Description
The Portwest DX479 Hi-Vis Hybrid Softshell Gilet Bodywarmer is a high-visibility, insulated soft-shell gilet designed for enhanced movement, storage and professional workwear use.
Portwest DX479 Hi-Vis Hybrid Softshell Gilet Bodywarmer
The Portwest DX479 Hi-Vis Hybrid Softshell Gilet Bodywarmer is built for professionals who demand high visibility, insulation and freedom of movement in challenging work environments. It features a body-mapped design that strategically balances insulation with mobility, allowing wearers to remain agile and protected during active tasks. Because the gilet blends functional materials and modern styling, it suits outdoor workers, site teams and anyone needing reliable high-visibility outerwear.
Insulated Design Meets Flexibility
Portwest equipped this gilet with an Insulatex™ inner lining that traps heat and provides warmth without heavy bulk. The shell uses 100 % polyester rip-stop fabric while the lining and filling incorporate mesh and insulation fabrics respectively. Reflective HiVisTex Pro segmented tape wraps the body for 360° visibility in low-light conditions. The body-mapped layout places insulation where it matters most and stretch or lighter zones where movement dominates, delivering both protection and comfort.
Professional Storage and Visibility Features
The DX479 provides multiple functional pockets including zipped chest pockets, side-entry pockets and internal secure storage. A drawcord-adjustable hem helps improve fit and wind resistance. It also features a curved back hem for extra coverage when bending or kneeling and premium contrast zips for added detailing. The HiVis segmented tape meets EN ISO 20471 standards after 25 washes, which confirms compliance for high-visibility workwear use.
Workwear Engineered for Demanding Jobs
With its high-visibility orange/black contrast and reflective detailing, this gilet keeps the wearer visible even in shadowed or busy environments. The combination of lightweight outer fabric, insulated lining and flexible construction supports long workdays without compromising mobility. Whether workers are on site, moving materials or supervising operations, the DX479 delivers the features they need in one smart piece of outerwear.
