Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility X-pro hybrid jacket is a sophisticated piece of outerwear designed for professionals who require a high-performance layer that does not compromise on safety. As a Class 2 certified garment, it provides essential visibility while the hybrid construction offers a tailored approach to thermal regulation. By combining recycled Warmloft insulation on the chest and back with flexible softshell panels, this jacket ensures you remain warm where it matters most without restricting your range of movement.
Key Features
- Four-way stretch fabric: The use of an elastane-polyester blend ensures the jacket accommodates complex movements, reducing resistance during manual labour.
- Warmloft Insulation: This recycled synthetic fill provides high-level warmth without the bulk of traditional padding, maintaining a professional silhouette.
- Certified Visibility: Fully compliant with EN ISO 20471:2013 A1:2016 Class 2 standards, ensuring you are visible in hazardous light conditions.
- ID Reflection: Specially designed angled chevrons indicate the direction the wearer is facing, an essential safety feature for busy worksites.
- Storage Solutions: Equipped with five zipped pockets (two lower, two chest, and one internal) alongside a lower mesh pocket, providing ample secure space for tools and personal items.
Design & Performance
This jacket is engineered from a substantial blend of 93% polyester and 7% elastane, finished with a durable water-repellent coating. The choice of materials ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of outdoor work while shedding light rain. The heat-applied reflective tape is segmented to maintain the garment's natural stretch, avoiding the 'constricting' feel often associated with traditional solid tapes. Internally, the centre front zip is fitted with a chin guard to prevent irritation during long shifts, reflecting a design focus on user comfort over extended periods.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Regatta Hi-vis X-pro hybrid jacket is an excellent candidate for professional branding. We recommend embroidery for chest-placed company logos or staff names to achieve a proper, high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering. For larger, more complex branding across the back, our print services offer a bold and clear result that ensures your business remains recognisable from a distance.
Our expert in-house team in Telford has been handling workwear customisation since 1976. We ensure that every logo is positioned with care to maintain the integrity of the reflective tape and ensure the jacket continues to meet visibility standards.
Use Cases
This jacket is specifically designed for professionals in the construction, logistics, and engineering sectors. The orange colourway meets RIS-3279-TOM certification, making it a mandatory requirement for those working within the UK rail industry. Its lightweight yet warm construction makes it particularly suitable for site managers or tradespeople who frequently move between outdoor environments and vehicle cabs.

Practical Advice
The hybrid nature of this jacket makes it a versatile layering piece. It is designed with a professional fit; however, if you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath it, you may wish to consider moving up one size within the S to 4XL range. The softshell sleeves are designed to be slim-fitting to ensure they do not catch on machinery or equipment during use.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and visibility of this jacket, it should be cleaned using a cool machine wash. We recommend using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap to avoid damaging the water-repellent finish or the reflective tape. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and diminish the fluorescent properties of the fabric.
When drying, use a low tumble-dry setting or air dry away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays when damp can cause the high-visibility dyes to fade prematurely. For minor wrinkles, use a cool iron; excessive heat can damage the synthetic Warmloft insulation and the heat-applied reflective segments. Do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used can strip the technical coatings.
