Hi Vis Safety Rain Jacket Class 3 - Waterproof Reflective Coat

Our review of the Hi Vis Safety rain jacket finds it a practical choice for workers who need reliable wet-weather protection and high visibility. Built from 150D polyester with an oxford PU coating and seam-sealed construction, this Class 3 jacket focuses on keeping the wearer seen and dry in moderate to heavy rain while remaining lightweight enough for all-day wear. The combination of 2 in reflective tape, multiple waterproof pockets and an inner mesh lining makes it a sensible pick for road crews, surveyors and utility workers who need both storage and visibility.

Key Features

• Class 3 visibility: Two inch reflective tape and high-visibility background material provide 360 degree visibility at night and in low light to enhance worker safety.
• Waterproof construction: Polyester 150D with PU coating and seam-sealed seams delivers WP10000 mmH2O protection suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
• Multiple pockets: A left chest vertical pocket, two heavy-duty waterproof hand pockets and an inner lining pocket give secure storage for tools and personal items.
• Comfortable lining: The interior bird's-eye non-woven fabric lining and inner mesh help breathability and make the jacket more comfortable during extended wear.
• Adjustable fit: Velcro cuffs, a drawstring hood and adjustable rain cap let users tighten the jacket against wind and rain for better protection.
• Radio-ready: A microphone tab on the shoulder secures a walkie talkie for hands-free communication on the job.

Who It's For

This jacket suits field workers who need a visible, waterproof outer layer-road crews, traffic directors, construction workers and utility technicians will value the Class 3 reflective coverage and practical pocket layout. Its lightweight polyester construction makes it appropriate for layering over work clothes without feeling bulky.

People who need ultra-breathable run gear for high-exertion activities or those seeking insulated cold-weather parkas should look elsewhere; this jacket prioritizes visibility and water resistance rather than heavy insulation or maximum ventilation for intense aerobic use.
