Elbeco has launched the Shield HiVis Reversible Soft Shell, which the company says is the first in the industry. When law enforcement professionals are constantly on the go, their outerwear has to be just as flexible to situations as the professionals. To fit this need, Elbeco, known for its manufacture and supply of professional uniforms for over a century, combined two of its most desired jackets – the Shield HiVis Soft Shell and the Shield Performance Soft Shell – to result in one dynamic product.

Features and Benefits Include:

Poly ripstop shell reverses to a hivis microfleece soft shell
HiVis Side has heat sealed 3M patterned reflective striping – certified to ANSI 107-2010 Class 2 Level 2. Eligible for Homeland Security and Fire Act grant programs as PPE
Navy Side has enlarged upper Concealed-Carry/utility chest pockets with magnet closures
Side zipper vents with stability tab with adjustable snaps
Dual large lower hand warmer pockets with zipper closure and “D” ring
Two-way full length nylon zipper
Hidden zipper access in chest pocket for application of embroidery, heat seal and patches
Dual low profile utility shoulder straps
Shirred elastic hem helps lock out wind and cold
Locker loop in collar seam
Can be worn as a stand-alone outer garment and has the weight of a mid-layer liner
