Engineered for Performance

The Warrior Hi-Vis Reversible Bodywarmer offers exceptional versatility for dynamic workforces. Engineered with a PU coated polyester shell, this gilet serves a dual purpose: one side provides high-visibility safety compliant with EN ISO 20471 Class 2, while the reverse offers a smart, navy finish suitable for client-facing or non-hazardous environments. This 2-in-1 functionality makes it an invaluable asset for staff who transition between site inspections and office duties. The Hi-Vis side features comprehensive reflective taping over the shoulders and around the body, ensuring visibility from all angles. For rail environments, the orange variant meets RIS-3279-TOM standards. Despite being a sleeveless garment, it offers significant weather protection, boasting an EN343 Class 3.1 rating for water resistance on the fabric. Layering this bodywarmer over Hi-Vis Polo Shirts allows for core warmth without restricting arm movement, a critical factor for drivers and machinery operators.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

This bodywarmer is designed to be the ultimate layering piece. The lack of sleeves eliminates bulk around the shoulders, granting the wearer unrestricted range of motion—perfect for steering, lifting, or operating controls. A black ribbed knit collar provides a comfortable, snug fit around the neck that doesn't chafe, while the full-length zip allows for easy temperature regulation. Storage is well-considered on both sides of the garment: the Hi-Vis side features two front pockets with flaps to keep contents dry, while the navy reverse includes two open front pockets for ease of access. The polyester lining ensures the gilet slides easily over other layers, such as fleeces or sweatshirts, preventing the 'straitjacket' feeling often associated with winter workwear. It is a practical, adaptable solution for variable weather and changing job roles.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Delivery drivers and couriers needing arm freedom and visibility.
• Site managers moving between office environments and active construction zones.
• Warehouse staff requiring core warmth without overheating.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The reversible nature of this bodywarmer offers unique branding opportunities. While the Hi-Vis side prioritises safety, the navy side offers a clean backdrop for corporate identity. You can integrate with Hi-Vis Trousers to maintain a compliant uniform standard across your team.
