Revolutionary Carbon Fiber Heating Technology

The S557 Ultrasonic Heated Tunnel Jacket stands apart from traditional insulated workwear through its innovative battery-powered carbon fiber heated panels. These embedded heating elements are strategically positioned throughout the jacket to deliver targeted warmth exactly where workers need it most. Unlike bulky layering systems that restrict movement, this heated jacket maintains a streamlined profile while providing superior thermal comfort.

The jacket features three adjustable heat settings controlled by a convenient chest button, allowing workers to customize their comfort level based on activity intensity and environmental conditions. Whether facing early morning frost or working through extended periods in refrigerated environments, users can fine-tune their warmth with precision.

The heating system is compatible with a 10000mAh, 5V lithium battery with USB-A connection port, offering extended operational time for full work shifts. This standardized battery connection means replacement power sources are readily available and affordable. While the battery pack is sold separately, this design choice allows users to carry spare batteries for uninterrupted warmth throughout demanding workdays.

Superior Insulation Without the Bulk

Beyond its heating capabilities, the S557 delivers exceptional passive insulation through its InsulatexPro lining, which offers superior warmth without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. This proprietary insulation technology maintains body heat efficiently while allowing unrestricted movement—crucial for workers who need agility and dexterity in cold environments.

The jacket’s construction utilizes 100% polyester 300T microfibre with anti-static finish in the shell fabric, weighing just 65 grams. The 100% polyester lining at 1.5 ounces and InsulatexPro filling at 7.5 ounces create a perfectly balanced insulation system that protects against cold without causing overheating during physical activity.

This intelligent layering approach means workers can maintain optimal body temperature throughout varying activity levels—from stationary tasks to more demanding physical work—without constantly adjusting clothing layers.

Advanced Water and Wind Resistance

Cold weather often arrives alongside rain, sleet, and biting winds, making water resistance as critical as insulation. The S557 addresses this challenge through multiple innovative features that create a formidable barrier against the elements.

The jacket incorporates heat-sealed seams that increase water and wind resistance far beyond traditionally stitched construction. This ultrasonic welding technology creates watertight seals at critical junctions, preventing moisture infiltration that can quickly compromise warmth and comfort.

Additionally, the S557 features an extremely water-resistant PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish. This advanced treatment causes water to bead and roll off the fabric surface rather than soaking in. Importantly, this water resistance is achieved without per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), addressing growing environmental and health concerns while maintaining performance.

The combination of heat-sealed baffle fabric, sealed seams, and water-repellent finish creates comprehensive protection that keeps workers dry and warm even in persistent wet conditions.

Thoughtful Design Features for Real-World Use

Professional workwear must perform reliably in demanding conditions while offering practical features that enhance usability. The S557 delivers on both fronts with carefully considered design elements:

Storage and Organization

The jacket provides three pockets for ample storage, including zipped pockets that secure valuable items, tools, and personal belongings. Easy-grip pullers are attached to all zips, making operation simple even with gloved hands or cold-stiffened fingers.

Comfort and Fit Adjustability

An elasticated cuff design creates a secure fit that prevents cold air infiltration at the wrists, while a drawcord adjustable waist allows users to customize fit for optimal comfort and weather sealing. These adjustable features ensure the jacket accommodates various body types and allows fitting over additional base layers when needed.

Protection Details

The chin guard with internal storm flap provides extra comfort and protection for the vulnerable neck area, preventing zip irritation while blocking wind and moisture from entering through the front closure. The front zip opening ensures easy access and ventilation control when conditions moderate.

Compliance, Durability, and Professional Standards

As part of Portwest’s All Weather Protection collection, the S557 undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it withstands the demands of everyday professional wear. Each garment is manufactured using high-quality materials and advanced construction techniques that deliver total satisfaction wear after wear.

The jacket’s anti-static finish addresses electrostatic discharge concerns in sensitive work environments, while the durable polyester construction resists tears, abrasions, and the general wear that quickly degrades lesser garments.

For businesses seeking compliant workwear that meets safety standards while providing exceptional performance, the S557 represents an investment in worker comfort and productivity. The jacket’s thoughtful engineering ensures it transitions seamlessly between work and leisure applications, making it versatile enough for various professional and personal cold-weather activities.
