How does this hi-vis jacket protect against cold, rain, and harmful UV radiation?
This jacket provides excellent protection through a combination of a highly water-repellent outer fabric and a soft Insulatex lining that effectively retains body heat. Thanks to the environmentally conscious finish, water beads off the surface immediately, keeping you dry during light precipitation.
Furthermore, the material is equipped with a UPF 40+ filter that blocks no less than 98 percent of harmful UV radiation. This makes the jacket versatile for use in changing and harsh weather conditions, without compromising on comfort.
