Ergodyne Mens Hi-vis – Class 3 Hi Vis Thermal Parka Quilted, Lime, 4X-Large US

This jacket is great for a really cold day.  I personally own this jacket and have worn it on highway projects where it is cold and windy.  This jacket kept me very, very warm.    It is a 3/4 length jacket so it gives you some extra length which comes in handy for us big guys who get tired of jackets riding up when we bend over.  It has a waist cord to pull the jacket tight on really cold days and it is thermal quilted.    The hood does not detach but there is a pocket to hide the hood when you don’t need it.  Also, it is Class 3 rated.  Great jacket for those really cold days.
