Product Overview
The PW3 Hi-Vis Women's Hybrid Baffle Jacket is a technical solution for professionals who require a balance between visibility, thermal regulation, and freedom of movement. Unlike standard safety outerwear, this garment employs a hybrid construction that blends durable, soft-touch ripstop baffle fabric with strategic stretch panelling. This design is specifically tailored for the female form, ensuring an ergonomic fit that looks professional and functions efficiently on site.
Key Features
- Ripstop Baffle Fabric: The durable, water-resistant outer shell provides essential protection against the elements and resists tearing in abrasive environments.
- InsulatexPro Padded Panels: This advanced insulation traps heat close to the body, offering superior warmth without the bulk of traditional heavy jackets.
- Stretch Panelling: Integrated panels enhance mobility, allowing the wearer to bend, reach, and move without restriction.
- Double-Puller Side Entry Pockets: These long pockets are designed for easy access even when a safety harness is worn, providing secure storage for essential equipment.
- Extended Back Length: Offers increased coverage for the lower back, ensuring protection from drafts when leaning or working at various angles.
- Contrast Panels: Darker panels are strategically placed in high-contact areas to hide dirt and maintain a clean appearance for longer.
Design & Performance
The performance of the T171 is rooted in its material composition. The primary shell is a 100% Polyester Ripstop, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio. This is complemented by a two-layer contrast fabric consisting of a polyester knit bonded to a fleece interior, which provides a wind-resistant barrier while remaining breathable. The internal environment is managed by a smooth polyester taffeta lining and InsulatexPro filling, creating a lightweight yet effective thermal layer. With EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certification, the jacket is engineered to provide reliable visibility without compromising on the comfort required for a full day of active duty.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hybrid jacket is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is highly recommended for adding company logos or staff names to the chest, providing a sophisticated, professional finish that stands up to daily wear. For larger, bold branding on the back, heat-applied printing is an ideal choice, offering a smooth finish that moves with the fabric. Our specialist in-house team in Telford has been refining these processes since 1976, ensuring that your custom branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for women working in sectors such as site management, surveying, logistics, and technical engineering. Because it is designed for ease of movement and harness compatibility, it is a superior choice for those who are frequently active or working in height-restricted environments where visibility and warmth are both safety requirements.

Practical Advice
The ergonomic fit of this jacket is designed to be streamlined. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath; while the stretch panels provide flexibility, the baffle sections are fixed. For the best balance of warmth and mobility, wear this as a mid-layer over a technical base or as a standalone piece in cool, dry conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment continues to meet safety standards and maintains its technical performance, correct maintenance is required. Consistent care will prolong the life of the fabrics and the reflective materials.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and reduce the effectiveness of the water-resistant coating.
Do not use bleach, as the harsh chemicals will destroy the fluorescent pigments and weaken the ripstop structure. Similarly, this jacket must not be tumble dried; instead, drip line dry to preserve the loft of the InsulatexPro insulation and the shape of the garment.
Do not iron the jacket, as high heat will melt the technical polyester fabrics. Avoid dry cleaning to prevent chemical damage to the reflective tape. Finally, please note that this garment is certified for a maximum of 25 washes, after which the reflective properties may no longer comply with safety standards.
