Hi Vis Rain Jacket for Men Orange 5XL - Class 3 Waterproof

In this review we look at the Hi Vis Rain Jacket for Men in Orange 5XL, a long, high-visibility waterproof coat intended for workers who need reliable rain protection and nighttime visibility. The bottom line: this jacket is for people who spend long hours outside in wet or dark conditions and need a durable, roomy rain layer with reflective 3M tape. Its single biggest selling point is the ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type Class 3 level visibility combined with a polyester 150D oxford PU coating that keeps most users dry while allowing space for a mid-layer beneath.

Key Features

• High visibility construction: 2 in high visibility reflective tape placed for 360 degree protection improves safety in low-light and nighttime work environments.
• Waterproof shell: Polyester 150D oxford with PU coating sheds light to moderate rain and holds up to regular outdoor use.
• Functional pockets: Two large waist pockets and a medium left chest pocket provide secure storage for gloves, a phone, and small tools while working.
• Radio-ready design: Microphone tabs on the shoulders secure walkie-talkies or radios without interfering with mobility.
• Practical cut: Split back hem and longer length allow easier walking and coverage while a darker lower panel helps hide stains.

Who It's For

The jacket is best suited to construction workers, surveyors, traffic and parking attendants, and public safety personnel who need ANSI/ISEA Class 3 visibility plus waterproof protection. The generous 5XL sizing and roomy cut make it a practical outer layer for those who wear additional layers or need extra coverage in stormy conditions.

Those who need a breathable performance shell for intense activity or extended heavy downpours may want a dedicated breathable rain shell or layered waterproof system; this jacket prioritizes durability, visibility, and basic waterproofing over advanced breathability features.
