Which hi-vis class do you need?
Hi-vis clothing in the UK is tested to EN ISO 20471, which sets three classes based on how much fluorescent and reflective material a garment has:
- Class 1: the lowest visibility. Trousers and some polos, usually worn with a class 2 or 3 top.
- Class 2: most vests and short jackets. The standard for many sites, car parks, warehouses and events.
- Class 3: the highest. Long-sleeve jackets, coats and full suits for roadside, highways and rail work, or a class 2 top worn with class 1 trousers.
Your site rules or client contract usually set the class. Tell us the job and we'll point you to the right garments. For more on classes, colours and care, read our hi-vis buyer's guide.
Personalised hi-vis vests with your logo
A printed hi-vis vest is the quickest way to brand a whole team. Your logo goes on the back, the chest or both, so staff are easy to spot and your company name is seen on every site, car park and event. Choose standard vests or executive vests with ID pockets, in yellow or orange.
Personalised hi-vis jackets, trousers and polos are printed or embroidered the same way, so the whole kit matches. Browse hi-vis vests or see our hi-vis jackets.

Printed or embroidered?
Printing suits hi-vis vests and the large back area of jackets. A big back print is readable from a distance and doesn't add weight or affect the reflective tape. Embroidery suits polos, fleeces and softshells, where a crisp chest logo looks smarter. We place logos so they never cover the reflective tape, which keeps the garment within its certification.
Kit for a whole workforce
From a single vest to hundreds of jackets across several depots, everyone gets the same look. Councils, contractors and logistics firms use our free Secure Buying Wardrobe so each site orders its own approved hi-vis online, within budget, with one invoice for head office.
