First of all, to be effective, high-visibility safety clothing must fit snugly and not float around the body. Clothing that's too large can get caught in machinery or equipment, while clothing that's too small can restrict freedom of movement and cause discomfort. 

This coat is the perfect ally for all your outdoor adventures. Thanks to its advanced technology, it offers exceptional waterproofing and breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable, no matter how intense the rain. With its slim fit and quality materials, the Pioneer® jacket combines style and functionality.

Don't wait any longer, equip yourself to face the elements with confidence.

Design:
Made from 300 Deniers oxford polyester with Polyurethane coating, guaranteeing total waterproofing and wind resistance. Complies with ANSI/ISEA 107-20-2020 class 3 type and R and CSA Z96-2022 class 2 level 2.  This garment boasts superior anti-tear and anti-abrasion properties, as well as a half-mesh back for improved ventilation and comfort. It features 2 lower pockets with flaps and a foldaway hood inside the collar. Its loose fit and back vent will keep you comfortable while you work. This jacket features a front zipper with snap flap and retroreflective tape on the front, side, back and arms.

These Polyurethane lined oxford polyester jacket is said to be manufactured with a 300-denier yarn; in layman’s terms, it is a medium-weight protective wear which is lightweight enough to offer comfort but is heavyweight enough to offer an effective protection. By definition, 300 deniers refer to the weight in grams of 9,000 m of the yarn used to make these pants, that is, 300 deniers equal 300 g. The manufacturer is unable to provide the polyurethane liner’s thickness.

Regarding the oxford term, it refers to the type of woven fabric. The oxford cloth is widely used in the industry, namely to manufacture dress shirts, jackets, bags, etc. The oxford weaving consists in interlacing a warp thread (horizontal line) and a weft thread (vertical line) to create the oxford’s infamous basket weave structure.

Water resistance:
Polyurethane-lined waterproof safety wear is usually worn by workers who may be exposed to remote risks of chemical splashes. Polyurethane is lightweight and porous; it’s thus ideal to manufacture light and breathable workwear. The manufacturer is unable to provide information on these rain jacket resistance to hydrostatic pressure. Upon examination and comparison to similar products, we assume that they can withhold a hydrostatic pressure of about 5,000 mm, i.e. they can withstand the pressure of a 5 m water column.

A waterproof rating is granted when a material has been tested under the pressure of a cylinder filled with water, in this case, 5 m high of water. This height defines the limit at which the material stops being resistant and water starts passing through. PU is lightweight and porous; it’s thus ideal to manufacture light and breathable workwear. Yet, during heavy rains and windstorms, PU tends to get waterlogged and lose all its water-resistant property. Once overloaded, polyurethane lets water leach into the rainwear under any pressure, e.g. by leaning on something or bending over.

We recommend wearing this jacket with the waterproof pant (VP5627).

About its classification:

CSA Z96-22 class 2 level 2: High-visibility safety clothing for workers operating in close proximity to road traffic with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Low to moderate risk.

Fluorescent orange is highly visible during the day and in conditions with a lot of artificial light. In most situations, it also offers high contrast with the background. Fluorescent orange is less visible at night and in conditions of low natural or artificial light, for example at dawn or dusk.

Silver retroreflective stripes are highly visible in natural or artificial low-light conditions, as they reflect light back towards the source of the light beam (flashlight, car headlights, etc.). They therefore offer the greatest safety at dawn, dusk and at night. However, they do not increase visibility during the day.

Complies with CSA Z96-2022 class 2 level 2: This class is intended for workers in LOW or MODERATE RISK areas, who require greater visibility in poor weather conditions or low light levels. If the pants (VP5627) are used in combination with the complementary jacket (VP5626), the set increases to class 3 level 2. This increases the compliance range in the presence of vehicles with higher speeds.

ANSI/ISEA standard 107-2020 provides guidelines for high-visibility safety apparel (HVSA) to improve worker visibility.

Type E refers to a type of high-visibility safety garment which, when worn alone, does not meet the requirements of a single class. This is an important consideration for professionals who need maximum visibility in potentially hazardous working environments. If the jacket (VP5626) is used in combination with the complementary pants (VP5627), the ensemble increases to class R.

High-visibility safety clothing features light-reflecting reflective strips that can be seen from over 250 meters away to ensure your safety, and for Sylprotec this is essential.
