When safety is a priority, the Signal Hi-Vis Parka steps up as your go-to reflective jacket. Built to meet ANSI Class III standards, this hi-vis parka is engineered to keep you visible in the most challenging conditions. ANSI Class III certification ensures that the garment provides maximum visibility through a combination of color, reflective material placement, and surface area coverage. With its bold lime green fabric and strategically placed reflective silver striping, this parka enhances your visibility to drivers, coworkers, and other onlookers—even in near-total darkness or during heavy rain.
What Makes This Parka ANSI Class III Compliant?
- High-Contrast Lime Green Fabric:
The lime green color provides excellent contrast in environments where safety depends on standing out against your surroundings. Lime green is scientifically proven to be one of the most visible colors to the human eye, especially in dim light or inclement weather. - 360-Degree Reflectivity:
The parka features reflective tape strips across the torso, arms, and shoulders, ensuring visibility from all angles. This is critical for meeting ANSI Class III standards, which require full visibility in a wide range of positions and movements. - Ample Surface Coverage:
ANSI Class III mandates the largest amount of high-visibility material and reflective tape of all safety apparel classifications. This parka’s extended length and full-sleeve design provide maximum reflective coverage, making it ideal for high-risk jobs near roadways or heavy equipment.
Built for Weather Protection and Comfort
Beyond visibility, the Signal Hi-Vis Parka is designed to keep you comfortable in challenging weather conditions. Its waterproof polyester shell is seam-sealed to block out rain, while the windproof construction shields you from biting gusts. The polyester lining ensures warmth without adding unnecessary bulk, allowing freedom of movement whether you’re working on a construction site, managing a roadside emergency, or tackling a winter hike.
Additional weatherproofing features include:
- Adjustable Hood: Protects against rain and wind but can be stowed when not in use.
- Full-Length Zipper with Storm Flap: Keeps out wind and moisture while allowing for quick on-and-off wear.
- Elastic Cuffs with Hook-and-Loop Adjustments: Prevents drafts and keeps sleeves securely in place.
Thoughtful Functional Design
This hi-vis jacket isn’t just about safety—it’s packed with practical features for everyday use. Multiple pockets, including a spacious chest pocket and dual front hand-warmer pockets, provide convenient storage for tools, phones, or snacks. The black accents on the lower half of the parka are both stylish and functional, hiding dirt and stains that are inevitable during tough jobs.
Ideal Applications
- Construction and Road Work: Perfect for those working near traffic or heavy machinery, where visibility is critical.
- Emergency Response: Ensures first responders are seen and protected during nighttime rescues or stormy conditions.
- Outdoor Enthusiasts: Hikers, bikers, and runners can stay visible during early mornings or after-dark adventures.
- General Workwear: Excellent for warehouse or industrial environments where low-light conditions pose risks.
Durability That Lasts
Made from high-quality materials, this reflective jacket is designed to withstand tough conditions and regular use. The polyester outer shell resists wear and tear, while the reflective tape maintains its shine after multiple washes, meeting ANSI standards throughout its lifecycle.
So whether you’re braving a torrential downpour or navigating a busy worksite at dawn, the Signal Hi-Vis Parka is your ally for safety, warmth, and weather resistance. It’s built for functionality, but let’s be honest—it’s also a great excuse to own a jacket that’s as bold as you are.
