Waterproof Hi-Vis Jacket Accessories: 5 Must-Have Safety Pairings

I’ve worked with road maintenance and municipal service teams across rainy climate regions for a decade and I’ve seen how the wrong accessories can make a waterproof hi vis jacket fall short of its full potential a street cleaning crew in the UK learned this last spring they had a quality waterproof hi vis jacket but paired it with regular cotton gloves and a non reflective hat during a heavy downpour their hands were soaked their heads were cold and they lost visibility from the hat all issues that could have been fixed with the right accessories at Rafeel Safety we design our waterproof hi vis jacket to be the core of a complete outdoor safety system and the right accessories turn a great jacket into an unbeatable one our waterproof hi vis jacket features high grade reflective tape and a fully sealed waterproof shell but it needs complementary accessories to cover every part of the body and boost overall safety a waterproof hi vis jacket only protects the torso and arms so the right accessories ensure no area is left exposed to the elements or hidden from view

At Rafeel Safety we’ve identified the exact accessories that pair perfectly with our waterproof hi vis jacket each one chosen to match the jacket’s waterproof hi vis and durable qualities the first must have is a waterproof hi vis beanie or cap with 360 degree reflective detailing it works with the waterproof hi vis jacket to keep the head dry and maintain full visibility even in heavy rain next are waterproof hi vis gloves with reinforced palms the gloves match the jacket’s waterproof rating and add reflective strips so hands stay protected and visible while working with tools we also recommend waterproof hi vis over trousers that seal seamlessly with the bottom of our waterproof hi vis jacket preventing water from seeping in at the waist every accessory we offer is tested to work in tandem with our waterproof hi vis jacket using the same reflective material and waterproof technology so the entire outfit is cohesive and compliant all these accessories are engineered to not just match the waterproof hi vis jacket but enhance its performance making the whole system more effective than individual pieces
