RE18A Safety Jacket – Result Safeguard | Class 3 Waterproof Hi-Vis Jacket

Maximum Visibility and Weather Protection for Demanding Outdoor Work

The Result Safeguard RE18A Safety Jacket is a 3/4-length, insulated high-visibility jacket designed for workers who need dependable protection from rain, wind and cold while maintaining the highest level of certified visibility.

Its EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification provides the highest level of standard high-visibility protection, while the fluorescent orange version also meets RIS-3279-TOM Class 3 requirements for appropriate railway and infrastructure applications. The jacket also meets EN 343:2019 Class 3:1 for protection against rain.

The waterproof outer fabric, fully taped seams, insulated lining, concealed hood and storm flap work together to create a genuine cold-weather protection layer rather than simply a hi-vis jacket with some water resistance.

Its generous 3/4-length design also allows it to be worn over existing workwear, making it particularly useful for outdoor teams who need to stay protected when conditions become wet, cold and exposed.

Why Choose the RE18A Safety Jacket?

Maximum Class 3 Visibility

When visibility is critical, the RE18A provides a higher level of visibility than the Class 1 and Class 2 garments elsewhere in the range.

The jacket is EN ISO 20471 Class 3, with strategically positioned reflective bands providing high visibility across the body and shoulders. The fluorescent orange version is also RIS-3279-TOM Class 3.

This makes it particularly relevant to demanding construction, infrastructure, highways and railway environments where Class 3 visibility is required.

Built for Wet and Windy Conditions

The RE18A is designed to provide genuine weather protection.

Its outer fabric has a 3,000mm waterproof rating, while the construction is windproof and the seams are fully taped to help prevent water entering through stitched areas.

That makes it a far more appropriate choice for prolonged outdoor exposure than a standard fleece, gilet or softshell when heavy rain is part of the working environment.

3/4-Length Protection

The longer length provides additional coverage around the torso and upper legs compared with a conventional waist-length safety jacket.

This is particularly useful for workers spending extended periods outside in exposed conditions, while the generous fit allows the jacket to be worn over existing workwear.

Insulated for Colder Conditions

The RE18A combines its waterproof outer shell with 160gsm polyester wadding and a quilted polyester lining, providing insulation as well as weather protection.

That makes it a practical cold-weather workwear solution rather than simply a rain shell.

Concealed Hood When You Need It

The hood is concealed within the collar, allowing the jacket to retain a relatively clean appearance when the hood is not required.

When rain arrives, it can be deployed to provide additional protection around the head and neck.

Designed for Real Working Conditions

The RE18A includes several practical details intended for day-to-day site use:

• Heavy-duty front zip

• Stud-fastening storm flap

• Three external pockets

• Internal pocket

• Phone pocket

• Underarm ventilation eyelets

• Concealed adjustable hood

• Fully taped seams

• Seamless watershed shoulders

These details make it a genuine working jacket rather than a basic high-visibility outer layer.

A Strong Choice for Branded Team Workwear

The RE18A is designed with professional workwear decoration in mind, with strategic positioning of the reflective bands allowing useful areas for company branding.

The generous fit also makes it particularly practical when a business needs one outer layer that can be worn over an existing branded uniform.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

The fluorescent orange version also meets RIS-3279-TOM Class 3, making it particularly relevant to appropriate railway and infrastructure applications.

Is the RE18A waterproof?

Yes. The jacket has a 3,000mm waterproof rating and fully taped seams to help prevent water penetration through the construction.

It is also certified to EN 343:2019 Class 3:1 for protection against rain.

Is the RE18A windproof?

Yes. The jacket is designed to provide windproof protection as part of its overall weather-resistant construction.

Is the RE18A suitable for railway work?

The fluorescent orange version meets RIS-3279-TOM Class 3.

That makes it suitable for appropriate railway and infrastructure applications where Class 3 orange high-visibility clothing is required.

As always, the garment specification should be checked against the individual site's PPE requirements and risk assessment.

Is the RE18A suitable for winter?

Yes. The combination of waterproof outer fabric, 160gsm polyester wadding and quilted lining makes it particularly suitable for colder outdoor working conditions.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes. The hood is concealed within the collar and can be adjusted when deployed.

Does the RE18A have taped seams?

Yes. The jacket has fully taped seams, helping maintain the waterproof construction.

Is the RE18A designed to be worn over other workwear?

Yes. The generous sizing is designed to allow the jacket to be worn over existing garments.

This makes it particularly useful as the outer layer of a complete branded workwear system.

How long is the RE18A?

The RE18A is a 3/4-length jacket, providing more coverage than a conventional waist-length safety jacket.

This additional length is particularly useful for workers who spend extended periods outdoors in wet conditions.

How many pockets does it have?

The jacket has three external pockets, together with an internal pocket and a dedicated phone pocket.

Can the RE18A be branded?

Yes. The jacket is suitable for professional workwear branding.

Its reflective bands have been positioned strategically to provide useful areas for decoration while maintaining the garment's visibility requirements.

What sizes are available?

The RE18A is available from S to 3XL, with approximate body chest sizes of 38" through to 53".

How does the RE18A compare with the R475X Safety Softshell Coat?

They are designed for different purposes.

The RE18A is a traditional insulated, 3/4-length waterproof safety jacket offering Class 3 visibility and EN 343 rain protection.

The R475X is a more technical, lighter softshell-style safety coat designed around a 2-layer construction, stretch, breathability and a more modern fitted feel.

For prolonged winter exposure and maximum visibility, I would favour the RE18A. For customers prioritising lighter-weight technical outerwear and greater mobility, the R475X is the more appropriate option.

Is the RE18A better than a Class 2 softshell?

Not necessarily, it depends on the job.

The RE18A's advantage is Class 3 visibility, insulation, 3/4-length coverage and certified rain protection.

A Class 2 softshell can be more appropriate when workers need a lighter, more mobile garment for less demanding conditions.

The important point is to choose the garment according to the working environment rather than assuming the highest specification is always the best choice.
