X Back Hi Vis Rain Jackets - ANSI Class 3 Waterproof Rain Jackets with X Back Reflective Tape

Safety Smart Gear carries ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 Type R Class 3 X Back high visibility rain jackets for construction workers, roadway crews, and utility workers who need maximum rear-facing visibility in wet weather conditions.

What is X Back on a hi vis rain jacket? The X Back configuration refers to the pattern of 2" silver retroreflective tape on the back of the garment. Instead of horizontal bands running straight across the back, the X Back pattern runs two diagonal stripes from each shoulder down to opposite hip corners, forming an X shape on the rear of the jacket. This creates a highly distinctive reflective signature when seen from behind — particularly important for workers whose backs face traffic, including paving crews, utility workers in manholes, and construction workers operating machinery. X Back jackets meet ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 Type R Class 3 standards while providing enhanced rear identification.

X Back rain jackets in this catalog feature PU-coated waterproof polyester shells with sealed seams, contrasting black bottom panels, mic tabs, pack-away hoods for hard hat compatibility, and two-tone reflective striping combining horizontal front stripes with the diagonal X Back rear pattern. Available in ANSI yellow/green and orange. Key brands include Nasco (specialist rain gear manufacturer), Neese Industries (AirTex breathable technology), and GSS (ONYX ripstop with Teflon Shield protection). Majestic and Portwest also offer X Back rain jacket styles within the broader hi vis rain jacket range.
