Posted By wayne purchase Hello Everyone, I am having difficulty identifing a good Hi-viz jacket for our forklift drivers(everyone says WHAT??) I have noticed that standard hi-viz jackets have a non water proof cloth inner cuff that with constant movement also getting on and off the truck will allow water to get into the sleeve( when raining) is there such a jacket that has a water proof cuff? or is there some sort of add on that can be obtained?? many thanks for your views Cheers Wayne

Posted By Delwynne There are plenty of jackets out there that have 'waterproof' cuffs, as an example http://www.greenham.com/...y-Bomber-Gore-Tex-Jacket What are the specific problems you are having identifying Hi-viz for the forklift drivers? Is it comfort, or practicality?

Posted By Graham Halliday If you want something good, you can't go far wrong with a Gore-Tex jacket - will come with storm cuffs etc but they don't come cheap. You can pick them up at any of the large industrial outlets such as Greenham or Arco.
