Why Reflective Winter Jackets Matter in Harsh Conditions
During winter months, poor lighting and unpredictable weather increase the risk of workplace accidents. Workers in road maintenance, construction, transportation, and logistics face reduced visibility and extreme cold. Reflective insulated work jackets solve both issues:
• Insulation protects against low temperatures and wind.
• Reflective strips enhance visibility in low-light environments.
• Waterproof coatings keep workers dry in snow and rain.
These features make hi-vis thermal jackets a must-have item in modern workwear collections.

Key Features of the Best Winter Reflective Jackets
When selecting the best jacket for your needs, look for the following:
1. EN ISO 20471 Certification – Ensures legal compliance for high-visibility clothing.
2. EN 342 or EN 343 Certification – For insulation and water resistance.
3. Detachable hoods and inner layers – For versatility in changing conditions.
4. Padded lining and windproof outer shell – To retain heat even during long outdoor shifts.
5. Strong zippers and multi-pocket designs – For practicality and tool storage.
Optimum BHP offers all of these features in top products from leading brands like Snickers Workwear, Portwest, Sara Workwear, and Urgent.

Mistakes to Avoid
1. Buying jackets without certification – Only EN ISO 20471 guarantees proper reflectivity.
2. Underestimating insulation – Lightweight jackets may look warm but fail in sub-zero conditions.
3. Ignoring waterproofing – Snow quickly turns to water and soaks through non-waterproof gear.
4. Choosing the wrong size – Too tight and it restricts movement, too loose and it traps cold air.
