SUMMARY

The Chester is a reversible winter jacket: one high-visibility side certified to EN ISO 20471 class 3, one navy side to wear off duty. The 140 g/m² padding, the hood and the zipped pockets are the same whichever way round you wear it. Sizes S to 3XL.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Reversible Winter Work Jacket Chester — CXS

Protection Severe Cold
Versatility Reversible, 2 sides
Insulation 140 g/m² padding
Thermal protection −20 °C / −4 °F*
Reversible jacket Working life one side, civilian life the other

Two jackets in one, the same warmth on both sides

The Chester answers the days that happen in two places. One side carries the high visibility, in fluorescent yellow or orange depending on the model, with its segmented reflective tapes, which follow your movement better than a continuous band. The other is a padded navy side, with discreet contrast trims and reflective details. Turn the jacket inside out and you change register without changing garment. The 140 g/m² padding is the same whichever side you wear outermost, as are the hood, the elasticated cuffs and hem and the zipped pockets found on both sides.

Grand-Froid expert's view

A lot of people carry two jackets through the winter: the one for work and the one for everything else. This does both, and that is one less thing taking up room in the cab or by the front door. Turning it round takes a minute, once the pockets are empty.

Men's reversible high-visibility winter work jacket Chester CXS
What is it designed for?

This jacket is for trades that move between an area where high visibility is required and a place where it is not, several times a day.

  • Trades and site management: out on site in the morning, meeting a client in the afternoon
  • Transport and delivery: high visibility on the loading bay, navy side in the cab and on breaks
  • Roadworks and highways: working on or beside the carriageway, fluorescent side outermost
  • Aviation, shipping and logistics: aprons, quays, yards, where a signalling garment is standard
  • The commute and after work: the same jacket goes off duty, with nothing on it that says work

Thermal protection

The 140 g/m² padding fills the space between the two faces. Its fibres hold a layer of air, and it is that still air that insulates. The hood, the elasticated cuffs and the elasticated hem close the openings through which that warm air would escape. This is a jacket built for moderate to sustained physical activity: on a completely static post, a thicker mid layer underneath comes into its own.

The temperature figure is a Grand-Froid usage guide, carried by the asterisk and the footnote. It is separate from the certifications, which cover visibility and behaviour in the cold, not a value in degrees.

What the certification covers, and on which side

The jacket is certified to EN ISO 20471 class 3, the highest level of the standard, the one for work on live carriageways. That conformity applies only when the high-visibility side is worn outermost: the manufacturer states this itself. Turned onto its navy side, the jacket keeps its warmth, its pockets and its reflective details, and becomes an ordinary winter jacket, to be worn away from areas where a signalling garment is required.

High-visibility conformity is guaranteed for 25 wash cycles. Beyond that the jacket still keeps you warm, but its level of signalling is no longer covered by the certification. On the cold side, the jacket is certified to EN 14058 with class 3 thermal resistance, class 2 air permeability and a measured insulation of 0.201 m²·K/W. The X in the marking means resistance to water penetration was not assessed.

Size guide

Sizes S to 3XL. Take your usual size. If you plan to wear it over a thick fleece for static work, go one size up. The measurements below are those of the jacket laid flat, not body measurements.

Measurements in cm, taken flat. Manufacturing tolerance ± 5%.

Care & Durability
  • 25 wash cycles maximum: beyond that, high-visibility conformity is no longer guaranteed
  • Wash as a synthetic fabric, at 40 °C / 104 °F maximum, on a delicate cycle
  • No BIO detergent and no optical brighteners: these agents settle on the fluorescent fabric and distort its colour
  • No fabric softener
  • Rinse in cold water and use a short spin
  • No bleaching, no tumble drying, no ironing, no dry cleaning
  • Dry in open air, away from a radiator, turning the jacket over now and then so the padding regains its loft
  • The care symbols are on the label sewn into the garment

Cleaning the reflective tapes by hand between machine washes extends their service life:

  • Water at 40 °C / 104 °F, with a soft cloth, a sponge or a soft brush
  • A gentle detergent or cleaning agent
  • Rinse, then leave to dry in open air

Why choose the Chester jacket?

Because it does away with the second jacket. One garment covers the area where signalling is required and the whole rest of the day, with the same warmth on either side.

What you wear underneath changes everything:

  • Active days — handling, walking, carrying loads: a thin under layer is enough, a microfleece or a light jumper. Perspiration moves out instead of building up, and it is perspiration that chills you the moment you slow down.
  • Static or very cold days — security, driving, waiting: the body produces little heat, and that is where a thick fleece under the jacket earns its place, adding a layer of air to the one held by the padding.

* Indicative temperature for moderate to sustained activity. Perceived warmth varies with activity, body type, humidity, wind and the layers worn underneath.
