Where the standard GloWear 8377 bomber offers flexibility and coverage, the quilted variant adds a layer of insulation that makes a measurable difference when crews are standing, directing traffic, or working exposure-heavy jobs in sub-freezing temperatures. The quilted construction channels warmth effectively while keeping the profile trim enough to move freely, climb into vehicles, and layer under rain gear when conditions demand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ANSI\/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 rating is the highest classification available for workers in or near roadway traffic environments. Class 3 garments require both greater fluorescent background material and more extensive retroreflective striping than Class 2, which translates to earlier detection by oncoming drivers at highway speeds. For flaggers, survey crews, construction supervisors, and anyone working adjacent to moving vehicles, this distinction can be the difference between being seen in time and being a near-miss statistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reflective striping on the 8377 Quilted Bomber follows a 360-degree pattern, meaning approaching drivers, equipment operators, and pedestrians see it from the front, back, and sides. This all-angle visibility is especially important in congested work zones where workers may be approached from multiple directions simultaneously. The fluorescent body fabric performs in daylight while the retroreflective stripes return headlight and spotlight energy at night — two distinct visibility mechanisms working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eErgodyne's GloWear line is designed for real job sites, and the 8377's construction reflects that. The bomber-style cut provides more coverage than a vest alone, protecting the torso and arms from wind chill. The storm flap behind the main zipper prevents cold air infiltration at the front opening. Elastic or ribbed knit cuffs at the wrists close off the gap that cold air typically exploits when arms are raised or extended. Pockets are positioned for practical access — chest pockets for small tools, documentation, or phones, and lower pockets for hand warming during brief pauses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor safety managers and procurement teams equipping seasonal workers, the quilted bomber offers a cost-effective alternative to heavier insulated parkas when temperatures are cold but not extreme, or when workers will be active enough to generate body heat. It layers cleanly under high-visibility rain gear for wet conditions, extending its seasonal utility across a wider temperature and weather range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance and Standards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI\/ISEA 107\u003c\/strong\u003e — American National Standard for High-Visibility Safety Apparel and Accessories; Type R Class 3 is the highest performance class for roadway workers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType R\u003c\/strong\u003e — Roadway and right-of-way application designation, required for MUTCD-regulated work zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass 3\u003c\/strong\u003e — Maximum background material and retroreflective striping area; required for workers near traffic exceeding 50 mph in many jurisdictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-World Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor workers who spend full shifts outdoors in cold weather, the quilted insulation in the 8377 jacket reduces fatigue caused by sustained cold exposure — a factor that directly impacts alertness and error rates. Staying warm keeps workers focused on the task at hand rather than managing discomfort. The bomber cut also signals compliance to inspectors and project managers without requiring workers to add separate insulating layers under a vest, simplifying the process of meeting hi-vis requirements across the crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHighway construction and traffic control in cold weather seasons\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRailroad track maintenance and right-of-way operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUtility line workers and field crews in low-light environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlaggers and traffic control personnel at night or dawn\/dusk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAirport ground crews and tarmac operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMunicipal road maintenance and snow removal crews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/collections\/high-visibility\"\u003eHi-Vis Safety Vests — Full Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ergodyne-glowear-8377-hi-vis-class-3-bomber-jacket-orange\"\u003eErgodyne GloWear 8377 Hi-Vis Class 3 Bomber Jacket — Orange\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/collections\/eye-protection\"\u003ePersonal Protective Equipment — Full Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the quilted and non-quilted Ergodyne GloWear 8377?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth versions share the same ANSI\/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 rating and bomber jacket cut. The quilted version adds an insulating layer to the shell, providing warmth for cold weather work. The non-quilted version is lighter and better suited to mild or warm climates where insulation isn't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the GloWear 8377 Quilted Bomber meet MUTCD requirements for highway work zones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. ANSI\/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 is the appropriate standard for workers in federally regulated highway work zones. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) references ANSI\/ISEA 107 for high-visibility apparel requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear this jacket under a rain suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The bomber cut and quilted construction layer cleanly under hi-vis rain gear. Many workers use the 8377 Quilted Bomber as a mid-layer during wet, cold conditions when both insulation and rain protection are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the 8377 Quilted Bomber machine washable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErgodyne GloWear garments are designed for industrial laundering. Check the garment care label for specific temperature and cycle recommendations to preserve retroreflective tape performance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GloWear 8377 is typically available in sizes S through 5XL to accommodate diverse workforces. Contact WC Safety for current size availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is Class 3 required instead of Class 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClass 3 provides greater retroreflective and fluorescent material coverage than Class 2. Many state DOTs and project specifications require Class 3 for workers near traffic traveling above 50 mph, as the additional visibility material gives drivers more reaction time at higher speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this jacket have a warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErgodyne backs GloWear products with their standard warranty against manufacturing defects. Retroreflective tape performance is rated for a specific number of wash cycles; replacement is required when reflectivity falls below ANSI\/ISEA 107 minimums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ergodyne","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":44038903890008,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44038903922776,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44038903955544,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":44038903988312,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":44038904021080,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":44038904053848,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":44038904086616,"sku":"8377","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/1900\/0920\/files\/71Jx5e9GbKL.jpg?v=1777234929","url":"https:\/\/wcsafety.com\/products\/ergodyne-glowear-8377-hi-vis-class-3-quilted-bomber-jacket","provider":"WC Safety","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
