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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket have ventilation if it's waterproof?

The Rothco 3654-S features a ventilated back and underarms specifically designed to prevent heat buildup during physical activity while maintaining waterproof protection. The Polyester/PVC shell blocks rain and wind on the exterior, while strategically placed vents allow body heat and moisture to escape from high-sweat zones. This dual-function design is critical for first responders, road crews, and outdoor workers who need to stay dry from external weather while avoiding dangerous overheating during exertion. The 360-degree reflective striping remains visible even with the ventilation system integrated.

Can I remove the hood on the Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket for vehicle operations?

Yes, the Rothco 3654-S includes a fully detachable drawstring hood designed for operational flexibility. Law enforcement, EMS, and utility workers often need to remove hoods when entering patrol vehicles, operating machinery, or wearing helmets. The hood detaches completely via secure fasteners and can be quickly reattached when weather conditions worsen. The jacket maintains full 360-degree reflective visibility and waterproof protection whether the hood is on or off.

How does the Rothco 3654-S reflective striping compare to standard rain jackets?

Unlike standard rain jackets with minimal or rear-only reflective tape, the Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket features 360-degree high-visibility striping across the front, back, and sleeves. This comprehensive coverage ensures visibility from all angles—critical for roadside emergencies, nighttime operations, or low-visibility conditions. The reflective material meets safety standards for traffic control, construction zones, and emergency response, making it suitable for agency procurement and fleet deployment where standard rain gear would fail compliance requirements.

Will the Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket fit over tactical gear or duty belts?

The Rothco 3654-S is designed with a roomy cut and full snap-up front closure that accommodates duty belts, plate carriers, and tactical vests. The adjustable snap cuffs allow you to customize sleeve fit over gloves or wrist-mounted equipment, while the two front slash pockets remain accessible even when wearing a duty belt. At 2.4 lbs, it's lightweight enough to layer over gear without restricting movement, and the ventilated design prevents overheating during extended wear with heavy equipment.

What makes the Rothco 3654-S suitable for agency fleet procurement?

The Rothco Safety Reflective Rain Jacket is built for institutional durability with heavyweight Polyester/PVC construction, 360-degree ANSI-compliant reflective striping, and a detachable hood for operational versatility. At a unit cost of $23.90 and retail price of $65, it offers strong margins for resellers and bulk agency orders. The barcode (613902365407) and SKU (3654-S) streamline inventory management, while the waterproof, ventilated design reduces replacement frequency compared to standard rain gear. Ideal for police departments, DOT crews, and emergency services requiring high-visibility PPE.
