Soft Shell Jackets

A softshell safety jacket is a lightweight, water-resistant, and breathable outer layer designed for active work environments. These jackets are ideal for jobs that require flexibility and protection in changing weather conditions. With a sleek design and hi-vis features, softshell jackets keep you mobile, visible, and comfortable without heavy insulation.

To clean your safety jacket, always check the care label first. Most hi vis jackets can be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the reflective tape. Turning the jacket inside out while washing can also help protect the reflective tape. Line dry or tumble dry on a no-heat setting to maintain ANSI compliance and preserve long-lasting visibility and durability. For more details, read our blog post on How to Clean Reflective Clothing.

OSHA doesn't explicitly list "safety jackets" in its regulations, but it does require workers exposed to vehicular traffic, highway work zones, or construction near roadways to wear high-visibility warning garments (29 CFR 1926.201). This includes garments like vests, jackets, or shirts that meet the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard. In cold weather, Class 2 or Class 3 safety jackets help maintain compliance by combining visibility with warmth. Employers are responsible for ensuring worker visibility and protection under the General Duty Clause. Read OSHA’s official interpretation here: OSHA Standard Interpretation (Mar 11, 2002).
