Product Overview

The C375 Hi-Vis Band and Brace Vest represents a significant upgrade from standard entry-level safety waistcoats. Engineered for professionals who require a more secure fit, this vest replaces traditional hook-and-loop fastenings with a robust front zip. This ensures the garment remains firmly in place, even when moving through tight spaces or working in windy conditions. The orange hue combined with a classic band and brace reflective tape configuration provides maximum visibility, ensuring the wearer is easily identified in both daylight and low-light environments.

Key Features

• Zipped Front Closure: Unlike standard vests that may pull open, the high-quality zip ensures a secure and comfortable fit throughout the working day.
• Band and Brace Reflective Tape: The strategic placement of reflective bands around the torso and over the shoulders ensures the wearer is visible from multiple angles.
• Lightweight Warp Knit Fabric: The 100% polyester construction provides a breathable and comfortable layer that does not add unnecessary bulk to your workwear ensemble.
• Superior Visibility: Specifically designed to meet safety requirements in high-risk environments, providing essential visibility for day and night operations.

Design & Performance

This vest is constructed from 100% polyester warp knit fabric. In technical terms, warp knitting produces a stable and durable material that is resistant to laddering, which is essential in demanding work environments. The fabric is specifically chosen for its lightweight properties, allowing it to be worn over jackets or sweatshirts without restricting movement. The 'band and brace' reflective tape formation is a industry-recognised standard, providing a clear silhouette of the human form to vehicle operators and colleagues alike.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

The C375 is an excellent canvas for professional branding. For a sophisticated and permanent finish, we recommend embroidery. This is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the chest area, providing a professional appearance that withstands the rigours of industrial laundering. For larger, more vibrant designs—such as large-scale company branding on the back—printing is an ideal choice as it maintains the garment's lightweight feel while ensuring your brand is seen from a distance.

Practical Advice

When selecting your size, consider what you will be wearing beneath the vest. If you intend to wear this over a heavy winter parka or a thick sweatshirt, you may find that sizing up provides a more comfortable fit and ensures the zip can be closed easily without tension. For summer use over a polo shirt, your standard size should suffice.

Caring for your product

To maintain the high-visibility performance and the integrity of the reflective tapes, it is essential to follow the recommended care instructions. We advise a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and degrade the adhesive used on the reflective bands.

Bleaching must be avoided at all costs, as it will strip the fluorescent pigment from the fabric and render the safety features ineffective. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; the high heat of a dryer can cause the reflective tape to crack or peel. We recommend drip line drying to allow the garment to regain its shape naturally.

Do not iron this vest, as the synthetic polyester and reflective materials can melt under direct heat. Additionally, dry cleaning should be avoided as the chemicals used can interfere with the garment's reflective properties. Please note that this vest is rated for a maximum of 50 washes, after which the visibility performance may begin to diminish below safety standards.
