Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility Hi-vis two-tone thermal jacket is a technically advanced garment designed for professionals who refuse to choose between safety compliance and physical mobility. This jacket provides a streamlined alternative to bulky traditional outerwear, utilizing a lightweight four-way stretch fabric that moves with the wearer. It is engineered to keep you warm in colder conditions without the restrictive weight often associated with thermal gear, while ensuring you remain clearly visible to colleagues and vehicle operators.
Key Features
- Certified Visibility: This jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 A1:2016 Class 2, ensuring you meet essential safety requirements on site. The orange colourway also meets RIS-3279-TOM standards for use in the rail industry.
- Warmloft Insulation: The lightweight synthetic insulation provides excellent thermal retention, keeping your core temperature stable during long shifts in the cold.
- Water-Repellent Finish: The outer fabric features a durable water-repellent treatment, causing light rain to bead and roll off the surface rather than soaking into the fibres.
- Secure Storage: Equipped with a zipped chest pocket, two lower zipped pockets, and an internal pocket, providing ample space to secure tools, mobile devices, and personal items.
- Two-Tone Design: Darker contrast panels are strategically placed in areas prone to dirt, helping the garment maintain a cleaner, more professional appearance for longer between washes.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 93% polyester and 7% elastane is the secret behind this jacket's superior performance. The inclusion of elastane allows for a true four-way stretch, which is vital for tradespeople who frequently reach, bend, or climb. Unlike rigid safety jackets, this garment adapts to your movements, reducing fatigue and the risk of fabric strain.
The fleece-lined collar provides immediate comfort against the skin and helps to trap heat at the neck, while the stretch binding to the armholes ensures a snug fit that prevents draughts from entering. It is a well-engineered piece of equipment that balances the need for protection with the necessity of comfort.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is an excellent candidate for customisation, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your corporate branding. It features a concealed inner zip specifically designed for embroidery access, allowing our technicians to apply your logo to the outer fabric without compromising the internal lining.
Embroidery is highly recommended for a professional and long-lasting finish, particularly for company logos or staff names. If you require larger, more vibrant graphics for high-impact branding, our printing services are equally effective on this fabric. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for site managers, surveyors, and logistics professionals who transition between vehicles and outdoor environments. The orange variant is specifically required for rail workers under RIS-3279-TOM regulations. Its lightweight nature also makes it a preferred choice for warehouse staff working in chilled environments who require high visibility and thermal protection without the bulk of a heavy parka.

Practical Advice
This jacket is designed as a streamlined thermal layer. For those working in particularly harsh winter conditions, it serves as an excellent mid-layer beneath a heavier waterproof shell. The sizing ranges from Small to 4XL, catering to a wide variety of body types; we recommend checking your chest measurements against our sizing guide to ensure the best fit for movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety certifications of this jacket, it is important to follow the care instructions meticulously. Neglecting these can lead to a degradation of the reflective properties and the water-repellent finish.
We recommend a mild wash with a low spin cycle. Washing the garment inside out will protect the reflective tape and any custom embroidery from abrasion against the machine drum. Ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to prevent snagging the stretch fabric.
Do not use bleach, as this will destroy the high-visibility pigments and weaken the synthetic fibres. The jacket should not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned, as excessive heat can damage the insulation and the technical outer fabric. Always store the jacket away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV degradation of the fluorescent colours, and never store it while damp to avoid the growth of mildew.
