Design & Performance
This jacket is constructed from a substantial Polyester Oxford outer fabric with a PU coating, providing a robust barrier against wind and rain. For warmth, the interior features a medium-weight polyester wadding, secured by a 190T diamond-quilted polyester lining that ensures heat is distributed evenly across the torso. The design includes seamless watershed shoulders, a critical feature that prevents water from pooling and leaking through traditional shoulder seams during heavy downpours.
Performance is further enhanced by underarm ventilation eyelets, which assist in moisture management during physical exertion. The heavy-duty front zip is protected by a stud-closing storm flap, ensuring that wind and rain are kept at bay. The inclusion of 50mm sewn-on reflective bands using 3M Scotchlite materials ensures that visibility is maintained from all angles, even after repeated wear in harsh environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The RE18A is designed with customisation in mind. The strategic positioning of the reflective bands allows for full shoulder and lower back decoration without compromising the garment's safety certification. An internal back hem zip provides decorator access, ensuring that embroidery or print finishes can be applied cleanly through the outer shell without piercing the quilted lining.
We recommend embroidery for a refined professional appearance, particularly for company logos and staff names, as it offers a textured, high-quality finish that withstands industrial use. For larger, more vibrant branding, our transfer and direct printing methods are ideal. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideal for workers in the construction, civil engineering, and logistics sectors where Class 3 visibility is a mandatory safety requirement. The orange version is specifically required for those working on or near UK rail networks. It is also well-suited for site managers and surveyors who need a professional, insulated outer layer that can be easily donned over a suit or standard work trousers.

Practical Advice
The sizing of this jacket is quite generous to allow for layering over heavy knitwear or fleeces. If you intend to wear it over a single lightweight layer, you may wish to consider the fit carefully against our sizing guide. Please note that to maintain its effectiveness and safety certification, the jacket must be worn fully fastened and kept clean; dirt on the reflective bands can significantly reduce their performance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and waterproof integrity of this jacket, certain precautions must be taken during cleaning. Avoid using bleach at all costs, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the fluorescent pigments and the reflective qualities of the 3M tape, rendering the garment unsafe for use.
Do not iron this jacket. The high heat from an iron can melt the PU coating and damage the synthetic wadding and lining, which would compromise the waterproof seal and the garment's thermal properties.
Similarly, do not tumble dry or dry clean this item. Mechanical drying and chemical cleaning solvents can strip the waterproof coating from the polyester Oxford outer and cause the taped seams to lift. We recommend allowing the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to ensure it retains its shape and protective capabilities.
