R117A High-Vis Softshell Jacket – Result Safeguard

The Result Safeguard R117A High-Vis Softshell Jacket is a substantial, professional Class 2 hi-vis softshell designed for workers who need dependable visibility alongside warmth, weather protection and everyday practicality.

Built from a 310gsm three-layer bonded softshell, the R117A combines a durable polyester outer layer with a 5000mm waterproof, 3000g/m² breathable and windproof TPU membrane, backed by a soft polyester microfleece lining. The result is a comfortable outer layer that provides significantly more protection than a basic hi-vis vest or lightweight shell.

The jacket has a comfortable active cut with soft stretch fabric, a shaped longer back panel and adjustable shockcord hem. Reflective safety tape around the body and sleeves provides high visibility, while the fluorescent Yellow and Orange colour options make it suitable for a broad range of professional working environments.

The Fluorescent Orange version is also certified to RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2, making it suitable for relevant railway environments where this additional requirement applies.

With multiple zipped and internal pockets, including a dedicated phone pocket, the R117A is designed to function as a genuine working jacket rather than simply providing an additional hi-vis layer.

Why Choose the R117A for Your Business?

A Proven Softshell Design

The R117A is based on Result's established softshell platform, combining the characteristics customers expect from a quality softshell with certified high visibility.

That makes it a particularly straightforward choice for businesses that want one versatile outer layer covering visibility, warmth and everyday weather protection.

Substantial 310gsm Construction

At 310gsm, the R117A has a substantial feel without becoming a heavy winter coat.

Its three-layer construction consists of:

• 100% polyester outer
• 5000mm waterproof TPU membrane
• 100% polyester microfleece inner

This gives the jacket a useful balance between durability, warmth and weather protection.

Waterproof, Breathable and Windproof Membrane

The central TPU membrane is specified as 5000mm waterproof, 3000g/m² breathable and windproof.

That makes the R117A much more versatile than a simple unlined hi-vis jacket.

For workers spending long periods outdoors, having protection from wind and rain built into the everyday work jacket can make a significant difference.

Warm Microfleece Lining

The inner layer is made from 100% polyester microfleece, providing additional warmth and a softer feel against the wearer.

This makes the R117A particularly useful during cooler spring, autumn and winter working conditions.

Class 2 Hi-Vis Certification

The R117A is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2.

This provides businesses with a professional hi-vis outerwear option for environments where Class 2 visibility is required.

As always, the appropriate PPE should be selected according to the employer's risk assessment and the requirements of the specific working environment.

RIS-3279-TOM Orange Option

The Fluorescent Orange version also carries RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2 certification.

This makes the orange R117A particularly relevant to contractors working within applicable UK railway environments.

Plenty of Secure Storage

One of the R117A's strongest practical features is its pocket configuration.

It includes:

• Zipped chest pocket
• Two zipped side pockets
• Two large internal pockets
• Internal phone pocket

That gives workers plenty of space for everyday essentials without needing to rely entirely on trouser or tool-belt storage.

Designed for Movement

The R117A uses soft stretch fabric and a comfortable active cut.

That allows the jacket to move more naturally with the wearer during everyday work, while the adjustable shock-cord hem helps create a more secure fit.

Longer Back Panel

The shaped longer back panel provides additional coverage around the lower back while giving the jacket a more contemporary silhouette.

It's a small design detail, but particularly useful when workers are bending, reaching or moving throughout the day.

Reflective Tape for All-Round Visibility

Reflective safety tape is positioned around the body and sleeves, helping provide visibility from multiple directions.

The combination of fluorescent fabric and reflective detailing gives the R117A its certified high-visibility appearance.

A Strong Branded Workwear Option

The R117A has a clean, structured appearance that works particularly well as part of a branded company uniform.

Result identifies the garment as suitable for embroidery, while the current supplier information also supports professional decoration options.

For businesses where site staff regularly interact with customers, contractors or the public, this gives you an opportunity to combine PPE with a consistent company identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the R117A a Class 2 hi-vis jacket?

Yes. The R117A is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2.

Is the orange R117A suitable for railway work?

Yes. The Fluorescent Orange version is certified to RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2, making it suitable for relevant railway applications where that standard is required.

Always check the specific requirements of your railway project and employer before selecting PPE.

Is the R117A waterproof?

The R117A uses a 5000mm waterproof TPU membrane within its three-layer construction.

It therefore provides useful protection against wet conditions, although I would not position it as a replacement for specialist waterproof PPE where prolonged heavy rain or a specific waterproof performance requirement applies.

Is the R117A warm?

Yes. It has a 100% polyester microfleece inner layer, providing additional warmth and comfort.

Is the R117A breathable?

Yes. The membrane is specified as 3000g/m² breathable.

Is the R117A windproof?

Yes. The three-layer TPU membrane is specified as windproof.

How many pockets does the R117A have?

The jacket provides six useful storage areas: one zipped chest pocket, two zipped side pockets, two large internal pockets and an internal phone pocket.

Does the R117A have a hood?

No. The R117A has a stand-up collar rather than a hood.

Can the R117A be embroidered?

Yes. Result identifies embroidery as a decoration option for the garment.

Can the R117A be printed?

The garment can be professionally decorated, although the current supplier specification specifically recommends embroidery for the best long-term result.

For a garment that will receive heavy use and repeated washing, I would therefore recommend embroidery rather than positioning print as the default.

What sizes are available?

The R117A is available from S to 3XL, covering approximately 38" to 50" chest.

What colours are available?

The R117A is available in:

• Fluorescent Yellow
• Fluorescent Orange

The orange version carries the additional RIS-3279-TOM certification.

How should the R117A be washed?

The manufacturer's guidance should be followed carefully, particularly because the garment incorporates reflective safety materials and a technical membrane. The current product information recommends washing at 40°C and avoiding bleach, ironing and tumble drying.
