Blaklader 3091 Softshell Vest Hi-Vis

The Blaklader 3091 is a lightweight, hi-vis softshell vest engineered to deliver the rare combination of all-weather protection, full freedom of movement and serious on-site visibility. Soft, stretchy and flexible thanks to its premium 3-layer softshell material, it gives you the comfort of a casual gilet with the technical performance of professional workwear.

Whether you're directing traffic, working trackside, surveying a building site or running a utilities crew, the 3091 keeps you visible, dry and unrestricted from morning briefing to last light.

Why Choose the Blaklader 3091 Softshell Vest?

Hi-vis safety where it counts — Two-tone design with segmented reflective tape on the front and back, plus reflective detailing for 360° visibility in low light. Certified to EN ISO 20471.

Built for the elements — Waterproof to 10,000mm, fully windproof and breathable (Ret 20.0). Stays dry without trapping heat or sweat inside.

2-way stretch comfort — The 92% polyester / 8% elastane fabric flexes with you, eliminating the bulk and stiffness of traditional hi-vis garments.

Smart, practical detailing — Removable ID pocket, D-rings, multiple zipped pockets, and an extended back with drawstring hem to keep your lower back covered when you're bending and lifting.

Premium softshell construction — At 265 g/m², the 3-layer fabric is durable enough for daily site wear yet light enough to layer under a jacket in colder months.

Engineered for All-Weather Visibility

The Blaklader 3091 doesn't just look the part — it performs. The waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane keeps the elements out without taped seams, relying on a high-performance 3-layer softshell construction that's been independently rated.

The two-tone design — with shoulder panels in a contrasting colour — adds a sharp, professional finish, while segmented reflective tape ensures your outline is clearly visible from every angle, day or night.

Sizing-based hi-vis certification:

• EN ISO 20471 Class 1 (XS)
• EN ISO 20471 Class 2 (S and larger)
• Combination Certification D (XS) and Combination Certification A (S+)

This means you get certified hi-vis performance scaled appropriately to garment size, with combination certification options for layering with other Blaklader hi-vis garments.
