Product details
12-colour hi-vis reflective vest – high visibility waistcoat (XS–8XL)
bright, simple and sensible
This hi‑vis reflective vest is the kind of straightforward bit of kit that just gets on with the job. It comes in twelve colours and a broad size range, so whether you’re out for an early-morning run, marshalling a car park or working on site, there’s a colour and fit to suit. The fluorescent fabric is easy to spot in daylight, and the reflective strips give 360° visibility when headlights hit them at night – that little extra peace of mind makes a big difference.
what it’s made from
Lightweight 100% polyester forms the body of the vest, keeping it breathable and simple to layer over workwear or a coat. Two‑inch (approx. 50mm) reflective bands wrap around the chest, waist, shoulders and back, and contrast black edging helps the hem look neater for longer. The front uses a wide hook‑and‑loop fastener (about 2.5cm) so it stays put and is easy to do up even with gloves on.
certification and options
If you need certified PPE, the yellow and orange versions meet EN ISO 20471 Class 2, making them suitable for many road and traffic-facing tasks. The other colours meet EN 17353 B3, which is fine for daytime visibility and urban work. If certification matters for your role, double-check the colour and standard before ordering.
useful features and real-life benefits
- 360° reflectivity reduces the chance of being missed by drivers in poor light – a proper bonus in winter months.
- Wide size range (XS–8XL) and an adjustable front closure mean no faffing about trying to squeeze into the wrong size.
- Emergency contact panel at the collar for quick ID or medical details – handy on busy sites or at events.
- Machine‑washable and durable; the reflective tape is designed to keep performing after repeated washes.
- Two‑tone options (yellow/navy and orange/navy) give a smarter, more professional look for supervisors or teams who want contrast.
who will find it handy
Plenty of people: construction crews, event stewards, couriers loading vans at dawn, school crossing patrols, dog walkers on country lanes, warehouse staff, airport ground crews, and anyone working near traffic. It’s also ideal for volunteers and festival teams who need to be visible but want a choice of colours for team ID.
care, custom options and practical notes
Care is straightforward — pop it in the wash on a gentle cycle and avoid bleach to keep the reflective tape working at its best. VAT invoices can be issued on request, and logo customisation is available; contact customer service before purchasing to arrange printing or bespoke requirements. It isn’t waterproof, so layer up underneath on wet days, but the polyester is quick‑drying and robust for everyday use.
If you’re unsure about which certification you need for a particular task, check with your employer or site manager about the required colour and standard. Overall, this vest is a reliable, no‑nonsense visibility solution: easy to use, easy to care for and available in plenty of colours and sizes to suit most needs.
