Product details
12 colours hi-vis reflective vest – executive waistcoat (XS–8XL, Yellow, XXL)
Stand-out visibility when it matters
This hi‑vis waistcoat does exactly what it should: keep you seen. The bright fluorescent fabric and two‑inch reflective strips around the waist, chest, shoulders and back give almost instant 360° recognition when headlights or torchlight catch them. That makes a real difference at first light and last light, or when you’re working close to traffic.
Practical, simple design
Made from lightweight 100% polyester, it won’t have you overheated on long shifts, and the black edging helps hide grubby hands and roadside muck. The wide 2.5cm hook‑and‑loop front makes it easy to pull on and take off even with gloves, and there’s plenty of room to fit over jackets and work layers. It’s machine‑washable too, so keeping it looking sharp is no faff.
Standards and safety
If you’re ticking boxes: the yellow and orange options are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, suitable for roadside work and low‑light duties. Other colours meet EN 17353 B3 for daytime urban visibility. If you’re unsure which standard your site requires, have a quick word with the safety officer or check the site rules.
Useful features you might not expect
- Emergency contact tag at the collar – a bright, write‑on panel for medical or supervisor details so first responders know who to contact.
- Executive waistcoat styling – smart enough for events or crowd management while still tough for site use.
- Two‑tone options (yellow/navy, orange/navy) – give contrast and help hide dirt on the lower panels.
- Compatible with other PPE – sits comfortably over jackets and works with belts, radios and similar kit.
Who this helps
Perfect for construction crews, traffic marshals, cyclists and runners, event stewards, warehouse staff — basically anyone who spends time near moving vehicles or in busy areas. If being seen reliably is a priority, this vest covers the essentials without any unnecessary fuss.
Practical notes
Sizes run from XS–8XL across the range; this specific listing shows XXL. If you’re between sizes, allow a little extra room for layers underneath. The vest is robust, but do keep the reflective tape clean for the best performance. VAT invoices can be issued on request and logos can be customised — get in touch before ordering if you need branding.
And yes, colours like pink or purple are genuinely useful for team ID on complex sites — they stand out. One last tip: the reflective tape helps, but a working torch is still invaluable; if a flat battery worries you, pop a spare in your kit.
