Product overview
Designed for the most demanding environments, the Uneek Clothing UC804 Hi Vis Bomber Jacket is a high-performance safety garment engineered for visibility and thermal protection. Constructed from a heavy-duty 300 Denier polyester with a PU coating, this jacket is built to withstand the rigours of outdoor work while meeting stringent safety standards, including EN471 Class 3 and EN 343 for waterproofing.
Customisation: Professional Embroidery and Print
For branding, the UC804 is an exceptionally versatile canvas. MyWorkwear recommends embroidery for a premium, durable finish, particularly for corporate logos. This jacket features dedicated embroidery access at the hem, allowing our technicians to frame the garment without stitching through the inner lining, thus preserving the jacket's thermal properties. For larger back branding or vibrant multi-colour designs, heat-applied film or screen printing is highly effective. The 300 Denier weave provides a stable surface for print adhesion; however, care must be taken to avoid placing graphics directly over the 50mm reflective strips. Our in-house team, backed by decades of expertise since 1976, ensures that every logo is positioned for maximum impact while maintaining the garment's safety certifications.

Design, performance and durability
In real-world applications, the UC804 excels where durability is non-negotiable. The 300D polyester is highly resistant to abrasions and tears, common in warehouse and site work. The PU coating and taped seams provide a robust barrier against heavy rain, while the internal padding ensures warmth during long shifts in freezing temperatures. The bomber-style elasticated cuffs and hem help trap heat and prevent wind ingress, making it a reliable choice for cold-weather protection.
Measured performance
With a net weight of approximately 1.48kg, this is a substantial piece of outerwear designed for heavy-duty use rather than light activity. The fit is generous to allow for layering over work jumpers or fleeces. The garment is certified to maintain its reflective and waterproof properties for up to 25 wash cycles, providing a clear lifecycle for safety compliance monitoring.
Pros and cons
Pros: Excellent weatherproofing with taped seams; rail-compliant (Orange); easy branding access via the hem; high-visibility Class 3 rating for maximum safety.
Cons: The PU coating, while waterproof, has limited breathability (Class 1) compared to more expensive technical shells; the weight may be fatiguing for high-activity roles over long durations.
Use cases and industry recommendations
This jacket is the industry standard for railway maintenance (due to GO/RT compliance), roadside recovery, construction site management, and heavy haulage. It is specifically recommended for workers stationary or performing moderate activity in high-traffic or high-risk environments where being seen is the primary safety requirement.
Customisation process and quality assurance
Every UC804 customised by MyWorkwear undergoes a rigorous quality check. Our UK-based team reviews your artwork to ensure stitch density is appropriate for the 300D fabric or that print temperatures won't compromise the PU coating. This in-house control, a hallmark of our service since 1976, guarantees that your branding lasts as long as the garment.

Practical advice
To ensure the longevity of the waterproofing, avoid using fabric softeners during the wash as they can degrade the PU coating. When choosing embroidery, keep designs relatively compact to maintain the structural integrity of the front panels.
