High-Visibility Work Vests

Portwest C470 Hi-Vis Band and Brace Vest is a lightweight over-garment for workplaces that require high-visibility clothing. The familiar horizontal bands and shoulder braces provide a clear reflective pattern, while the hook-and-loop front fastening makes the vest easy to put on over everyday workwear. Its generous fit allows room for layers underneath. Choose orange or yellow and the combined size range listed on this page. Check the fit over the jacket or sweatshirt normally worn, and confirm that the garment’s visibility class meets your site requirements. The railway specification applies to the orange version only. Keep the front fastened as instructed, with reflective areas clean and uncovered, and replace worn or damaged vests when required.

Portwest C474 Hi-Vis Two Band Vest is a lightweight visibility layer with a simple two-band reflective layout. One band runs around the chest and the other around the waist, while a hook-and-loop front closure allows quick fitting over suitable workwear. The generous cut provides room for the clothing worn underneath. Orange and yellow options are listed in combined sizes from XXS/XS to 4XL/5XL. Choose the colour, size and visibility class specified for the job, and check the label on the supplied garment before use. The manufacturer’s railway specification applies to orange only. Wear the vest fastened, keep the reflective bands clean and visible, and inspect it regularly for damage or deterioration during service.

Portwest lists EN ISO 20471 Class 2; check the supplied garment markings against the visibility requirement for the job. Activate and re-wet the vest according to its instructions. Cooling duration depends on conditions and use, and the vest does not replace workplace measures for managing heat. Follow the care label and inspect the garment regularly.
