Portable or portative?

Hello all,

My company manufactures small military loudspeakers, one can either fix them in the vehicle or clip them to it's clothes, would you say that they are portable or portative?

I personnaly would say portative but I'm not that sure.

Thanks everyone

Portable. I was surprised to find that portative is even a word. I've never heard it nor read it my entire life until just now.

(Clip to one's clothing, not it's.)

Although not a commonly used word, I think ‘portative’ means the same as ‘portable’.
