What does the EN 343 Class 4:4 rating mean for this hi-vis jacket?
The EN 343 Class 4:4 X rating indicates that this hi-vis jacket offers the highest class of waterproofing and breathability. This means the fabric can withstand an extremely high water pressure of 20,000 mm, while the breathability of 10,000 g/m²/24h ensures that perspiration moisture is efficiently wicked away.
This keeps you dry and comfortable on the inside during intense physical exertion, without allowing rainwater to penetrate from the outside.
