Portwest C470 reflective hi-vis safety vest – red, 2XL/3XL
Looking for a dependable hi‑vis waistcoat that simply gets the job done? The Portwest C470 is a straightforward, no-nonsense choice for everyday use. It’s a firm favourite for good reason — simple design, tough materials and clear band-and-brace reflective tape to make sure you’re seen when it matters.
Key features
Made from 100% polyester warp-knit mesh, this waistcoat is lightweight and breathable — ideal for long shifts or warmer days. The classic band-and-brace reflective layout gives all-round visibility, while a practical zip front and two handy pockets keep small tools, pens or your phone close to hand and out of the way.
- Material: 100% polyester warp-knit mesh for breathability and durability.
- Visibility: band-and-brace reflective tape for strong reflection in low light and 360° visibility.
- Fit and storage: secure zip front with two practical pockets for essentials.
- Comfort: lightweight construction designed for all-day wear on site.
- Care: easy to clean and quick to dry — no faffing about between shifts.
Where it works best
This waistcoat is a go-to for construction crews, traffic and road workers, security staff and warehouse operatives. It’s equally useful off-site for cycling, jogging, dog walking or dealing with a roadside breakdown. If visibility and comfort are your priorities, this is the sensible bit of kit that keeps you seen and puts your mind at ease.
Standards and notes
The Portwest C470 meets EN ISO 20471 high-visibility requirements. One heads-up for rail workers: RIS-3279-TOM compliance applies only to the orange variant, so check the spec if that’s a requirement for your role. For most construction, traffic and general safety uses, the red C470 gives reliable conformity and peace of mind.
In short: a hard-wearing, breathable and easy-to-wear hi‑vis waistcoat that does exactly what it says on the tin — keeps you seen and comfortable. No bells and whistles, just dependable protection whether you’re on site or out and about.
