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.
Safety first: a rain shell is weather protection and conspicuity — nothing more. It is not chemical PPE: work around a chemical splash hazard needs garments rated for the specific chemical, not coated rainwear. And where your traffic-control plan calls out a specific ANSI/ISEA 107 class, verify the class label on the current listing before you buy — this listing does not state one, so we don't claim one.
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. For hi-vis rain gear at crew scale, quantity orders run through a free Amazon Business account — the walkthrough is linked in our footer.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is the JKSafety 117A?
A waterproof high-visibility rain jacket: 150D Oxford shell with weather-resistant coating and sealed seams, an inner mesh lining, seven 2-inch reflective strips with fluorescent trim, and pockets for phone and small tools. Amazon lists it in sizes for men and women.
Why does the mesh lining matter?
Unlined rain shells stick to your skin the minute you sweat, and crews take them off — which defeats both the rain protection and the visibility. The mesh layer holds the shell off your body and moves some air, so the jacket actually stays on through a full wet shift.
Is this jacket ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 or Class 3?
The listing we link does not state an ANSI class, so we do not claim one. If your site's traffic-control plan requires a stated Class 2 or Class 3 garment, verify the label on the current Amazon listing before ordering, or pick a jacket that states its class outright — our TiCONN Class 3 rainwear pages state theirs.
Is it actually waterproof or just water-resistant?
The listing describes a weather-resistant coated 150D Oxford fabric with sealed seams. Sealed seams are the part that matters — stitched-only seams leak first. For standing all day in driving rain, pair it with rain pants so runoff doesn't soak your legs.
What jobs is this jacket built for?
The maker positions it for construction, surveying, police and public safety, security, crossing guards, and parking attendants — outdoor roles where you need to stay dry and stay seen. It also covers farm and fishing work where visibility is a bonus rather than a requirement.
Does it come with rain pants?
No — this listing is the jacket alone. JKSafety sells matching hi-vis rain pants separately, and if you want jacket and pants in one purchase, a two-piece rain suit is the simpler order.
How should I size it?
Size for what goes underneath. A rain shell worn over a hoodie or insulated vest in cool weather needs room to layer without pinning your arms; check the size chart on the Amazon listing rather than defaulting to your t-shirt size.
How do I wash it without killing the waterproofing?
Follow the care tag: rinse off mud, wash gently, and skip harsh detergents and machine drying — heat and aggressive surfactants degrade coatings on any coated rain shell. Hang-dry it and it will hold its coating far longer.
Will the reflective strips survive repeated soakings?
Reflective tape on rainwear is applied for wet service, and the seven 2-inch strips here are the full-wrap layout you want for headlight visibility. Retire the jacket when strips crack, peel, or dull — faded tape is the visibility equivalent of a worn-out tread.
Can I wear it over a safety vest instead of replacing it?
Wearing a vest under a rain shell hides the vest — which is why hi-vis rainwear exists. If your role requires visible ANSI-class markings, the outermost layer is the one that has to carry them.
What's the difference between this and a hardware-store rain poncho?
Fit, pockets, reflectivity, and survivability. A poncho snags, flaps in wind, has no reflective striping, and tears at the neck in a season. A lined work rain jacket is cut for reaching and climbing, carries reflective strips, and holds up to daily use.
How do I order for a full crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account — volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
