Hi-vis hoodies and sweatshirts can provide a useful workwear layer when their specification suits the task. Compare fit, visibility class and compatibility with the rest of your kit.
Check suitability for the workplace
A hood can affect peripheral vision, hearing and how other PPE fits. Confirm that the style is permitted for the task and site. A hi-vis sweatshirt does not automatically provide flame resistance, waterproofing or other specialist protection.
Plan your layers
Allow enough room for movement and check that outer layers do not hide the visibility material you need. Review the certification of the individual model and size. For wet weather, choose a suitable outer garment instead of assuming a sweatshirt will keep water out.
Personalise and care for your garment
Ask about suitable printing or embroidery positions before placing an order. Keep logos clear of reflective material and follow the approved decoration guidance. Wash and dry according to the label to look after the garment and its branding.
