RG382 Hi-Vis Pro Softshell | Regatta High Visibility

High-Visibility Protection with Softshell Comfort and Weather Protection

The Regatta RG382 Hi-Vis Pro Softshell combines certified high visibility with the comfort, flexibility and weather protection of a modern three-layer softshell jacket.

Designed for professional outdoor working environments, the RG382 features a warm-backed Softshell XPT three-layer fabric with a breathable membrane, helping to protect against wind and rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape. With a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, it provides a practical balance of weather protection and comfort during active working conditions.

The jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 A1:2016 Class 2, while the Orange colourway is also certified to RIS-3279-TOM, making it a particularly strong option for railway, construction, highways, utilities and other professional environments where high visibility is essential.

Designed for Professional Outdoor Work

The RG382 is designed for workers who need reliable visibility while working outdoors in changeable conditions.

Unlike a basic hi-vis jacket, its softshell construction provides a more comfortable and flexible alternative for workers who are moving throughout the day. The warm-backed fabric adds an additional layer of comfort, while the three-layer membrane helps protect against wind and light rain.

It is particularly well suited to rail, construction, highways, utilities, engineering, transport, logistics, facilities and general site work.

Three-Layer Softshell XPT Technology

The RG382 uses Softshell XPT, Regatta's three-layer softshell technology. The construction combines a weather-resistant outer layer, breathable membrane and warm-backed inner layer.

The membrane provides a 10,000g/m²/24h breathability rating, helping moisture vapour escape while the jacket provides protection from the elements.

This makes the RG382 particularly useful for active workers who need a jacket that can be worn comfortably for extended periods rather than simply used as an occasional outer layer.

Visibility from Multiple Angles

The RG382 incorporates Regatta's ID Reflection technology, using angled reflective chevrons designed to help indicate whether the wearer is facing towards or away from an observer.

This provides an additional visual indication of the wearer's orientation, complementing the jacket's high-visibility construction.

Safety & Certification

The RG382 is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 A1:2016 Class 2.

Importantly, the Orange colourway is also certified to RIS-3279-TOM, making this version particularly relevant to railway and rail infrastructure applications where RIS-3279-TOM compliant orange high-visibility clothing is required.

If purchasing for railway use, always check the requirements of the relevant employer, principal contractor, site or project to ensure the selected garment meets the required specification.

Important: the RIS-3279-TOM certification should only be associated with the Orange colourway. We should not describe the Yellow version as RIS-3279-TOM compliant.

Ideal For

The RG382 is particularly suitable for:

• Railway and rail infrastructure

• Construction and building contractors

• Highways and road maintenance

• Utilities and engineering

• Transport and logistics

• Facilities and maintenance

• Site managers and supervisors

• Outdoor trades

• Warehouse and distribution teams

• Workers operating in changeable weather conditions

Custom Branding

The RG382 can be professionally customised with your company branding, making it an excellent option for creating a consistent and recognisable workwear uniform.

Embroidery

Embroidery provides a durable, professional finish and is particularly well suited to smaller company logos positioned on the chest.

The softshell construction provides a good base for professional embroidered branding, although the final logo size and position should always be assessed before production.

Print

Print is another option for company branding and can be particularly useful for larger logos, detailed artwork or larger back branding.

At ColorCoded Workwear, your artwork is checked before production to ensure the selected branding method and position are appropriate for the garment.
