Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Executive Waistcoat is the definitive choice for site managers, supervisors, and professionals who demand functionality alongside high visibility. Unlike standard vests, this garment features a full-length front zip closure, providing a secure and professional fit that stays in place during vigorous activity or high winds. The technical configuration of pockets is extensive: a radio/media pocket with antenna loop, a clear ID pocket for security passes, dedicated pen slots, and large front bellow pockets with velcro flaps. This turns the vest into a wearable workstation, allowing essential communication devices and writing instruments to be kept instantly accessible. Safety is uncompromised, with the core Yellow and Orange variants achieving EN ISO 20471 Class 2 status, while a vast array of other colourways offer Class 1 or enhanced visibility for specific corporate branding needs. Constructed from 100% recycled polyester, these Hi-Vis Vests offer a robust, sustainable solution for leadership roles in construction, logistics, and event management.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Comfort and professional appearance are key drivers in the design of the Executive Waistcoat. The zip fastening creates a smarter silhouette than velcro alternatives, preventing the 'gaping' often seen with cheaper vests and ensuring the wearer looks authoritative. The sizing allows for layering over suits, fleeces, or jackets, making it versatile for year-round use. The fabric is lightweight yet durable, capable of holding the weight of items in the pockets without sagging excessively. The inclusion of a D-ring adds further utility for keys or access fobs. By providing a designated place for every tool and pass, this vest reduces the fumbling and distraction associated with carrying loose items, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and focus. It is the ideal upgrade for staff who need to stand out not just for safety, but for their role in managing operations.

• Logistics managers and warehouse team leaders.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility
