Hi Vis Waterproof Work Wear

Waterproof Hi Vis Clothing for All-Weather Protection and Site Safety

Waterproof hi vis workwear is essential for anyone working outdoors in unpredictable or harsh conditions. Whether you’re operating on rail sites, highways, construction projects or industrial yards, staying dry while maintaining high visibility is vital for safety and performance. Waterproof hi vis garments use durable coatings, sealed seams and breathable liners to ensure water stays out without compromising movement or comfort.

Our range includes waterproof jackets, trousers, coveralls and over-trousers from trusted brands such as Portwest, Beeswift, Blaklader, Snickers, Helly Hansen, Projob, Pulsar, Result Safeguard, Dunlop and Yoko. From lightweight rain jackets to heavy-duty winter coats, every garment is designed to withstand continuous exposure to wet conditions while meeting high visibility standards like EN ISO 20471 and RIS-3279 for rail environments. Orange, yellow and contrast designs ensure visibility in low light, vehicle-heavy areas and challenging weather.

Waterproof hi vis jackets offer a reliable layer of protection in persistent rain or wind, with features such as storm flaps, adjustable cuffs, fleece linings, breathable panels and reinforced seams. These designs help regulate body temperature throughout long shifts while keeping workers protected from the elements. Waterproof trousers and over-trousers provide full-leg coverage ideal for wet ground, muddy sites or heavy rainfall.

For workers in fast-moving or hazard-led environments, waterproof hi vis workwear helps ensure visibility from all angles, especially around moving vehicles, machinery or confined spaces. Many garments include multi-pocket functionality, kneepad compatibility and stretch fabrics for improved movement during physically demanding tasks. With sizes ranging from XS to 6XL, there are suitable options for both men and women.

Waterproof hi vis workwear is also a practical solution for companies looking to standardise PPE across all seasons. By combining waterproof protection with high visibility, workers only need one outer layer rather than separate coats for wet or dry conditions. This makes these garments cost-effective while maintaining compliance throughout the year.

High Visibility garments are set in three classes

Class 3 : Highest Protection Level

Bands of retroreflective material shall not be less than 50mm wide. Minimum background material 0.8m sq.. Minimum retroreflective material 0.2m sq. In practice, to attain sufficient areas Class 3 garments tend to have long sleeves with a reflective band around the sleeve.

Class 2: Intermediate Protection Level

Bands of retroreflective material shall not be less than 50mm wide. Minimum background material 0.5m sq.. Minimum retroreflective material 0.13m sq.

Class 1: Lowest Protection Level

Where enhanced visibility is an advantage but for minimal risk/off road purposes only. Bands of retroreflective material shall not be less than 50mm wide. Minimum background material 0.14m sq. Minimum retroreflective material 0.10m sq.

So, which class should you go for?

The first thing you should be sure of is that your chosen garments have passed the standard. Each garment should come with a paper certificate in the bag proving that it has been tested to, and passed, the relevant standard. You should be wary of any supplier unable to produce valid certification from Satra or other testing company for their hi viz clothing. All of our garments include the certificate in the bag. If you are working on or near high speed roads or other high risk environments you must choose Class 3 long sleeve garments. If working on or near standard roads or medium risk environments then you'd need Class 2 at least. For other jobs where a level of visibility is useful but not vital, then Class 1 will suffice. In practice, because of economies of scale the price of hi viz Class 2 are often as low or lower than Class 1 so we find most customers go for the safer option.
