The groups below are based on the fabric, pocket and reflective details shown on the product pages. The product pages for the hi-vis vests in this category do not state an EN ISO 20471 high-visibility class; for work where classified clothing is required, choose a product with a stated class.
| Purpose | Design | Example models |
|---|---|---|
| Being seen (warehouse, site, car park) | Fluorescent colour + reflective tape | Double Reflective Tape Hi-Vis Vest - Fluorescent Yellow, Stretch Hi-Vis Vest with Buckle - Fluorescent Green |
| Visibility + tool carrying | Raschel knit, chest and flap lower pockets, zipped | Multi-Pocket Reflective Vest - Fluorescent Yellow/Navy, Reflective Raschel Vest - Fluorescent Yellow |
| Work vest with pockets for hot weather | Summer gabardine, multi-pocket | Multi-Pocket Gabardine Summer Work Vest - Grey/Red, Multi-Pocket Gabardine Summer Work Vest - Grey/Navy |
| Mid-layer for cold weather | Winter gabardine, micro fabric or quilted | Gabardine Winter Work Vest - Navy, Quilted Stand-Up Collar Zipped Work Vest |

When choosing a work vest, consider the season of use, fabric, lining, pocket layout and the need for layering together. Summer gabardine vests, fleece-lined models, softshell vests and products with reflective details may suit different working conditions.
Summer models may be lighter in construction, while fleece-lined vests or those with a different inner layer may be preferred in cooler weather. Check the season and fabric details in the product description.
On multi-pocket vests, the position of the pockets and how well they suit the equipment you use every day matter more than the number of pockets. Zipped or flap pockets may suit different working habits.
Reflective tape or fluorescent colour can support visibility; however, these features alone do not mean that a specific high-visibility standard is met. If a particular standard is required, check the product's technical data.
Compare your chest measurement with the product's size chart, where available. If you will wear a sweatshirt, fleece or another layer underneath, allow enough room for movement.

It is a visibility vest in fluorescent yellow, orange or green with reflective tape, worn over clothing. It makes workers easier to spot in places with vehicle or machinery movement, such as warehouses, car parks, sites and roadsides.
Fluorescent colour appears brighter in daylight. Reflective tape, on the other hand, reflects light from a source such as headlights back towards where it came from in the dark. The two are used together for day and night visibility.
Whether it is mandatory depends on the type of work and the environment. The protective equipment to be used in the workplace is determined by a risk assessment. If a specific high-visibility class (EN ISO 20471) is required, choose a product with a declared class; colour and reflective tape alone are not an indication of class.
Follow the care label on the product. High temperatures, bleach and ironing over the tape can reduce the brightness of the reflective material; if the tape is peeling or has become dull, replace the vest.
