Workwear & safety
High-visibility workwear includes vests, polo shirts, T-shirts, jackets and coveralls in fluorescent fabric with retro-reflective tape, worn by construction, logistics, traffic, events and roadside teams. You can add company branding and choose colour and style. Where a certified standard is required, request the certificate for the specific garment. To order, request a quote with your site requirements and quantities.
Overview
Hi-vis clothing makes workers visible to drivers and plant operators in daylight, low light and at night. In daylight, fluorescent background fabric (usually yellow or orange) does the work; in darkness, retro-reflective tape reflects headlights back to the driver. Both matter, and a garment is only as effective as its condition: faded, dirty or damaged hi-vis performs worse.
Many sites and clients specify a standard such as EN ISO 20471, which defines garment classes (1, 2 and 3) by the minimum areas of fluorescent and reflective material. Class 3 provides the most coverage and is typically required near high-speed traffic; Class 1 offers the least. Other markets reference ANSI/ISEA 107. A vest is only compliant if that specific product has been tested and certified, so request the certificate for the exact garment and check it lists the class your site requires. We do not describe a product as compliant without that documentation.
Branding needs care. Logos placed over reflective tape or covering too much fluorescent area can reduce visibility and may affect certification. Keep branding to designated areas, usually the back panel or chest, and confirm with the garment documentation. In UAE heat, mesh vests and moisture-wicking hi-vis polos are far more comfortable than solid-fabric garments.
Specifications
Typical construction options for this garment. The exact specification is agreed and recorded in your quotation.
Fabrics
Common fabric options and where each works best. Compare fibres and weights in the fabric guide.
100% polyester
120–160 GSM
Best for: Vests and lightweight hi-vis outer layers
Holds fluorescent colour well; repeated washing and UV exposure gradually fade colour.
100% polyester mesh
100–130 GSM
Best for: Outdoor workers in UAE summer heat
Better airflow than solid fabric. Check that the specific mesh garment is certified to the class you need.
100% polyester birdseye or pique
140–180 GSM
Best for: Hi-vis polo shirts and T-shirts worn as a base layer
Replaces a shirt and vest combination in heat; certification depends on the specific garment.
Polyester-cotton blend with fluorescent face
200–280 GSM
Best for: Hi-vis coveralls and trousers
More comfortable against skin than pure polyester; fluorescent performance should be confirmed by certificate.
Customisation
Each method suits different fabrics, logos and quantities. We confirm the method, size and position with a mock-up before production.
Availability of each method for your garment and quantity is confirmed on your quotation.
Common for company names on vest backs. Keep print clear of reflective tape and within areas permitted by the garment certification.
Suitable for full-colour logos on polyester hi-vis; keep within designated branding areas.
Possible on chest areas of heavier hi-vis garments; not usually used on lightweight mesh vests.
Sizing & ordering
Size ranges, colours, minimum quantities, prices and timelines depend on the garment, fabric and branding you choose. They are confirmed in writing on your quotation rather than estimated here.
Sizing differs between garment ranges, so the measured size chart for the exact garment quoted is supplied with your quotation. Collect staff measurements at these points, then compare them with that chart.
Fabric care
Care that keeps colour, shape and branding looking right through repeated washing.
General guidance only. Always follow the care label on the supplied garment.
Buying advice
Ask your HSE team or main contractor which standard and class applies. Class 3 is usually required near fast traffic; lower classes may be acceptable elsewhere.
Certificates are issued for specific products and sizes. A certificate for one vest does not cover a different style or a modified garment.
Logos over tape or fluorescent areas reduce visibility. Ask where branding can be placed without affecting the garment's class.
UAE sun fades fluorescent fabric. Set a replacement schedule and check garments regularly, following the care label limits on wash cycles.
| Class | Coverage | Typical garments | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Lowest minimum areas of fluorescent and reflective material | Some vests with limited tape, harnesses | Low-risk areas away from traffic |
| Class 2 | Intermediate coverage | Standard vests, hi-vis polos and T-shirts | Yards, car parks, warehouses, general sites |
| Class 3 | Highest coverage, usually including sleeves or legs | Jackets, long-sleeve shirts, coveralls, some combinations | Near high-speed traffic and in poor visibility |
FAQ

Usually yes, within designated areas that do not cover reflective tape or reduce fluorescent area below the class minimum. Confirm placement against the garment documentation.
