PULSAR® React RCT804 & RCT805 GRS 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt – Various Colours

£49.50 ex VAT

[display_tax]

The RCT805 & 804 is a high-visibility quarter-zip sweat (mid-layer) designed for professionals working in high-visibility environments who need both visibility and comfort. It sits within the REACT collection, which emphasises sustainability, modern design, and function. As a quarter-zip rather than an outer shell, it is intended for layering under waterproofs or wearing on its own in less severe conditions.


Materials & Construction

  • Fabric: Made with 100% recycled polyester, giving it eco-credentials.

  • Finish: Treated with a C0 Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to add stain or light-rain resistance.

  • Inner: Brushed inner face (fleece-style) for wearer comfort against the skin.

  • Fit/Design: Ribbed, stretchy cuffs for comfort and movement; quarter-zip design gives adjustable ventilation.


Visibility, Certification & Safety

  • High-visibility: Available in Hi-Vis Orange (and Hi-Vis Yellow in sibling model RCT804).

  • Reflective Tape: It features segmented or structured high-visibility tape with shoulder braces on front and back—improving visibility from multiple angles.

  • Certification:

    • If in Hi-Vis Orange version: Certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 + A1:2016 Class 3 (maximum for high-visibility workwear) and RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 (rail-industry specification) for orange variant.

    • Certified to 25 wash cycles, maintaining its high-visibility compliance after industrial washing.


Functional Features & Use

  • Comfort & layering: As a fleece style quarter zip, it works well as a mid-layer under outer shells (for cold/wet conditions) or on its own when less weather protection is required.

  • Ventilation: The quarter-zip allows the wearer to regulate temperature when active or when moving between indoor/outdoor environments.

  • Fabric Stretch & Movement: The ribbed cuffs and flexible design support mobility, which is important for active work roles.

  • High Visibility Role: Designed for workers on road maintenance, rail (Orange Only), highways or general construction where Hi-Vis Class 3 is required.

  • Sustainability: The use of 100% recycled polyester and attention to environmentally safer finishes (C0 DWR rather than PFAS heavy) suggests PULSAR’s intent to reduce environmental footprint.


Strengths & Considerations

Strengths:

  • High-visibility Class 3 certification means it meets strict safety standards in visibility zones.

  • Quarter-zip design offers more flexibility than a full zip or pullover, good for layering systems.

  • Comfortable fleece-style inner means good wearability over longer shifts.

  • Sustainable materials give a plus for corporate responsibility and eco-conscious purchasing.

Considerations:

  • It is not a waterproof outer shell — it’s a mid-layer. So in heavy rain you’ll still need an outer waterproof jacket.

  • Hi-Vis orange variant may be required for certain environments (rail, highways) rather than yellow—so ensure you pick the correct variant for your regulation.

  • Because it’s designed as a mid-layer, features like taped seams, high hydrostatic head, etc (which you’d see in outer shells) are not included here—it focuses on visibility and comfort rather than full weatherproofing.


Summary

If you’re looking for a functional, high-visibility mid-layer that balances safety certification, comfort and sustainability, the PULSAR REACT RCT805 & 804 is a strong choice. Particularly suited for active roles in outdoor or semi-outdoor environments (rail (Orange), highways, utilities) where you’re visible and mobile, but not necessarily exposed to heavy rain all the time. If you anticipate needing full waterproof protection, you’d pair it with a waterproof shell (such as RCT800/RCT801) on top.
