What do the EN 343 class 4:3 rating and the seven wearing options of this hi-vis jacket mean in practice?
The EN 343 class 4:3 rating guarantees the highest class of waterproofness and a very high level of breathability, ensuring that perspiration moisture is efficiently wicked away while rain is kept out. The taped seams and water-repellent finish reinforce this barrier.
