Ergodyne 23524 Hi-vis Softshell Jacket Type R Class 3 Lime

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 23524 is a GloWear 8353 high-visibility softshell jacket built for workers operating in low-light conditions and near moving vehicles. The shell is 100% polyester with a PU coating that resists wind and water, while a polar fleece interior lining provides warmth during cool-weather work. At 2.3 pounds, the jacket is lightweight relative to its protection level. It carries a Type R Class 3 rating with 2-inch ANSI-compliant reflective stripes, meeting the highest ANSI/ISEA 107 visibility standard. Licensed electricians, construction crews, transportation workers, and municipal maintenance personnel are the primary installers and end users of this garment.

The 23524 is suited for outdoor worksites where Type R Class 3 compliance is required, including road construction, baggage handling, utility work, and any environment with vehicle traffic. The athletic fit distinguishes it from standard boxy hi-vis outerwear. The removable hood is sized to fit over a hard hat, making it practical for full PPE setups. Adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs allow comfortable wear with work gloves. The elastic bungee waist and long tail prevent the jacket from riding up during active movement on the job.
