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.

Composition

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.

Onset
