Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing UC803 Hi Vis Road Safety Jacket is a substantial piece of protective equipment designed for individuals operating in high-risk environments where visibility and weather protection are non-negotiable. This heavy-weight jacket provides a robust barrier against the elements while ensuring the wearer remains compliant with stringent safety regulations. Whether you are working on the UK's rail network or managing a busy construction site, this jacket offers the durability required for daily professional use.
Key Features
- Conforming to EN471 Specification Class 3 and GO/RT 3279 Issue 8 (Orange only), this jacket provides the highest level of visibility for roadside and railway operations.
- The outer fabric is constructed from 300 Denier 100% Polyester with a PU coating, ensuring a tough, abrasion-resistant shell that stands up to the rigours of manual labour.
- Fully waterproof taped seams prevent moisture ingress, keeping the wearer dry during prolonged exposure to wet weather.
- Internal padding and lining offer thermal insulation, making it an ideal choice for outdoor work during colder months.
- Multiple functional pockets, including a dedicated phone pocket on the right breast and a zipped inner pocket, allow for secure storage of essential tools and personal items.
- An integrated hood with a drawcord is cleverly stowed under the collar, providing versatile protection that can be deployed as needed.
Design & Performance
The construction of the UC803 focuses on longevity and reliability. The 300 Denier outer fabric is a particularly sturdy material, chosen for its ability to resist tears and snags in industrial settings. The inclusion of two retro-reflective strips stitched around the body and arms, plus one over each shoulder, ensures that the wearer is visible from all angles under vehicle headlights or site lighting.
Performance is further enhanced by the PU coating, which creates a dependable waterproof barrier. Because the seams are taped, the common weak points in waterproof garments are sealed, ensuring that rain does not seep through the stitching. The jacket is designed with a generous fit to accommodate layers, while the padded lining ensures comfort without restricting movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This jacket is well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred method for adding company logos or staff names to the chest area, providing a professional and permanent finish that withstands regular laundering. To facilitate this, the jacket includes specific embroidery access at the hem, ensuring the lining remains intact and the finish is clean.
For larger, high-impact branding or safety messaging on the back, heat-applied printing is an excellent alternative. Our expert team at MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques since 1976 at our facility in Telford, ensuring that every garment meets our high standards for clarity and durability.
Use Cases
The orange variant of this jacket is specifically certified for the rail industry, making it essential for trackside workers. Beyond the railway, it is an excellent choice for motorway maintenance crews, recovery drivers, and site supervisors who require maximum visibility and protection from the British weather. Its substantial build makes it particularly effective for winter shifts and night-time operations.

Practical Advice
Given that this is a padded and lined jacket, it provides significant warmth on its own. We recommend considering your typical layering system when selecting a size; if you intend to wear a heavy sweatshirt underneath, ensure you have sufficient room for movement. Always check that the reflective strips are not obscured by other equipment, such as tool belts, to maintain full safety compliance.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and waterproof integrity of this jacket, it is essential to follow the recommended care guidelines. We suggest a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures or using aggressive detergents can degrade the PU coating and the retro-reflective tape, eventually reducing the garment's effectiveness in low-light conditions.
This garment is rated for up to 25 washes while maintaining its certification standards. Avoid using bleach, as this will damage the polyester fibres and the fluorescent pigment. When drying, avoid high heat sources which can warp the reflective materials; air drying is the most effective way to preserve the jacket’s structure and safety features.
