Portwest MV70 Orange Modaflame Rain PPE Arc Jacket
Almost every industrial hazard has been considered in the construction of the Portwest MV70 Orange Modaflame Rain PPE Arc Jacket, as well as the additional hazard of terrible outdoor weather. The jacket shields the wearer from flames, molten metal, rain, mild chemical splashes, arc flashes, static-charge accumulation and ensures that you are fully visible in low-light conditions.
What Can the Orange Modaflame Rain PPE Arc Jacket Do for Me?
The Modaflame jacket has several helpful features. These include:
- Thermal Hazard Protection: High level of resistance against welding hazards, arc flashes and radiant, convective and contact heat
- Multi-Norm: Waterproof and rain proof, offers protection from light chemical splashes, prevents a build-up of static charge around the wearer
- High-Vis: Certified as highly visible, to the extent the jacket is suitable for use by railway workers
- Warm: FR cotton lined for added warmth, taped seams for additional protection from rain, detachable hood for optional further insulation
- Functional: Nine pockets for tool storage, hook and loop cuffs for secure fit, up-to-date ergonomic design for functionality
The jacket is made from Modaflame Rain, a 98% polyester fabric with FR coating and bonded with a modacrylic. The jacket owes its flame resistance, chemical protection, arc rating and waterproof qualities to this multi-norm fabric. Clothes in the Modaflame Rain collection are all designed for high visibility during day and night.
Is the Jacket Available in Any Other Colours?

What Do These Certifications Mean?
- EN 11612: This standard determines whether a garment offers protection against heat and flames, and whether this protection extends to convective, radiant or contact heat
- EN 11611: This standard shows whether an item of clothing is suitable for welding or similar tasks and will protect the wearer from heat and metal splashes
- EN 1149-5: This standard demonstrates whether a garment protects against electrostatic discharge in environments such as petrochemical refineries where there is a risk of explosion
- EN ISO 20471: This standard certifies whether an item of clothing is capable of visually signalling the user's presence, and assesses the durability of the high-vis qualities of the garment
- RIS-3279-TOM: This standard determines whether a garment qualifies as suitably high-vis for working in the rail industry
- EN 13034: This standard refers to a garment's ability to protect against spatters from dangerous liquid chemicals
- EN 343: This standard outlines the garment's level of protection against wet weather, the first class number referring to water resistance the second referring to breathability
- IEC 61482: This standard indicates the garment's ability to provide protection against the thermal hazards of an electrical arc
