JKSafety Hi-Vis Rain Jacket — Waterproof Reflective Work Rain Gear, Mesh Lined (117A)

The JKSafety 117A answers the question every wet jobsite asks: why do workers take their rain gear off? Because unlined shells turn into a sweat bag by mid-morning. This one hangs an inner mesh lining between you and the waterproof 150D Oxford shell, wraps seven 2-inch reflective strips around the body and arms, and adds real pockets — rain protection a crew will actually keep wearing.

Why a hi-vis rain jacket beats a shell plus a vest

Rain moves work into the worst visibility conditions of the year — gray light, spray, drivers squinting through wipers — exactly when a plain rain shell covers up the vest you normally rely on. Hi-vis rain gear solves both problems in one garment: the outermost layer is the visible layer. That's the whole argument for this category over layering, and it's why roles like flagging, surveying, parking, and security standardize on hi-vis rainwear instead of throwing clear ponchos over their hi-vis shirts. Our best hi-vis rain gear guide ranks the field, and the decision pillar covers when high-visibility clothing is required at all.

What the listing documents

From the listing: a 150D Oxford outer shell with a weather-resistant coating and sealed seams; an inner mesh lining for airflow and chafe control; seven 2-inch reflective strips with extended fluorescent trim; pockets for phone and small tools; sizes for men and women, model 117A. Intended roles listed by the maker: construction, surveyor, police and public safety, security, crossing guard, parking. What it doesn't state, we don't claim: no ANSI/ISEA 107 class is listed, and the shell is coated Oxford — not a breathable laminate like the gore-tex gear the premium tier sells.

Building out full hi-vis rain gear

A jacket keeps your torso dry; the rest of the kit is modular. Add the matching JKSafety rain pants or Portwest's Class E trousers for standing work in real rain, or jump straight to the TiCONN two-piece rain suit if you want one order that covers both. Longer coverage for traffic duty lives in the TiCONN trench coat, and the TiCONN Class 3 jacket is the pick when a stated ANSI class is non-negotiable. The full field is in the rain jackets and hi-vis rainwear collections.

Where this hi-vis waterproof jacket fits the shelf

Inside our lineup, this JKSafety is the comfort-first value pick: mesh-lined so it stays on, pocketed so it carries, priced so outfitting a crew doesn't sting. The TiCONN pieces above trade a few dollars for a stated Class 3 rating; dry-weather days belong to the standard hi-vis jackets line and to our jacket roundup; cool mornings pair it over a hi-vis hoodie. If you're building a visibility program from scratch, start with the complete hi-vis apparel guide and the vest roundup — a Class 2 vest plus this rain shell covers most crews' calendar.

Ownership and program fit

Treat high visibility rain jacket stock like PPE, not like clothing: assign per worker, inspect the reflective strips when they come back muddy, and retire jackets whose tape has dulled or peeled — faded striping quietly stops doing its job. Wash gently, skip machine heat, and the coating outlasts the season. Warm-weather crews who run the jacket over a Class 3 shirt get layered visibility that survives the shell coming off at noon; the wider apparel program lives in the hoodies and shirts lineups.
