Product Overview
The RWS Hi-Vis 2-in-1 Winter Traffic Jacket is a substantial and versatile piece of safety equipment designed for professionals who require high visibility in demanding environments. This jacket is constructed from a heavy-duty polyester fabric featuring a rugged 300D Oxford weave, offering exceptional protection against the elements while maintaining a professional appearance. The 2-in-1 design incorporates a removable lining, allowing the wearer to adapt to fluctuating temperatures, making it a dependable choice for year-round utility in the unpredictable British climate.

- A double PU coating provides a robust barrier against wind and rain, ensuring the wearer remains dry during prolonged outdoor shifts.
- The stain-resistant finish helps the garment repel oil and dirt, which is essential for maintaining the high-visibility properties and longevity of the fabric.
- Multiple integrated pockets offer ample storage for essential tools and devices, keeping your equipment organised and easily accessible.
- The heavy-duty 300D Oxford weave fabric is engineered for durability, resisting the tears and abrasions common in industrial work settings.
Design & Performance
Every aspect of this jacket’s design is focused on long-term performance. The shell is crafted from a high-tenacity polyester that provides a sturdy, substantial feel without restricting movement. The inclusion of a 100% polyester filling ensures excellent thermal retention for winter work, while the removable taffeta lining allows for a smoother fit over mid-layers. The double PU coating is not just for waterproofing; it also enhances the fabric’s structural integrity, ensuring the jacket maintains its shape even after extensive use in harsh conditions.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a cohesive and professional image, this jacket is designed to accommodate both embroidery and print. Embroidery is the preferred choice for company logos and individual names, providing a sophisticated finish that is both durable and visually striking. For larger designs or safety messaging that needs to stand out against the high-visibility orange background, our high-quality print options provide a vibrant and cost-effective solution.

Use Cases
This jacket is specifically engineered for those working in sectors such as road maintenance, logistics, and heavy construction. Its RWS tape configuration is particularly beneficial for personnel working in proximity to moving vehicles. It is also an excellent choice for outdoor site managers who require a garment that can transition from a full winter coat to a lighter outer shell as the workday progresses.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, particularly in this 4XL fit, consider the number of layers you intend to wear beneath the jacket. While the removable lining provides flexibility, we recommend ensuring there is sufficient room for comfortable arm movement, especially when wearing bulky winter knitwear or fleeces. The 2-in-1 functionality means this garment will serve you through multiple seasons, so a slightly more generous fit is often advisable for layering.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and waterproof integrity of this jacket, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions. A mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C is recommended. Exceeding this temperature can damage the double PU coating and reduce the effectiveness of the stain-resistant finish.
Bleach must be avoided at all costs. The use of bleaching agents will destroy the fluorescent orange pigments and the reflective properties of the tape, rendering the jacket unsafe for professional use. Similarly, do not dry clean the garment, as the solvents used in that process are too aggressive for the technical fabrics.
We advise against tumble drying or ironing this jacket. High heat from these appliances can melt the synthetic fibres and cause the reflective tape to delaminate. For best results, use a drip line drying method, allowing the jacket to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Please note that this garment has a maximum service life of 50 washes. Once this limit is reached, the reflective and high-visibility properties may no longer meet the required safety standards, and a replacement should be considered to ensure your continued protection on site.
