FAQs

Q: What safety certification should I look for in a jacket?
A: Look for CE / EN standards — for example EN 17092, EN 1621-1 / 2 for armour. These ensure impact and abrasion protection according to European norms.

Q: Is leather safer than textile jackets?
A: Both can be safe; leather has excellent abrasion resistance, while textile jackets with certified armour + waterproof membranes can offer versatile protection for weather and impact.

Q: Should safety jackets also have reflective material?
A: Yes — reflective strips or panels are crucial for being seen during dawn, dusk or poor visibility. They improve safety significantly, especially in UK lighting conditions.

Q: How do I ensure a safety jacket fits correctly?
A: Ensure armour sits over joints properly (shoulder, elbow, back), sleeves and waist are adjustable, and the jacket doesn’t ride up when bending or leaning forward.
