Blue Whale J86 – Hi Vis Soft Shell Jackets Day Use

When the weather turns cold, wet, or windy, staying warm, dry, and visible on the job is essential. The Blue Whale J86 Hi Vis Soft Shell Jacket (Day Use) is the perfect combination of modern design, high-tech fabric, and practical functionality, making it ideal for outdoor workers, tradies, and anyone needing reliable Hi-Vis protection during cooler months. Designed for both indoor and outdoor work, this soft shell jacket delivers comfort, mobility, and compliance without compromising on style.

The J86 is crafted from waterproof and windproof fabric with a breathable membrane, ensuring that your body stays dry even in the harshest conditions. Unlike heavier, bulkier jackets, the J86 uses a lighter and thinner fabric, enhancing mobility and making it easy to wear during physically demanding tasks. Whether you’re bending, lifting, or moving around a construction site or warehouse, this jacket keeps you comfortable and protected all day long.

Inside, the J86 features a bonded internal super fine polar fleece, providing warmth without adding unnecessary weight. This fleece layer retains heat effectively, keeping you snug during cold mornings or rainy afternoons, while the breathable membrane ensures moisture doesn’t build up inside the jacket. Combined with 100% polyester mesh lining at the full front, this jacket keeps you both dry and comfortable during extended wear.

Practicality is built into every detail of the J86. Waterproof zips on the front and all pockets prevent water from entering, while a stylish vertical zippered pocket on the right chest and zippered side pockets offer secure storage for essentials like your phone, wallet, or tools. For added protection against the elements, the hidden adjustable draw cord at the bottom hem and sleeve cuff adjusters reduce water and wind entry, keeping you warm and dry from head to wrist.

Safety is paramount for Hi-Vis workwear, and the J86 meets the latest Australian standards. It complies with Hi Vis Safety Garment Standards AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2010, classified as Class D for Day Use Only. This ensures you remain highly visible in daylight conditions, meeting compliance requirements for workplaces across Australia.
