Hi-Vis Clothing Guide
High-visibility clothing is essential for safety on roads, construction sites, warehouses and many other working environments. This guide explains the main types of hi-vis workwear, key standards and the best ways to add your logo.
Types of Hi-Vis Workwear
- Hi-vis vests – cost-effective and easy to throw over existing clothing.
- Hi-vis jackets – padded or unpadded for warmth and weather protection.
- Hi-vis softshells – comfortable and modern for everyday wear.
- Hi-vis trousers – for full-body visibility on site or roadwork.
- Rail / motorway spec garments – for environments requiring higher standards.
Hi-Vis Standards & Safety
Many hi-vis garments are certified to European standards such as EN ISO 20471. The class usually depends on the amount of fluorescent fabric and reflective tape.
- Class 1: Lowest level, often for accessories or low-risk areas.
- Class 2: Standard for many vests and mid-level garments.
- Class 3: Highest level of visibility, typically jackets and trousers combined.

Branding Hi-Vis with Your Logo
Most hi-vis garments are branded using print, but some also work well with embroidery on non-taped areas.
- Left chest print – simple and effective for logos.
- Large back print – ideal for company names and contact details.
- Combination of print and embroidery – for jackets and softshells.
