Charles River Apparel Men's Signal Hi-vis Waterproof Jacket (Regular & Big-Tall Sizes)

This jacket is an excellent product, for the money (I paid $60.44). It's not bulky and layers very nicely. Zippers are good quality. Paired with thermal underwear and a flannel shirt, it's all you need for any temperatures north of antarctica. The arms billow out slightly to provide more dead air insulation and more reflective surface area, and are also insulated (although not lined with fleece -- they are instead lined with a satin-like layer with a third layer of insulation between the shell and lining, which makes it easier to slip in and out of the garment). The outer shell is a water and wind resistant 3M Scotchlite material that fluoresces brightly when illuminated.I'm not sure how rip-resistant the outer shell is. I routinely have to walk around trailers at work and am concerned that the shell might get caught on an exposed rivet or metal edge and tear the garment. That said, for the price, I'm willing to assume that risk.UPDATE:The outer shell appears to be holding up rather well to my nightly abuse. I've gotten stuck on plenty of jagged edges along the sides of various trailer types, and I still haven't managed to tear it. That is good. Grease and grime show up very quickly and stand out when juxtaposed against the reflective shell material, which is not good but to be expected.This thing is actually uncomfortably hot at temperatures above 40 degrees fahrenheit. This jacket is not for southern climes. I find myself taking it off in the cab of the truck because I'm sweating too much. Better for outdoor use. Oh yes, and because the neck is pretty much open, you are really going to want a scarf to wear with it on a very cold day/night.UPDATE 2:After wearing this for several months, I find that there is a lot of piling around the cuffs, and I now have one tear in the 3M Scotchlite shell. I don't fault the jacket for the rip; anything would have ripped eventually with the jagged metal parts I squeeze around all day every day. I'm not going to take away any stars, because the jacket was only $60 some odd dollars. I figure I'll get another season or two out of this one before replacing.

this is the second time I Bought this jacket,has a very tough exterior and as wind resistant Which helps keep you warm. only reason I bought a new one Was that I got Fifth wheel grease on old one and couldn't get it all cleaned out And I wanted a nice clean jacket.

I bought this jacket for my husband. This was the one he wanted. It is exceptional quality, yet light weight for a comfortable fit!

This coat does exactly what I need it to do.Plus, its pretty warm. The side zippers are a nice feature also.I wish it had a few more pockets but that isn't really an issue.It does tend to 'crinkle' a little bit. especially if you don't hang it up. If you keep it balled up in the back seat, you'll end up with permanent wrinkles.The seller was extremely quick. It came days before the estimated date, and was exactly as advertised.I'm six feet tall, and fairly thin, this SMALL fits perfectly. It is short though. It just barely covers my belt but thats what I expected.Hard to beat for the price.

I actually purchased the yellow version of jacket 5 years ago, but the zipper toggle broke recently.(the coat still zipped, but I moving the zipper was problematic) I was thrilled to see I could replace it, and there was an option of the blue color. This jacket is so very warm, waterproof (great for snow shoveling) and with the reflective strip, I feel safe when I go out for a walk. The blue color is terrific. True to size and just an overall great coat.

This jacket is really nice!My wife likes it better than the dirty old orange one I have!I ordered the XXL size and was expecting it to be a little looser fit to get a hoodedfleece under it. So I would say they run a little small. Just so you know I am 5' 11" and 225lbs.Update:I have had this jacket for 2 weeks now.It is very warm and wind proof!I have no doubt I will stay warm down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Above 40 it is actually too warm to wear it.Good LuckGod Bless!

I bought this 1 size larger with the intention of layering it up with shirt & hoodie. FITS PERFECTLY. I'm 5'6"and normally wear a medium, the large is perfect for a couple of extra layers plush NOT too big when worn alone. EXCELLENT construction; very durable and completely weather-proof. I've worn it in single-digit temps with a hoodie and have been toasty; I've worn it single layer in 45 degree damp/rainy weather and have been equally happy. Highly reflective for visibility, knit cuffs keep wind out. As other reviewers have said, the only thing lacking is a HOOD. I have requested this feature to the manufacturer.

It’s not very comfortable, would not recommend one bit. The interior of the sleeves feel like it was made out of reused trash bags, the outer material resembles an old tarp in its gritty-ness and noise(because this thing is LOUD). Not to mention who likes having pockets located so high up? The large fit me fine yet the pockets are located around my ribs rather than my stomach. Just a personal preference thing but I’m disappointed. Looks like I’ll have to buy another one elsewhere.

Jacket fits great, exactly what i wanted

excellent for being seen,an keep one warm and dry in winter months,an being in Nova Scotia Canada,and also school bus driver,getting up around 3 am to do your Pretrips it is very helpful,has plenty of pocket space,an i Enjoy it!

Hubby loves this jacket and was so happy I bought it for him. A nice in- between jacket for those not -40C winter days in Alberta.
