When linemen are working out in the elements, they need not only waterproof protection, but also the ability to be seen on the job site. Ariat's new FR HiVisH20Proof Jacket meets these needs by featuring heavy-duty Cat. 4 protection in a lightweight 6-oz. fabric with 3M reflective tape.

The high-vis yellow jacket is ANSI Class 3 rated for visibility and includes 160 gsm FR insulation. In addition, the garment has a fully seam-sealed waterproof construction with a breathable membrane. Its zippered exterior and interior chest pockets allow for safe storage of sensitive material, while the heavy-duty storm flap has Velcro closures for additional rain protection.
