Description
Portwest C496 Madrid Mesh Executive Hi Vis Vest
The Portwest C496 Madrid Mesh Executive Hi Vis Vest is a breathable, feature-rich visibility waistcoat designed for supervisors, contractors and operational teams who need practical storage without the added warmth of a full solid-fabric executive vest.
Its cooling mesh upper torso improves airflow around the body, while the executive-style layout provides seven pockets, dual ID display, radio attachment points, phone and pen storage and a secure front zip. This combination makes the C496 particularly useful for warmer working conditions where staff still need easy access to everyday site essentials. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
