Viking Green Professional Arctic 300D Tri-zone Jacket

Insulated Hi-Vis Jacket for Cold-Weather Work

The Viking Green Professional Arctic 300D Tri-zone Jacket is an insulated jacket designed for road crews, utility workers, and equipment operators working in cold outdoor environments who need adaptable high visibility layering for extended shifts. This Tri-zone Jacket meets CSA Z96-09 Class 2, Level 2 and meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 Class 3, Level 2 on the jacket; the system becomes CSA Class 3 when worn as a suit and the bib pants meet Class E, Level 2. Available through All Safety, the jacket uses rip-stop polyester and 3M Scotchlite reflective tape to support visibility and durability in severe conditions.

Industry Applications and Professional Use

Transportation Work Environments

Flaggers and highway crews typically use this high-visibility jacket when they work on roadways in cold weather to maintain visibility near traffic. The 3M Scotchlite reflective tape and Tri-zone design support layered use across changing temperatures. Workers benefit from generous sizing and durable rip-stop polyester for long shifts.

Utilities Work Environments

Utility workers commonly use this insulated jacket for winter line maintenance where thermal protection and clear identification matter. The detachable hood and insulated liner allow field crews to adapt to weather while keeping tools and ID accessible. Double-sewn, taped, and heat-sealed seams help maintain garment integrity during rugged tasks.

Construction Work Environments

Equipment operators and site crews generally wear this Tri-zone Jacket on cold construction sites for layered warmth and high visibility. The heavy-duty 300 denier Trilobal rip-stop polyester with PU backing offers abrasion and snag resistance around machinery. Workers appreciate the 3-in-1 system that combines outer shell, insulated liner, and removable liner for variable conditions.

Oil & Gas and Mining Work Environments

Field technicians and maintenance teams often choose this insulated jacket for cold-climate extraction sites where durability and visibility matter. The jacket’s reinforced construction and taped seams suit environments that demand abrasion and puncture resistance. The jacket supports long-duration outdoor duties with thermal layering options.

Municipal Services Work Environments

Snow-clearing and road maintenance crews typically use this high-visibility workwear for seasonal, daily-use operations on municipal vehicles and sidewalks. The 3-in-1 system and detachable StormBlaster hood help crews adapt to changing weather across a shift. Reflective tape in DOT configuration aids visibility for crews near traffic.

Technical Specifications and Product Features

Understanding Product Standards

Technical features and standards matter for hi-vis workwear because they define visibility performance and layering capability on site. This jacket combines certified visibility classes, robust materials, and an insulated liner to address cold weather work demands. Use the specs below to confirm suitability for your tasks.

What does CSA Z96-09 Class 2, Level 2 mean for visibility requirements?

CSA Z96-09 Class 2, Level 2 indicates a specified minimum area of background and retroreflective material designed for moderate-risk work near traffic. Employers and safety coordinators commonly select Class 2 garments for roadside and maintenance tasks where workers need improved visibility without full Class 3 coverage.

Use Case Scenarios and Applications

Outdoor Cold-Weather Daily Use

For full-shift outdoor duties, workers typically wear the Tri-zone Jacket as the outer layer and add or remove the ThermoMAXX liner per conditions. The detachable hood and large pockets support practical field use. Generous sizing maintains mobility when workers bend, climb, or operate equipment.

Seasonal Transition and Layering

Crews often use the 3-in-1 system during seasonal transitions by wearing the liner alone on milder days and combining it with the shell as temperatures drop. The Arctic LITE liner offers a lighter thermal option, while the full system increases insulation for extreme cold. This flexibility reduces the need for multiple separate jackets.

Weather-Dependent High-Visibility Tasks

When visibility conditions change rapidly, workers commonly rely on the 3M Scotchlite tape and contrasting layout to maintain conspicuity. The jacket’s taped seams and robust shell help it perform during wet, windy, or abrasive conditions. Radio and ID chest straps keep critical items accessible.

Ideal Applications and Work Environments

Where This Product Category Excels

• Highway and road construction: The reflective tape and heavy insulation suit prolonged outdoor work in cold climates.
• Utility line winter maintenance: Detachable hood and layered liner allow adjustment for climbing and aerial work.
• Municipal snow-clearing operations: The 3-in-1 system adapts to variable temperatures during long shifts.
• Oil & gas or mining cold-weather tasks: Rip-stop shell and taped seams provide durability in abrasive environments.

Not Recommended For

• Electrical work requiring Class E dielectric protection on the jacket alone: The jacket listing references Class E, Level 2 on bib pants, so the jacket alone may not meet electrical dielectric requirements; consider certified arc-rated or dielectric outerwear instead.
• Specialized arc flash or welding applications: This high-visibility insulated jacket does not substitute for flame-resistant or arc-rated garments designed for hot-work hazards.

Professional Applications

Workers Who Rely on This Equipment
