High visibility clothing is indispensable in many professions to ensure safety and visibility. Especially in poorly lit or dangerous environments, it ensures that workers are noticed early on. But not all high-visibility clothing is the same - clothing must be tailored to the specific requirements of the work environment.

 

1. High-visibility vests: the classic for quick visibility

High-visibility vests are part of the basic equipment in many professions. They are light, quick to put on and, thanks to their striking neon colors and reflective stripes, offer accessible visibility, especially at dusk or in bad weather conditions. Areas of use include construction sites, logistics or events. It is important that the high-visibility vest complies with the EN ISO 20471 standard, which specifies a certain visibility area.

2. Rainwear: visibility in bad weather

In rain or adverse weather conditions, visibility is often severely restricted. High visibility rainwear combines water-repellent or waterproof properties with reflective elements to keep you visible and dry even in wet weather. Jackets and trousers made of breathable material ensure that you stay dry without overheating. For long-lasting protection, models with welded seams or coated fabrics are particularly recommended.

3. Clothing for working in road traffic: maximum protection in times of risk

There are particular risks in road traffic, as workers often work directly near moving vehicles or machines. High visibility clothing in this area must not only be visible, but also robust. Models that offer additional features such as abrasion-resistant inserts or thermal protection are recommended here. Reflective 360° elements that make the entire body visible are a must. They can be life-saving, especially during night-time operations or on busy roads.
