No matter how hard it pours, those who work in traffic control still need to be stationed in their posts in order to maintain road safety. This is all the more reason why they have to wear high-visibility apparel--to keep drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and themselves safe from accidents caused by inclement weather and low light conditions. For those working on roadways and in other outdoor settings filled with hazards, the best safety garment to put on whenever it rains is the ML Kishigo Storm Stopper Pro Rainwear Jacket 2XLarge-3XLarge (Lime) RWJ1002.

Constructed with seam-sealed waterproof material, the rainwear jacket can help wearers stay dry whenever they are working outside in the rain for long periods of time. Since it can be securely closed with both a zipper and a storm flap, it won’t be possible for rain and strong winds to get in the jacket. A hood can also be pulled out of the collar and cover the heads of wearers, and cuffs around the wrists of the jacket can be adjusted to allow a tight fit and to block water from coming in the sleeves. With all of these features, the jacket can surely keep wearers dry and warm, which in turn can also help in warding off illnesses brought on by the weather.

Although the jacket is designed for warmth and weather-protection, it still allows ventilation so that wearers can easily move and breathe. The inside of the jacket is lined with a mesh material, which prevents it from becoming too stuffy and too uncomfortable to wear. It also has a vented cape on its back for breathability.

Meeting the requirements under ANSI 107 Class 3, the rainwear jacket can be worn by those working on roadways with fast-speed traffic or in other low light settings with moving equipment. With its bright lime color, the jacket can make wearers be clearly seen, even when the rain affects the job site’s visibility. Its lower body and sleeves displays a black color to contrast the jacket’s bright color while providing wearers with a clean appearance, especially in muddy work environments. For added visibility, the jacket has a 2-inch wide Oralite prismatic reflective tape so that whenever light coming from headlights, streetlights, and utility lights shines on the tape, it can reflect the light and alert vehicle and machine operators of the presence of wearers.

In the event that wearers have to put on safety harnesses, they can be attached to the D-ring access on the back of the jacket. For secure storage of tools and handheld devices, the jacket has a radio pocket on its left chest and two pockets with storm flaps and snaps.
