JKSafety Hi-Vis Waterproof Softshell Hooded Safety Jacket with Optional Heated Battery(SJ500)

VERY nice jacket. I love this jacket is soft shell so it doesn‘t look super puffy and make noise. The wrist has adjustable velcro straps to change the size which is perfect since I hate when my sleeve rolls over my hand while I work. There’s also an adjustable band at the bottom/hip area of the jacket to get a snug fit, I wear a radio on my belt so this is perfect so it doesn‘t go over my radio. There’s SO many pockets and water does not get through this thing. The pockets are perfect for those days you have to work in the rain and don‘t want to damage your wallet and phone. I receive many complements from my coworkers on this jacket. I do wish it cost a little less but honestly it’s been with the price. Very happy with my purchase. Unfortunate the company I work for got us all jackets so I can‘t wear this one anymore.

Fits well and is warm.

This jacket is extremely nice and made very well. It is warm, visible and comfortable to wear all day outside. Have not tested the waterproof feature yet, but I have no doubts it will pass with flying colors.

The wind resistance is really good but not perfect. It is much better than a normal reflective jacket though!

The removable hood is a great addition. I can wear this for more scenarios by taking the hood off.

The sizing fits as it should. I am a large and the large fits perfectly. The pockets are plentiful and large.

Overall, this is a great addition to my outside work gear, especially in the winter.

This jacket is a standout piece of gear, from the sharp reflective strips that catch every bit of light to the rugged waterproof softshell. It offers plenty of room for movement and great protective features. First of all, the fit and finish is impressive all around. It uses high-quality material that feels durable like cotton, yet remains flexible. I was surprisingly pleased with how water-resistant the outer shell is. It looks professional and clean even after you wear it through a rainy shift. The water just beads up and rolls right off.

You will appreciate the internal build of this jacket immediately. The internal fabric withstands cold weather easily, blocking out wind that usually cuts through standard safety vests. The fleece lining is nice and soft on the inside, which makes it incredibly comfortable for extended wear. You don��t feel that stiff, plastic feeling common in other rain gear. It keeps your core warm without requiring three or four layers underneath, which simplifies getting ready for a cold morning.

The visibility factor is excellent. The colors are bright and distinct, ensuring you are seen in low-light environments or near moving machinery. The detachable hood is practical; you can snap it on when the weather turns bad and cinch it tight with the drawstrings. The zippered pockets are another win, as they glide smoothly and keep your keys or tools secure. You can move freely, reach for equipment, and drive without the jacket bunching up or feeling restrictive.

If you are looking for a reliable safety jacket that handles rain and cold comfortably with safety in mind, this is really good.

This jacket is so well made that I would love it in all black just to wear outside of work. The jacket can adjust all around, from the bottom hem to the arm openings, so you can make it as loose or tight as you need. There are deep pockets in the front and sides, plus a side pocket on one side both on the outside and inside of the jacket. It is fully fleece-lined on the inside, so it feels warm and cozy, which you might not expect just from looking at pictures.

The outside material is waterproof and feels like a thicker raincoat without the shiny coating. The jacket is medium weight but feels slightly on the heavier side without being bulky. It won��t weigh you down and still has enough flexibility so you can move without feeling stiff. The colors are bright, vibrant, and truly neon. The quality is A1, and this is a 10/10 for quality, style, and storage compartments. The quality is so nice that if it came in all black, I would absolutely wear as an everyday jacket, not just for safety or work.

"This high-vis jacket is everything a safety coat should be — and then a little bit more. The quality is immediately obvious the moment you pull it out of the packaging: excellent stitching, robust construction, and thoughtful design choices everywhere you look.

The pocket layout? Chef’s kiss. Plenty of storage, smart placement, and the clear ID window is perfect for anyone working on-site or needing to flash credentials without playing pocket-fishing bingo.

Inside, it’s warm without being a personal sauna — that rare balance where you stay cozy but don’t feel like you’re being slow-roasted in your own sweat. The waterproofing and wind protection are solid, and the high-visibility orange could probably be seen from the ISS."

This is a solid, well-built work jacket. The Velcro sleeve adjustments are handy, the hood snaps off easy, and the radio mic loop is exactly what you want on the job. The lining is warm without being bulky, and the jacket feels tough enough for everyday work. Just a heads-up — it’s not FR rated, so if your job requires that, keep it in mind. Otherwise, this thing is perfect for guys who need a warm, hi-vis jacket that can handle real jobsite use.

My husband climbs towers (telecommunications) for a living, so having warm clothes when he's 150-350 feet in the air during our Michigan winters is essential.

So far, my husband has been extremely pleased with this JKS Safety jacket. The fit (Large) is perfect - not too big when he wears it by itself but not too small to fit thermal layers and a sweatshirt underneath. He says it makes an excellent windbreaker and also kept him dry during freezing rain. He really enjoys that all of the pockets have zippers and that the arm has additional pockets for markers, pens or small tools.

Overall he claims this Jacket outperforms similar jackets we have purchased in the past but paid almost double for. Definitely recommended for those in the trades.

Great winter jacket for doing activities where you have to be seen but also work in an area where it's cool, not freezing but anything above 20 degrees Fahrenheit and below 50 Fahrenheit.

This is an ANSI Type 1 Jacket. Key characteristics of ANSI Class 1 apparel are:

Risk level: Low-risk environments where the worker is well-separated from traffic and vehicles do not exceed 25 mph.

Worker focus: Workers can give their full attention to their tasks, as they are not required to constantly monitor traffic.

Examples of use: Parking lot attendants, warehouse workers, and those in controlled indoor environments like shipping and receiving docks.

Design requirements: Must have a minimum amount of background and reflective material to outline the body.

Type: Also known as "Type O" for off-road applications.

Now you can get this jacket in Orange or Yellow or Black. I got mine in black because of my job and it's good for that.

The softshell is water resistant but not water proof so keep that in mind too when working in rainy or snowy conditions.

A well-made safety jacket! From the waterproof, soft exterior to the fleece-lined interior, this jacket feels protective. The reflective strips work great, and the hood is detachable. The sleeves are adjustable with Velcro sewn at the wrist area. The zippers open and close easily and include an extra layer of fabric for wind protection. It features both open and zippered pockets. This jacket definitely keeps warmth in. Overall, it's an amazingly made and well-thought-out safety jacket; perfect for emergency situations. The bright yellow and orange colors are easy to spot from far away.

In the winter time I don't have the luxury of big puffy coast because I drive a concrete mixer with a very small cab. Those larger coats make me feel restrained and constricted. I usually end up wearing a sweatshirt but sometimes the bitter cold and wind Make that uncomfortable. So immediately after unboxing this I had to put it on. At first I thought that it might be a little too stiff, but after a moment I realized that it was quite comfortable and extremely warm. The inner lining is very soft and comfortable The outer rain proof and seemingly windproof exterior is very durable It has multiple pockets and even a slot for the paperwork on the sleeve. This comes in a lot of colors but I chose black because I work around grease a lot and it tends to show up on the neon colors. The hood is removal with four easy snaps. In the high-vis tape is just that very bright very reflective. I wish this came in 3x but 2X fit me okay It runs a little long on the sleeves but it has velcro at a tighten the ends so you don't get lost inside of it. My only complaint is that you might actually get too warm in this thing definitely a five-star review

I recently received this "JKSafety Safety Jackets for Men Hi Vis Waterproof Softshell Jackets with Detachable Hood" and I'm IMPRESSED! This is a fantastic softshell jacket for a variety of professions!

This particular model was the 'Yellowblack' and ISN'T heated (it also comes in black and in orange!) There are also two heated models that come in black and yellowblack (look closely at the images - the heated models will have red around the stomach area to indicate they're heated, as well as "Heated" in the title and be about $20 more)

This is a very well made safety jacket that comes in sizes up to XXL - we got the XXL and it fits my 6'0 tall husband perfectly. He has a longer torso and often has issues with shirts and jackets being too short. This was a perfect fit for his build (a little thicker in the stomach and hips). It's even a bit longer in the back to cover the booty. There were zero loose stitches, every zipper and pocket worked flawlessly. It's lined with a nice soft, yet warm fleece without being too heavy. The yellow is very bright and I LOVE the hood! He prefers the unheated version because he tends to get too hot while working. (He's already used it extensively and it needs a wash, don't mind the dirt - he's a working man lol)

This is an excellent value at it's current price point! 100% recommend!

This is a pretty nice waterproof reflective jacket. The outer material feels like neoprene and is very flexible making this jacket fairly comfortable and not stiff like many rain jackets are. The inner fleece isn't very thick but it is soft, comfortable and warm. This jacket is what I'd consider a fall and early spring jacket, though if you have mild winters like I do here it could make a good final windproof and waterproof layer for riding in winter. The jacket has inner drawstrings at the waist, the hood has it's own drawstring and snaps on so is easy to add/remove. There is a backing strip behind the zipper which loops over at the top and gives padding between the top of the zipper and your neck. I do like that feature, it makes the jacket more comfortable and shows some thought went into the design. The outer pockets are of a decent size and all zippers work great but one drawback for me is that there is no inner wallet/phone pocket.

I have small wrists and often jackets like this run out of velcro before I can get them tight enough but not this one, it had plenty of adjustment velcro even for my tiny wrists. The main issues I have with the jacket is that it is a bit large and there were some loose/scraggly threads in a couple of areas. I'm the quintessential medium, a 38 regular, and even though I had on two layers under the jacket it was still a bit too wide at the shoulders and the sleeves hung to my knuckles. In a way that's good, I could literally wear this jacket over my winter leathers without issue and the wrist adjustments help with the too long sleeves. As for the loose threads, a very small amount of fabric glue carefully applied and some light trimming took care of them.

My kitchen sink has a very high pressure sprayer so I held a sleeve under it for several minutes. While the outer fabric did appear to absorb a small amount of water and adopted a wet look (last picture) no water came through. For a riding rain jacket it might be alright as is but I'll probably spray it down with silicon waterproofing just to be sure.

All in all I'm quite satisfied with this reflective jacket and believe it will make me much more visible when out riding my motorcycle. I recommend it as a good addition for safety because far too many don't pay enough attention while driving so anything making you more visible and harder to miss/ignore is a safety bonus.
