Unisex reversible hi-visibility bodywarmer
Description
The Alexandra Hi-vis Bodywarmer (code NS76) is a unisex reversible bodywarmer that combines high-visibility safety with the practicality of a navy workwear gilet. One side features a hi-vis yellow outer with reflective tape for Class 2 visibility, while the reverse side is a quality navy style with two patch pockets and a quilted lining for warmth. Made from PU-coated polyester, it offers a durable, water-resistant outer shell and can be washed at temperatures up to 40 °C. Ideal for workers who need enhanced visibility on site but also want the option of a smart navy bodywarmer off-site, it is suitable for a wide range of sectors including healthcare logistics, facilities and general workwear.

Usage
- Select the appropriate size based on the supplier’s size guide to ensure comfort and correct coverage.
- Wear hi-vis yellow side out whenever enhanced visibility is required on-site or in low-light conditions.
- For situations where high-visibility is not required, the bodywarmer may be reversed to wear the navy side outward.
- Fasten the bodywarmer fully at the front (zip and any additional fastenings) to maximise warmth and maintain garment position.
- Use the patch pockets on the navy side for carrying small tools or work essentials, ensuring weight is balanced.
- Follow the care label for laundering: machine wash up to 40 °C; avoid bleach and follow recommended drying and ironing instructions to preserve reflective properties and PU coating.
- Inspect the garment regularly for signs of wear, damage or fading of the hi-vis fabric and reflective tape; replace according to workplace PPE policies if high-visibility performance is compromised.
Contraindications
- Not suitable as flame-retardant or arc-flash protective clothing; additional specialised PPE is required for those hazards.
- Should not be relied upon where higher visibility classifications or specific industry standards (e.g., railway RIS standards) are mandated unless confirmed compliant.
- Do not use if the garment is significantly damaged, heavily soiled, or if reflective tape and hi-vis fabric have faded to the point that visibility is reduced.
- Individuals with sensitivities to synthetic fabrics, PU coatings or textile dyes should confirm compatibility before prolonged wear.
Adverse Effects
- Potential discomfort or overheating if worn in warm environments or during intense physical activity.
- Possible mild skin irritation in users sensitive to polyester fabrics, PU coatings or certain dyes/finishes.
- Reduced visibility if the hi-vis side is not worn outward when required, or if reflective elements are obscured by bags, harnesses or other garments.
- Loss of water resistance or reflective performance over time if care instructions are not followed.
Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to reduce fading of hi-vis fabric and degradation of reflective tape.
- Hang on a suitable hanger to maintain garment shape and prevent creasing of reflective strips.
- Ensure the garment is clean and fully dry before long-term storage to avoid mildew and odour.
- Keep away from sharp objects, oils, solvents or harsh chemicals that could damage the PU coating or reflective materials.
