Product Overview
The Warrior Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket is a midweight, high-performance garment engineered for professionals who require maximum visibility and weather protection in demanding environments. Constructed from robust 300D PU coated polyester with quilted padding, this jacket balances thermal insulation with functional safety. It is a reliable choice for those operating in low-light conditions or inclement weather, ensuring the wearer remains dry, warm, and highly visible to others on-site.
Key Features
- Certified High Visibility: Conforms to EN ISO 20471: 2013 + A1: 2016 Class 3, providing the highest level of visibility for maximum safety in high-risk areas.
- Waterproof Construction: The 300D PU coated polyester fabric combined with taped seams ensures you stay dry by preventing water ingress during heavy rainfall.
- Rail Industry Standard (Orange Only): The orange variant meets RIS-3279-TOM standards, making it suitable for use within the UK rail industry.
- Thermal Insulation: Integrated quilted padding and a full polyester lining provide necessary warmth during colder shifts without excessive bulk.
- Functional Storage: Features multiple pockets, including a dedicated right chest media pocket and an inner chest pocket, allowing for the secure storage of essential tools and communication devices.
- Adjustable Protection: A concealed hood with adjusters (detachable on the orange version) and a studded storm flap over the full-length zip offer versatile protection against wind and rain.
Design & Performance
The design of this bomber jacket focuses on durability and ease of movement. The 300D PU coated polyester outer shell is specifically chosen for its hard-wearing properties, resisting abrasions commonly encountered in industrial settings. The inclusion of elasticated cuffs and an elasticated hem serves two purposes: it creates a secure fit that prevents cold draughts from entering the garment and ensures the jacket stays in place while you are physically active.
Performance is further enhanced by the strategic placement of reflective bands. With two bands around the body and sleeves, plus additional bands over each shoulder, the wearer is visible from multiple angles, which is critical when working near moving vehicles or heavy machinery. The taped seams are a vital technical detail, ensuring that the 'waterproof' claim is backed by structural integrity at the garment's weakest points.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Warrior Hi-Vis Bomber Jacket is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. The polyester outer surface is well-suited for both print and embroidery, though each offers different advantages. Embroidery provides a traditional, high-quality finish that is ideal for company logos and staff names, offering a three-dimensional texture that withstands the rigours of daily wear.
For larger, more vibrant graphics or safety messaging, our high-quality printing process is recommended. This method ensures that bold designs remain clear and legible. Our in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of expertise since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your branding meets our exacting standards and does not compromise the jacket's safety certifications.
Use Cases
This jacket is primarily designed for high-risk environments such as construction sites, road maintenance, and logistics hubs. The orange version is specifically required for rail workers under RIS-3279-TOM. It is equally effective for utility workers and site supervisors who require a midweight outer layer that offers protection against both the elements and workplace hazards.

Practical Advice
The bomber style is designed to sit at the waist, providing excellent mobility for tasks that involve bending or climbing. When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear underneath; while the jacket is quilted for warmth, you may require additional room if wearing a thick sweatshirt or fleece during the winter months. Always ensure the reflective strips are not obscured by tool belts or other equipment to maintain the Class 3 safety rating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety certifications of this hi-vis jacket, it is essential to follow correct maintenance procedures. Regular cleaning ensures that dirt and grime do not obscure the reflective tape or the fluorescent pigment of the fabric, which are vital for your visibility on-site.
Avoid the use of biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the PU coating and reduce the effectiveness of the waterproof taped seams. If the waterproof layer is compromised, the garment will no longer provide the protection promised by its EN343 rating.
When drying the jacket, avoid direct heat sources such as radiators. High heat can damage the reflective materials and the synthetic fibres of the outer shell. Instead, allow the jacket to air dry naturally to preserve its shape and technical properties for as long as possible.
