Portwest C813 Coverall: Kingsmill™ Engineering, Operational Ergonomics, and General Industrial Protection

The C813 is a full-coverage garment designed for industrial maintenance environments, mechanical workshops, and light manufacturing where mechanical resistance and protection against dirt are priorities. Made with Kingsmill™ technical fabric (65% polyester, 35% cotton), this coverall offers exceptional durability against abrasion and tearing. Its high-density construction ensures superior dimensional stability, maintaining the garment's shape even after multiple industrial wash cycles, positioning it as an essential work tool for operators requiring comfortable, functional, and durable protection.

Technical Features and Operational Capabilities

• Kingsmill™ Engineering: The 245g fabric combines the resilience of polyester with the softness of cotton. It is pre-shrunk to ensure the garment maintains its original size and fit, optimizing investment in the company's uniform inventory.
• Movement Ergonomics: Incorporates an action back and side elasticated waist. These features allow the worker to bend, stretch, or ascend platforms without experiencing restrictions or excessive seam tension, reducing mechanical fatigue.
• Technical Storage System: With an 8-pocket configuration, the design facilitates tactical organization: it includes zippered chest pockets for electronic devices, side access to reach innerwear pockets, and a specific rule pocket, keeping essential tools close at hand.
• Environmental Protection (UPF 40+): The fabric blocks 98% of ultraviolet radiation, serving as a necessary preventive barrier for personnel who alternate tasks in enclosed plants and outdoor maneuvering yards.

Safety Warning and Use Limitations

IMPORTANT: This garment is for general industrial use and protection against dirt and superficial abrasions. It is NOT flame-retardant, does not have antistatic properties (ESD), and does not offer protection against chemical or thermal risks (fire, electric arc, or molten metal). The use of this coverall should not be considered protection against electrical hazards (it is not dielectric). Always perform a Specific Risk Assessment to confirm that this garment is suitable for the specific work environment.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

• Washing: Machine wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Can be subjected to standard industrial washing processes.
• Bleaching: Do not use bleach or chlorinated bleaching agents, as they can alter the fabric's pigments.
• Drying: Tumble dry at medium temperature. Remove promptly to avoid permanent wrinkles.
• Ironing: Iron at a moderate temperature (maximum 150°C).
• Inspection: Before each use, check the integrity of the two-way brass zipper and the back seams. If the fabric shows deep cuts or loss of structural integrity, the garment loses its function of protection against contaminants and must be replaced.
