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.
Bnefits
Reversible design offering both hi-visibility protection and smart navy styling in one garment.
Hi-vis side with reflective tape provides enhanced visibility to help improve safety in low-light and on-site environments.
Navy side features two patch pockets, adding practical storage for small tools, radios or personal items.
Quilted lining helps provide thermal comfort and insulation in cooler conditions.
Inner: quilted lining (polyester wadding and lining fabric, typical for quilted workwear; exact fibre not specified).
Reflective tape on the hi-vis side to meet Class 2 visibility requirements.
Trims and fastenings: full-length front zip (as per typical NS76 specification, though not explicitly stated on Medisave), binding and stitching appropriate for reversible construction.

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.
Duration
Not applicable \u2013 this is a reusable workwear garment intended for ongoing use over its service life, subject to wear, laundering and organisational PPE replacement policies.
Onset
Immediate upon wearing with the hi-vis side outward \u2013 visibility and insulation benefits are provided as soon as the garment is correctly donned.
