Hi Vis Rain Jacket with 3M Reflective Stripe - Class 3 Safety Coat

In this review the Hi Vis Rain Jacket with 3M Reflective Stripe is evaluated as a practical safety raincoat for people who work outdoors in wet or low-light conditions. The bottom line: it is for workers who need a durable, highly visible waterproof layer that also carries tools and devices. The jacket earns praise for its 3M reflective tape meeting ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type Class 3 standards and its heavy-duty polyester 150D oxford PU coating, which together provide reliable visibility and protection in moderate to heavy rain.

Key Features

• Waterproof construction: Polyester 150D oxford with PU coating keeps the wearer dry in light to moderate downpours while remaining durable for regular jobsite use.
• High visibility: Two-inch 3M reflective tape arranged for 360 degree protection improves safety in nighttime and low-light environments.
• Functional pockets: Two large waist pockets and a medium left chest pocket provide organized storage for phones, pens and small tools on the go.
• Radio-ready design: Microphone tabs on the shoulders secure walkie-talkies and microphones for hands-free communication during shifts.
• Practical fit details: Split back hem aids walking and the dark lower panel helps hide stains, extending a cleaner appearance between washes.

Who It's For

The jacket is best suited for construction crews, surveyors, traffic control personnel, parking attendants, and emergency responders who require Class 3 visibility and waterproofing while working outdoors. Users who frequently work at night or in stormy conditions will appreciate the 360 degree reflective coverage and the roomy fit that allows layering.

People who need a lightweight fashion rain layer or a breathable warm winter parka should look elsewhere; this coat prioritizes waterproofing, visibility, and utility rather than heavy insulation or casual styling.
