Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility Pro pack-away jacket (RG385) is a highly technical piece of outerwear designed for professionals who require immediate, high-standard visibility protection without the inconvenience of a heavy, permanent coat. This lightweight jacket is engineered to act as a reliable barrier against the British elements while remaining exceptionally portable. It is an essential item for those who need to transition quickly from a vehicle or office to a site environment where safety standards are paramount.
Key Features
EN ISO 20471 Class 3 Certification: This garment meets the highest level of visibility standards, ensuring you remain conspicuous to vehicle operators and colleagues in complex backgrounds and low-light conditions.
Isotex 10000 Fabric Technology: The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester Isotex fabric, which provides a high level of waterproof protection while remaining breathable to prevent the build-up of internal moisture.
ID Reflection Chevrons: The inclusion of angled chevrons is a sophisticated safety feature; they allow others to determine at a glance which way you are facing, significantly improving safety on active sites.
Integrated Pack-Away System: The jacket is designed to fold down into a separate bag with a hanger loop, making it easy to store in a glove box or kit bag when the weather clears.
Design & Performance
The performance of this jacket is rooted in its material composition. Utilising Isotex 10000 polyester, the fabric is both windproof and waterproof, designed to keep the wearer dry in challenging conditions. To ensure no water ingress, the jacket features fully taped seams, which seal the stitch lines where moisture would otherwise penetrate. The grown-on hood is equipped with adjusters, providing a secure fit that protects the head without obstructing peripheral vision.
Despite being a lightweight fabric, it offers substantial protection, conforming to EN343:2003 Class 3:3 for rain resistance. The orange colour-way is particularly notable as it conforms to RIS-3279/TOM standards when worn with appropriate upper body clothing, making it suitable for the stringent requirements of the UK rail industry. The absence of external branding ensures a professional, clean appearance that focuses entirely on safety and utility.
Why No Customisation?
This jacket is a specialised piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) with specific technical certifications. Adding embroidery or heat-applied prints can compromise the integrity of the Isotex waterproof membrane and may interfere with the certified visibility areas required for EN ISO 20471 compliance. To ensure your safety and the longevity of the garment's technical properties, we provide this item exactly as manufactured, without customisation.
Use Cases
This jacket is the ideal choice for site managers, surveyors, and delivery personnel who require a portable hi-vis solution. It is also a staple for rail workers requiring RIS-3279/TOM compliance and any professional working near moving traffic or heavy machinery. Its packable nature makes it a perfect emergency layer for anyone working outdoors in the unpredictable British climate.

Practical Advice
The jacket is designed with a generous fit to accommodate layering, available in sizes from S to 3XL. We recommend checking your chest measurements against our sizing guide to ensure the best fit. If you intend to wear this jacket over a bulky winter fleece or sweatshirt, you may find the upper end of your typical size range provides better ease of movement while working.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance of technical safety wear is vital to ensure it continues to provide the protection you rely on. Neglecting care instructions can lead to a loss of waterproof integrity and reduced visibility.
This jacket is machine washable, but you must avoid using biological detergents. The enzymes in biological cleaners can strip away the technical waterproof coatings and damage the polyester fibres. Always close all fasteners, including zips and adjusters, before washing to prevent the hardware from snagging or abrading the fabric during the cycle.
Do not use bleach, as this will permanently damage the fluorescent dyes and invalidate the safety certifications. The garment must not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned, as high heat can melt the taped seams and ruin the Isotex membrane. Finally, ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it back into its bag; storing it while damp can lead to mildew and fabric degradation.
