Bomber Jackets
Hi-Vis Bomber Jackets - ANSI Class 3 Reflective Outerwear
Bomber jackets are the most widely used style of high-visibility cold-weather outerwear on job sites, built with a close-fitting waist and cuff design (elastic ribbing or knit trim) that reduces wind infiltration compared to longer parka-style coats. Nearly every bomber jacket in this collection meets ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 certification, the highest visibility class for workers exposed to traffic moving 25+ mph or working near heavy equipment, with 2" reflective tape arranged around the torso, shoulders, and sleeves for 360° visibility.
A defining feature of this category is the "transformer" or convertible construction used by many models — jackets described as 2-in-1, 3-in-1, 5-in-1, or 8-in-1 systems combine a waterproof shell with a zip-out fleece or quilted liner, removable sleeves, and sometimes a separate vest component, letting one garment adapt across a wider temperature range than a single fixed-insulation jacket. Black-bottom styling (a black panel at the waist, cuffs, and collar) is standard across most models specifically to hide dirt and grease in industrial and warehouse settings where a solid bright-color hem would show wear quickly.
Shell materials are predominantly 300-denier PU-coated Oxford polyester for waterproof, sealed-seam protection, with quilted polyester or fleece linings rated for cold-weather use. The collection includes options from Majestic Glove, OccuNomix, PIP, GSS, Radians, Portwest, Pyramex, Tough Duck, Kishigo, ERB, and Utility Pro, including X-back reflective striping styles, PrimaLoft insulated winter versions, and ripstop fabric options. Use the filters to sort by ANSI class, number of pockets, closure type, and size, including extended sizing up to 6XL.

Hi-Vis Bomber Jackets — Frequently Asked Questions
These numbers describe how many wearable configurations the jacket system supports through removable or convertible components. A "2-in-1" jacket (like the OccuNomix LUX-350-JB-B) typically has a zip-out liner, so it can be worn as a fully insulated winter jacket or as a lighter shell alone — two configurations from one garment. Higher numbers like "5-in-1" or "8-in-1" (such as the Majestic 75-1383) add removable sleeves, a separate vest component, and sometimes a reversible liner, multiplying the wearable combinations. This lets one jacket system replace several single-purpose garments and adapt as the weather or task changes throughout a shift or season, which is often more economical than purchasing separate jackets for each condition.
Black bottom panels, cuffs, and collars are a practical design choice for industrial environments — the waist, wrists, and collar areas of a jacket accumulate dirt, grease, and wear faster than the rest of the garment through contact with tools, equipment, and surfaces. A solid bright fluorescent color in these high-contact zones would show staining and wear quickly, requiring more frequent replacement. Black panels mask this wear while the ANSI-required fluorescent background material and reflective tape remain concentrated on the torso and sleeves where visibility certification standards require them, so the black bottom styling does not reduce ANSI compliance.
The large majority are ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 certified, the highest visibility classification, appropriate for workers exposed to high-speed traffic, complex backgrounds, or low-light conditions. A smaller number of non-ANSI or enhanced-visibility styles (such as the GSS 8013 and 8014) are also available — these use fluorescent or bright color without formal ANSI certification, suited for environments where visibility is desired but not mandated by OSHA, FHWA, or site policy. Always check the specific product's ANSI Certified filter or spec sheet before ordering for a job requiring Class 3 compliance, since not every bomber-style jacket in the broader collection carries certification.
Bomber jackets are cut to waist or hip length with elastic or ribbed cuffs and hem, giving a closer fit that reduces wind infiltration and stays clear of moving machinery and tools. Parkas extend to mid-thigh or longer for greater coverage and warmth, trading some mobility for additional protection in extreme cold or prolonged outdoor exposure. Bomber jackets are generally preferred for active work requiring more freedom of movement, while parkas suit static or slow-paced outdoor work in colder climates. See the Hi-Vis Parkas category for longer-coverage options.
