Is the Pyramex RJ31 bomber actually waterproof?

Yes — the RJ31 Series pairs a waterproof high-visibility shell with a fleece layer, so it is built for genuinely wet conditions rather than just resisting drizzle.

Is the Pyramex RJ31 warm enough for cold weather?

It includes a fleece layer inside the waterproof shell, which is what lets it solve wet-and-cold days that a plain rain shell only half-covers.

Why buy the RJ31 instead of a quilted bomber?

A quilted bomber handles cold but not sustained rain; the RJ31's waterproof shell plus fleece handles both at once, making it the foul-weather workhorse of the jacket lineup.

Why buy the RJ31 instead of plain hi-vis rainwear?

Plain rain shells keep you dry but not warm. The RJ31 adds a fleece layer under the waterproof hi-vis shell, so one jacket covers wet-and-cold conditions.

How much does the Pyramex RJ31 bomber cost?

It is listed at $59.54, sitting between lighter rainwear and premium softshells in price.

Is the RJ31 a high-visibility jacket?

Yes, the waterproof shell is high-visibility. For the specific ANSI class of the configuration you pick, check the details on the linked Amazon listing.

What colors is the RJ31 available in?

Available colors are listed on the linked Amazon product page rather than on this page.

Who makes the RJ31 Series jacket?

Pyramex — the RJ31 comes from their safety outerwear line.

Is the RJ31 good for winter roadwork?

Its waterproof-shell-plus-fleece build targets exactly that kind of wet, cold outdoor work where you need visibility, dryness, and warmth in one garment.

How does the RJ31 compare to the Ergodyne 8353 softshell?

The Ergodyne 8353 ($115.99) is a lighter three-season softshell for wind and light rain; the RJ31 ($59.54) is the heavier waterproof-plus-fleece bomber for sustained wet and cold. Pick by your worst regular weather.

Is the RJ31 too warm for mild weather?

With a waterproof shell and fleece layer it is built for foul weather; in mild or hot conditions a hi-vis shirt or lighter jacket will be more comfortable.

What to check before you buy

Performance class: ANSI/ISEA 107 defines Class 1, 2 and 3 by the amount of background and retroreflective material. Higher traffic speeds and lower light call for higher class.
Type R, O or P: Type R is roadway, Type O off-road, Type P public safety. The type determines which classes are permitted for the setting.
Federal highway requirement: Workers exposed to traffic on federal-aid highway rights-of-way are required to wear high-visibility apparel meeting ANSI/ISEA 107.
Retroreflectivity degrades: Washing, abrasion and soiling all reduce reflective performance. A faded, stained garment no longer performs to its class.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3?

Class 3 requires more background and retroreflective material and must have sleeves, giving greater visibility and better definition of the human form. It is specified for higher speeds and poorer conditions.

What do Type R, O and P mean?

Type R is for roadway and temporary traffic control, Type O for off-road settings without traffic exposure, Type P for public safety personnel such as fire and police.

Is hi-vis legally required?

Workers exposed to traffic on federal-aid highway rights-of-way must wear apparel meeting ANSI/ISEA 107. Other settings depend on the employer hazard assessment.

How many washes does hi-vis last?

Garments carry a maximum wash cycle marking. Beyond it, the fluorescent background and retroreflective tape may no longer meet the class.

Does a faded vest still count?

No. Fluorescent fabric fades and reflective tape degrades. A garment that no longer meets its class provides less protection than the label implies.

Where do the specifications on this page come from?

They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.

Does WC Safety sell this product?
