Ergodyne 24325 GloWear 8365 Class 3 Hi-Vis Rain Jacket X-Large Lime personal protective equipment

Ergodyne GloWear 8365 Class 3 Hi-Vis Rain Jacket

The Ergodyne GloWear 8365 is a Class 3 high-visibility rain jacket built for workers who need certified visibility and weather protection on the job. It uses a 300D oxford polyester shell with a breathable PU coating and full mesh lining to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Two external front pockets with snap flaps and a cell phone chest pocket provide secure storage. Dual mic tabs allow easy radio attachment for communication.

Practical limits of Class 3 hi-vis

Class 3 certification requires specific amounts of background and reflective material that this jacket meets with its lime colour and 3M Scotchlite strips. The PU coating blocks wind and rain but limits vapour transfer compared to membrane fabrics, so sustained high exertion may cause heat build-up. The snap-front storm flap seals out driven rain but adds bulk under a harness. The inset hood with drawstring fits over a hard hat but reduces peripheral vision when cinched tight.

Easy pull-on fit with snap and drawstring

The jacket slips on over work clothes and secures with a zipper covered by a snap-button storm flap for quick entry. No tools or technical skill are required to put it on or adjust the hood drawstring and stoppers. Common issues include snaps fouling with mud or ice in cold conditions and the hood drawstring catch slipping if not fully seated. Selecting the correct size from the supplier chart avoids restricted movement or gaps at the wrist and waist.
