Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-Vis Classic Bomber Jacket is an essential piece of safety equipment designed for those who require both high-level visibility and robust protection against the elements. This heavy-duty jacket combines the timeless bomber silhouette with contemporary safety standards, ensuring you remain dry and seen in challenging environments. Whether you are working on a construction site or managing logistics, this jacket provides a substantial barrier against foul weather while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- Safety Standards Compliance: The yellow and orange versions meet EN ISO 20471 Class 3, providing the highest level of visibility for high-risk environments.
- Weatherproof Construction: Stitched and taped seams throughout provide a complete waterproof seal, ensuring you stay dry during heavy rainfall.
- Thermal Insulation: A diamond-quilted lining paired with thick internal padding offers significant warmth in cold conditions.
- Robust Fastening: The heavy-duty front zip is protected by a studded storm flap, preventing wind and rain from penetrating the closure.
- Functional Storage: Features two large outer pockets with over-flaps and an internal patch pocket for secure storage of essential tools or mobile devices.
- Versatile Hood: A foldaway hood is integrated into the design, providing immediate head protection when the weather turns unexpectedly.
Design & Performance
Engineered from 100% PU-coated polyester, the outer fabric is designed to withstand the rigours of daily manual labour. This high-density material is resistant to abrasions and effectively repels water. The interior performance is driven by a quilted nylon lining that traps heat, making this a substantial choice for winter workwear. Elastication at the cuffs and hem—crafted from the same robust fabric as the jacket body—ensures a secure fit that keeps out draughts without sacrificing the wearer's range of movement.
For those working in the rail industry, the orange variant specifically conforms to RIS-3279-TOM standards. While the black and navy versions do not meet EN471 standards, they provide enhanced visibility for environments where full high-visibility certification is not a prerequisite but safety remains a priority.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This bomber jacket is an excellent canvas for your corporate branding. At MyWorkwear, we recommend embroidery for the chest area to achieve a traditional, professional finish that stands up well to the heavy-duty nature of the garment. For larger logos or company names across the back, our high-quality print process ensures your branding is bold and clearly visible.
Our expert team in Telford has been handling customisation since 1976, ensuring that every logo is applied with precision to maintain the integrity of the waterproof fabric and the garment's safety features.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for tradespeople, site managers, and recovery drivers who operate in exposed or high-traffic areas. The orange version is specifically required for UK railway workers. Given its substantial insulation, it is a primary choice for outdoor work during the autumn and winter months, or for night-shift workers who require maximum visibility and warmth.

Practical Advice
The jacket is designed with a generous fit to allow for layering over sweatshirts or thermal base layers. We recommend checking the sizing guide carefully, as the range extends from Small up to 6XL to accommodate all team members. If you are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor environments, the breathable PU coating helps manage moisture, but it is best paired with moisture-wicking base layers for maximum comfort.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and waterproof integrity of this jacket, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. Improper laundering can degrade the reflective tape and the PU coating.
Wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a synthetic cycle. It is crucial to avoid biological powders and bleach, as these harsh chemicals will break down the fluorescent dyes and damage the waterproof membrane. Do not wring the garment, as this can cause the taped seams to lift and compromise the jacket's ability to keep out water.
Do not iron or tumble dry this product. High heat will melt the PU coating and the reflective strips, rendered the jacket useless for safety purposes. Finally, observe the maximum limit of 25 wash cycles; beyond this point, the reflective materials may no longer meet the certified safety standards and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
