Work outerwear: what to consider when kitting out a team

The most important variable when selecting work outerwear is the working environment. Workshop staff working inside need something different from yard operatives, drivers getting in and out of cabs, or roadside workers with visibility requirements. Getting the spec wrong means kit that is either too heavy and restrictive for the job, or not warm or waterproof enough to be useful.

For outdoor workers near traffic, EN ISO 20471 Class 2 or Class 3 hi-vis outerwear is the standard. Class 3 gives greater coverage and is appropriate for higher-risk environments. For yard and workshop use without a traffic proximity requirement, non-hi-vis options offer more variety in weight and cut.

Waterproof rating matters more than people often realise. A jacket described as water-resistant will shed light rain but soak through in sustained wet weather. Look for a confirmed hydrostatic head rating if the work involves extended outdoor exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hi-vis rating do I need for my outerwear?

Workers near live traffic on public roads typically require EN ISO 20471 Class 2 as a minimum. Class 3 is required for higher-risk environments including motorway work. Check your employer's risk assessment and any relevant site rules before specifying.

What is the difference between a waterproof jacket and a water-resistant one?

A waterproof jacket is rated to a specific hydrostatic head value and will keep the wearer dry in sustained rain. A water-resistant jacket is treated to repel light rain but will wet through in heavier or prolonged conditions. For outdoor workers in a UK climate, waterproof is the practical minimum for anything beyond brief exposure.

Are the jackets in this range suitable for workshop as well as outdoor use?

Yes. The outerwear range covers both uses. Lighter softshell options work well in the workshop where you need freedom of movement. Heavier waterproof jackets are better suited to outdoor and yard work.
