High visibility vests | EN ISO 20471

Quick to put on over any clothing

A vest is the quickest high-visibility garment to put on, designed to be worn loosely over your own jacket or shirt. For regular outdoor work, a high-visibility jacket is more comfortable.

Ideal for visitors and short-term work

Widely used for visitors on construction sites and by road workers during short-term work along the roadway, where being quickly visible matters more than long-term comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Is a vest sufficient for a full working day outdoors?

For short-term work or visits, a vest is ideal; for a full day outdoors, a high-visibility jacket is more comfortable.

Can I wear the vest over my own clothing?

Yes, the vest is specifically designed to be worn quickly and loosely over your own jacket, shirt, or workwear.

When should I replace a high-visibility vest?

Replace a vest as soon as the fluorescent colour has visibly faded, the reflective bands are damaged or dirty, or the maximum number of washes on the label has been reached. The vest then no longer meets the requirements of the standard. A vest that has been lying in a van for years also loses colour through sunlight, even if it has hardly been worn.

What is the advantage of a mesh vest?

A mesh vest is made of an open, airy fabric that lets body heat and moisture escape more easily. This makes it more comfortable to wear in warm weather or physically demanding work. A mesh vest is also covered by EN ISO 20471, so check the label for which class it has. In cold or rain, a closed vest over a jacket is a more logical choice.
