Insulated Workwear Leader Delivers Updated Safety Workwear for National Safety Month
RefrigiWear, the largest supplier of insulated work apparel for the cold chain and outdoor construction industries, announces additional high-visibility colors for one of its most popular lightweight work jackets in advance of National Safety Month. The HiVis Diamond Quilted Jacket is now available and ready to ship in both high-visibility lime and high-visibility orange colors.
“This lightweight jacket is a recent addition to our popular EnduraQuilt™ Collection and is preferred by people working outdoors in the milder conditions of spring and fall,” explains Mitch Harden, Vice President of Sales for RefrigiWear’s B2B Outdoor division.
“We originally designed this jacket in high-visibility orange for people working in rail transportation. But requests for the same jacket in high-visibility lime came pouring in from people working in other areas where yellow is the preferred safety color, as well as from people working in other sectors, such as residential construction and state DOT organizations,” explains Harden.
Both the high-visibility orange and the new high-visibility lime versions of the jacket are designed to meet ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 – Type R, Class 3 and CSA Z96 – Class 2, Level 2 standards with double-rows of silver reflective tape around the waist and arms, as well as an X pattern on the back.
The durable, industrial-strength outershell is both wind-tight and water-repellent, so it’s ideal for protecting people working in the unpredictable weather of late spring, especially across the northern US and in higher elevations. The jacket is also lightly insulated and comfort-rated for temperatures as low as 30°F, delivering comfortable protection from the springtime chill for those working during the overnight hours.
