High visibility jackets

When it comes to work in low visibility or high-risk conditions, signal jackets are one of the most important parts of protective clothing. They combine protective and reflective elements that ensure visibility both during the day and in dark or adverse weather conditions. Thanks to standards EN ISO 20471 and EN ISO 13688, these garments guarantee safety and meet the strict requirements of international norms.

What is their application in different professions?

Signal jackets are part of HV clothing, widely used in various fields. They are suitable for both men's and women's clothing and are actively used in:

• construction activities – for work around heavy equipment and in urbanized environments;

• road infrastructure – for maintenance, marking, and road repair teams;

• transport and logistics – for workers operating trucks, forklifts, and heavy machinery;

• emergency teams and security – for activities in night conditions or limited visibility.

These jackets not only protect but also provide security for workers in hazardous situations.

Types of signal jackets and their characteristics

The variety of models allows selection according to season, profession, and specific working conditions. Here are the most commonly used options:

• classic jackets – come with reflective strips on the torso and sleeves;

• softshell – lightweight, comfortable, and made with stretch fabrics for freedom of movement;

• models with TPU membranes – provide waterproofing and wind protection, withstanding a water column of several thousand mm;

• winter reflective jackets with high density (g/m²) – provide warmth and comfort;

• models with additional functionality – include multiple functional pockets, zippers, and buttons for greater practicality.

Each of these solutions is designed to guarantee a balance between protection and comfort.

Fabrics and manufacturing technologies

The quality of the reflective jacket largely depends on the materials used. Most often, the following are chosen:

• polyester – for durability and longevity;

• softshell – for lightness and comfort during dynamic work;

• TPU membranes – for water and wind resistance;

• combinations of stretch fabrics – allow greater freedom of movement.

Thanks to such technologies, these clothes combine functionality with high durability and reliability under various conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What distinguishes standard work jackets from reflective ones?

Signal jackets have reflective strips and meet visibility standards, making them mandatory when working in conditions with increased risk of injury.

What is the difference between a softshell and a classic HV jacket?

Softshell models are lighter and more elastic, while classic ones are more durable and versatile for different conditions.

What does "water column" mean in protective clothing with TPU membranes?

This is a measure of waterproofness. The higher the value (in mm), the better the protection against rain and moisture.

Are reflective jackets suitable for wearing outside of work?

Yes, they are often used by pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists who move around during the dark hours of the day.
