Blue Whale J81 – Hi Vis Arctic Jacket

When you’re working outdoors in freezing temps, gusty winds, or cold, wet jobsite conditions, you need a work jacket that won’t muck around. The Blue Whale J81 Hi Vis Arctic Jacket is built tough for industrial use and designed specifically for Aussie workers who need warmth, durability, and high visibility throughout the day. Whether you’re on a construction site, at a warehouse, in transport, or working outdoors during winter, this jacket delivers reliable protection you can count on.

Built Tough for Harsh Conditions

Constructed with a 300D polyester outer shell with PU coating, the J81 is made to withstand demanding industrial environments. This heavy-duty fabric resists tears, scuffs, and rough handling, making it perfect for workers who need gear that can hold up against daily wear and tear. The PU coating adds water resistance to help keep you dry when the weather suddenly turns.

The jacket also features fully seam-sealed waterproofing, stopping rain, sprays, and moisture from seeping through. With the addition of a full front zip protected by a Velcro storm flap, you’re getting double the protection from wind and water, ensuring you stay warm and comfortable even in terrible weather.

Serious Warmth with Smart Design

The Blue Whale J81 Arctic Jacket isn’t just water resistant – it’s built for warmth. The inner structure is designed to trap heat effectively, making this jacket ideal for cold mornings, frosty job sites, and winter shifts.

Two large quilted front pockets with protective flaps keep your hands warm and provide convenient storage for essentials like gloves, tools, or personal items. Inside, the layout includes dedicated pockets for your mobile phone and pens, helping you stay organised throughout the workday. Everything you need is always within easy reach without sacrificing safety or mobility.
