How to choose

Choosing the right hi-vis jacket depends on three factors: EN ISO 20471 class, waterproofing, and insulation.

**EN class:** Class 3 (most visible) is required for roadworkers. Class 2 suits most construction sites. Check your site's PPE policy before ordering.

**Waterproofing:** Look for 5,000mm+ hydrostatic head for reliable wet weather protection. Taped seams prevent leakage at stitching points.

**Insulation:** Padded jackets suit winter; softshell or shell-only suits spring/autumn. Layering a hi-vis sweatshirt under a shell jacket gives year-round flexibility.
Trade Tip

Trade tip: For site supervisors and banksmen who move between vehicles and pedestrian areas frequently, a Class 3 jacket with a full-length front zip and storm flap gives you the highest visibility rating without sacrificing ease of movement or breath-ability on warmer days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What EN ISO 20471 class do I need for road work?

Class 3 is required for workers exposed to fast-moving traffic (motorways, A-roads). Class 2 is the minimum for most other roadside environments. Always check the specific requirements of your site or contractor.

Are hi-vis jackets machine washable?

Most are, but always check the care label. Retroreflective tape degrades after repeated washing — most manufacturers rate tape for 25–50 wash cycles before visibility is compromised.

Can I get hi-vis jackets with a company logo?

Yes — contact us for bulk embroidery or print quotes. Minimum order quantities apply.
