R450X Printable Safety Softshell Jacket – Result Safeguard

The Result Safeguard R450X Printable Safety Softshell Jacket is a lightweight, warm and versatile Class 2 hi-vis softshell designed for workers who need certified visibility combined with greater comfort and weather protection than a basic hi-vis vest or lightweight jacket can provide.

Its 280gsm three-layer construction combines a durable polyester outer layer with a waterproof 8000mm, windproof TPU membrane and a soft polyester microfleece inner layer. The result is a practical softshell that provides warmth, wind protection and resistance to wet conditions without the bulk of a traditional heavy-duty winter coat.

Reflective bands around the body, sleeves and shoulders provide high visibility, while the contrasting black lower panels help conceal everyday dirt and grime — a particularly useful detail for workers operating in construction, infrastructure, transport and other demanding environments.

The R450X is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 2, while the Fluorescent Orange/Black version is also certified to RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2, making it particularly relevant to applicable railway work.

It is also specifically designed to be branded, with the tag-free construction making it suitable for direct print, transfer print and embroidery. Result advises testing inks and devices to ensure compatibility with the fabric before production.

Why Choose the R450X for Your Business?

More Than a Basic Hi-Vis Jacket

The R450X is a good choice when a simple hi-vis vest or lightweight jacket isn't enough, but a heavier winter coat would be excessive.

It combines:

• Certified Class 2 visibility
• Warm microfleece lining
• Windproof protection
• An 8000mm waterproof membrane
• Softshell stretch
• Zipped storage
• Professional branded appearance

That makes it a particularly versatile garment for everyday outdoor work.

Three-Layer Softshell Construction

The R450X uses a 280gsm three-layer construction:

• Outer: 100% polyester
• Middle: TPU membrane
• Inner: 100% polyester microfleece

The membrane is rated to 8000mm waterproofing and provides windproof protection, while the microfleece inner layer adds warmth and comfort.

This gives the R450X considerably more versatility than a basic unlined hi-vis jacket.

Warm Without Being Bulky

The microfleece inner layer provides additional warmth while keeping the garment relatively lightweight.

For workers who are active throughout the day, this can be preferable to wearing a heavily insulated winter jacket when the conditions don't require one.

Class 2 Hi-Vis Certification

The R450X is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 2.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of working environments where Class 2 high visibility is required.

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

Railway-Ready Orange Option

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

That makes it particularly relevant to contractors and businesses operating on or around applicable UK railway infrastructure.

This also gives you a useful opportunity to link the R450X with your other RIS-3279-compliant products, including hi-vis trousers, T-shirts and specialist jackets.

Reflective Bands Around the Body, Sleeves and Shoulders

The reflective design provides visibility around the body, with reflective bands across the torso, sleeves and shoulders.

This helps create a consistent high-visibility appearance from multiple viewing angles.

Black Contrast Panels Help Hide Grime

The black lower panels aren't simply an aesthetic feature.

They are deliberately positioned to help mask everyday dirt and grime, making the jacket particularly practical for construction, engineering, maintenance, transport and infrastructure teams.

It's a small detail, but one that makes sense in real working environments.

Two Zipped Pockets

The R450X includes zipped side pockets, providing secure storage for everyday essentials while keeping the clean appearance of the jacket.

Chin Guard and Inner Storm-flap

The full-length zip incorporates a chin guard and inner storm-flap, helping improve comfort around the neck and reducing exposure to wind and weather through the front zip.

Designed for Professional Branding

The R450X is a particularly useful choice where the hi-vis garment needs to form part of a branded company uniform.

It is tag-free and suitable for embroidery, transfer print and direct print, giving you several options for adding company logos and other branding.
