FAQ – High-Visibility Self-Extinguishing Rain Jacket
1. What makes this rain jacket self-extinguishing?
This jacket meets the ASTM D6413 standard for self-extinguishing materials, meaning it’s designed to stop burning once the ignition source is removed. With a flameout of less than 2 seconds and a char length under 6 inches, it provides an added layer of safety in environments where limited flame exposure may occur. However, it’s not intended for use where arc flash or flash fire hazards are present, as those require specialized FR-rated garments.
2. Is this jacket suitable for electrical or utility work?
Yes. The jacket includes non-conductive hardware, making it safer for environments where contact with electrical equipment is possible. It’s also ANSI Class 3 compliant, ensuring maximum visibility for utility workers, construction crews, and roadside personnel.
3. How does this jacket perform in rainy or windy weather?
Engineered for extreme wet conditions, the 0.18 mm polyurethane-coated 150D oxford polyester shell offers complete waterproof and windproof protection. Fully taped seams prevent water penetration, and the storm flap with snap closure ensures that rain and wind stay out even in driving conditions.
4. Does it provide good ventilation for all-day wear?
Yes. The jacket features a vented cape back that promotes air circulation, helping reduce heat buildup and keeping the wearer more comfortable during long shifts. The elastic inner sleeves and adjustable hook-and-loop wrist cuffs also enhance comfort and fit, sealing out rain while maintaining breathability.
5. What visibility features does this rain jacket offer?
The jacket’s high-visibility yellow/green color combined with 3M™ reflective tape ensures superior visibility during both day and night operations. It’s ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class 3 and Type R compliant, making it suitable for roadway, utility, and construction work where high visibility is critical.
6. Can I use this jacket for fire protection or welding?
No. While it’s self-extinguishing, it is not flame-resistant in the sense required for welding, flash fire, or arc flash protection. Its flame-retardant properties are designed for incidental exposure to sparks or low-level heat, not sustained or high-intensity flame environments.
7. How do I care for this rain jacket to maintain its performance?
To prolong its self-extinguishing and waterproof properties, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying. Over time and after multiple washes, the self-extinguishing treatment will diminish, so it’s best to inspect regularly and replace when necessary for full safety compliance.
8. What storage or convenience features are included?
This jacket is designed for professional convenience with a concealed hood, a large front pocket with flap, and a clear name tag holder for quick identification. It’s also retail-packaged with hanging grommets, making it easy to display, store, or transport between job sites.
