Hi Vis Jacket FAQs (EN ISO 20471)

Are hi vis jackets waterproof?
Many hi vis jackets are waterproof or water-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor work in rain, wind and colder conditions. Product descriptions will confirm waterproof ratings and additional features such as insulation, padding or breathable linings.
What types of hi vis jackets are available?
This collection includes waterproof hi vis jackets, bomber jackets, traffic jackets, softshell jackets and padded outerwear for different job roles and site conditions. You can also browse specialist styles such as hi vis bomber jackets, hi vis traffic jackets, hi vis softshell jackets and two tone hi vis jackets.
Are hi vis jackets suitable for winter work?
Yes — many hi vis jackets are designed for year-round outdoor use, including padded, insulated and weather-resistant styles for colder working conditions. For lighter layering, many teams also use hi vis bodywarmers alongside jackets.
Can you print or embroider a logo on a hi vis jacket?
Yes — many hi vis jackets in this collection are suitable for custom printing or embroidery, making them ideal for branded workwear, company uniforms and site-compliant clothing.
Will adding a logo affect jacket compliance?
Logo placement is checked carefully before production to help maintain EN ISO 20471 compliance where applicable. Placement must not reduce required fluorescent background material or reflective tape coverage.
Which is better for a hi vis jacket — printing or embroidery?
It depends on your logo and the jacket style. Embroidery is often preferred for a durable stitched finish, while printing can work better for full-colour logos, gradients and detailed artwork. Read our guide: Print vs embroidery for workwear.
Where can a logo usually be placed on a hi vis jacket?
Common positions include the left chest, right chest, sleeve and back print area, depending on the garment design and the amount of reflective tape. Read our guide: Workwear logo placement guide.
What standard should a hi vis jacket meet in the UK?
For most workplace use, a hi vis jacket should comply with EN ISO 20471, which sets requirements for fluorescent fabric and reflective tape to help ensure visibility in daylight, low-light and night-time conditions.
What is the difference between Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 hi vis jackets?

Hi vis jackets are classified as Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 depending on the amount of high-visibility and reflective material used.

Class 1: Lower-risk environments
Class 2: Roadside and general site work
Class 3: High-risk areas such as highways and rail

The correct class depends on the job role and level of risk.

Choosing the Right Hi Vis Jacket for Your Work Environment

```

Selecting the right hi vis jacket depends on the working environment, weather conditions and level of risk on site. Workers in construction, highways, logistics, utilities and rail often require different jacket features such as waterproof protection, insulation or breathable softshell fabrics to remain visible and comfortable throughout the working day.

Most workplaces require garments that comply with EN ISO 20471 high-visibility clothing standards, which specify the amount of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape needed to ensure workers remain visible in daylight, low-light and night-time conditions. If you're unsure which level is required, our guides explaining EN ISO 20471 requirements and Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 hi vis clothing explain how visibility standards apply to different workplace environments.

Hi vis jackets are widely used across industries including construction, roadside maintenance, utilities and traffic management. In higher-risk environments such as rail infrastructure, garments must often meet additional specifications such as RIS-3279 rail specification hi vis clothing. Our guide to rail hi vis standards explains how these requirements differ from standard EN ISO 20471 garments.

Different jacket styles suit different working conditions. Waterproof traffic jackets are common for outdoor work in wet conditions, while hi vis softshell jackets provide flexibility and breathability for more active roles. Many teams combine jackets with other garments such as hi vis trousers, hi vis polo shirts and hi vis safety vests to create complete compliant uniforms.

Many organisations also choose branded hi vis jackets to maintain a consistent professional appearance on site. Logos can usually be added using embroidery or printing without affecting visibility compliance when positioned correctly. For further guidance on visibility standards, garment requirements and compliance, explore our articles covering when hi vis clothing is required at work, orange vs yellow hi vis clothing and how long hi vis clothing remains compliant.
