How we chose

Our team works with clients every day to test and wear this kit on real sites, and we listen to their feedback alongside what people say online and on review sites. We bring it all together so you get clear, honest information to pick the right product for you.

Using our supplier certification data, we screened the certified picks against EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 and read each one's class: 1, 2 or 3, set by the minimum area of fluorescent background and retroreflective tape (Class 3 is the most conspicuous). For rain we read EN 343:2019 water penetration and breathability classes (1–4 each; EN 343 is now succeeded by EN ISO 24232:2025), for example 3:1 (waterproof class 3, breathability class 1). Orange picks marked RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2 meet the RSSB hi-vis standard for the GB mainline railway.

Every pick is active and in stock, with clear photos and sizes available. Scores weight review quality (38%, a Bayesian average rating), review volume (17%), our product research (30%: trade bestseller signals, price against the market, colour range and verified standards), photo coverage (8%) and size availability (7%). We only show verified ratings and review counts, with links, we pick no more than two products per brand, and every review summary is written in our own words.

Buying guide

Read the EN 343 numbers

EN 343 shows two classes: water penetration first, breathability second. Class 3 for both is the highest level in the standard.

Breathable or PU

Breathable fabrics are more comfortable when you are active. PU-coated jackets are tough and very waterproof but can feel warmer when you are working hard.

Taped seams

Taped seams stop water creeping through the stitching. It is one of the most important details on a rain jacket.

Packable options

Lightweight packaway jackets live in a van or bag for sudden showers and still give you hi-vis cover.

Frequently asked questions

What does EN 343 3:1 mean?

The first number is waterproofing (Class 3 is the highest) and the second is breathability (Class 1 is the lowest). A 3:3 rating is the top level for both.

Do waterproof hi-vis jackets need reproofing?

Over time the outer water-repellent finish wears. A wash-in or spray-on reproofer helps rain bead off again; check the care label first.

Can I wear a waterproof hi-vis jacket over a fleece?

Yes. A shell over a fleece is a flexible way to stay warm and dry. Choose a size with room for the layer.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Plain items usually arrive in 2–4 working days to Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Branded items take 7–10 working days. Every order also comes with 28-Day Returns.

Can you add our logo?

Yes. An uploaded logo has a one-off £9.99 setup fee, then £3.99 per position per garment. A text logo has no setup fee and is £3.99 per position per garment.
