When working in environments where heavy machinery or high-speed traffic is present, visibility is your primary line of defense. The Yellow Hi-Vis Waistcoat with Long Sleeves is engineered specifically for those who need more protection than a standard vest can provide. By incorporating full-length sleeves, this garment achieves an EN471 Class 3 certification, which is the highest classification for high-visibility clothing. This makes it suitable for use on motorways, high-speed rail projects, and large-scale industrial sites where workers must be seen from all angles and distances.
The waistcoat is manufactured from a 100% polyester warp-knit fabric. This material is chosen for its durability and its ability to maintain its fluorescent properties even after multiple washes. Unlike heavy jackets, this waistcoat offers a breathable fit, making it ideal for year-round use. During the summer, it can be worn over a t-shirt to maintain safety standards without overheating, while in winter, its generous cut allows it to be worn comfortably over parkas or fleece layers.
Functionality is at the heart of the design. The front features a simple yet secure hook-and-loop fastening system, ensuring that the vest stays in place while you work but can be removed instantly if caught on equipment. The reflective tape is strategically positioned in a "two-band and brace" configuration, with additional bands on the arms. This ensures that even if you are reaching or bending, your presence is clearly signaled to vehicle operators and colleagues. This long-sleeve waistcoat is a reliable, cost-effective, and professional solution for any safety-conscious workforce.
Yes, because it is EN471 Class 3 certified, it meets the requirements for workers on or near high-speed roads and motorways.
Yes, it can be machine washed. To preserve the reflective properties, it is recommended to wash at a maximum of 40°C and avoid using heavy industrial detergents or bleach.
Class 3 requires a higher minimum area of both fluorescent background material and reflective tape. The inclusion of long sleeves on this waistcoat provides the extra surface area needed to reach this higher safety rating.
