds industry standards:
- ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 certification
- ANSI/ISEA 107 Type P Class 3 rating
- EN ISO 20471 Class 3 compliance
- Bio-motion tape pattern that improves recognition of human shape at distance
- Heat-applied reflective tape for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions
The strategic placement of reflective materials ensures 360-degree visibility, helping prevent workplace accidents and keeping teams safe during early morning, late evening, or nighttime operations.
All-Weather Comfort and Performance
The Sealtex Ultra Hi-Vis Rain Jacket delivers exceptional versatility through thoughtful design:
Breathable and Windproof Construction
The mechanical stretch properties of the fabric allow natural movement without restriction. Wind resistance protects against wind chill, while the breathable construction prevents the clammy feeling common with traditional rain gear.

Built for Durability
TECHACS Safety Solutions understands that workwear must withstand rigorous daily use. The Sealtex Ultra jacket’s durable polyester construction resists tears and abrasions, while the easy-clean surface can be wiped down to maintain a professional appearance.
