Maximum Visibility for Hazardous Weather - The Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket is engineered to keep you seen and dry when conditions are at their worst. Constructed from a heavyweight Polyester/PVC blend, this jacket provides a rugged waterproof barrier against driving rain while maintaining the durability needed for active duty. Its defining feature is the extensive reflective striping wrapping the chest, back, and sleeves, ensuring 360-degree visibility for crossing guards, construction crews, and security personnel working in low-light or high-traffic zones.
Key Features
- Heavyweight PVC/Polyester Shell: Durable composite material repels water instantly and resists tearing, offering superior protection compared to lightweight nylon shells.
- 360-Degree Reflective Safety: Features bold reflective stripes across the chest, back, and arms to reflect headlights and maximize wearer conspicuity in dark or stormy conditions.
- Detachable Storm Hood: Includes a snap-on drawstring hood that can be removed for clear weather or attached quickly when the skies open up.
- Ventilated Comfort: Engineered with a vented back and underarms to allow body heat to escape, preventing the "sauna effect" common in rubberized rain gear.
- Secure Snap Closure: The front utilizes a heavy-duty snap-button storm flap system that is easy to operate with gloves and won't jam like zippers in muddy environments.
Why It Matters
In a downpour, visibility drops to near zero. A standard yellow slicker isn't enough. The reflective bands on this jacket actively catch light, alerting drivers to your presence long before they can see your outline. Combined with the vented design, it allows for longer wear times during shifts without overheating.
How to Use / What Problem It Solves
Wear as an outer layer for traffic control or roadside assistance. It solves the problem of low visibility in bad weather while providing industrial-grade water protection that doesn't soak through.
