Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Hi-Vis Heavyweight Fleece Jacket is a pinnacle of safety engineering designed for high-risk industrial environments where visibility is non-negotiable. Constructed from a dense 100% polyester fabric, this garment offers a substantial 380gsm weight, providing exceptional thermal retention without compromising on the durability required for rugged fieldwork. The fabric is engineered to withstand the rigours of daily wear in sectors such as construction, logistics, and heavy manufacturing. Crucially, this fleece meets the stringent EN ISO 20471: 2013 + A1: 2016 Class 3 standards, the highest category for visibility, ensuring your team remains conspicuous in low-light and hazardous conditions. For personnel operating within the rail infrastructure, the Orange and Orange/Navy colourways are fully compliant with RIS-3279-TOM, meeting the specific spectral requirements for railway safety. The integration of two reflective bands around the torso, sleeves, and shoulders guarantees 360-degree visibility, reflecting light from vehicle headlights and machinery to prevent accidents. This is not merely a layer; it is a critical component of your site safety protocol, blending high-performance textile technology with essential compliance. When sourcing reliable Fleeces for your workforce, this heavyweight option stands out for its robust construction and adherence to safety legislation.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Beyond its safety credentials, the Yoko Hi-Vis Heavyweight Fleece Jacket is designed with the end-user's shift-long comfort in mind. A restrictive garment can lead to fatigue and reduced productivity, which is why this fleece features a 'comfort fit' cut that allows for a full range of motion, essential for manual handling and active duties. The tactile experience is enhanced by a contrast inner collar, which prevents chafing against the neck, a common complaint with coarser workwear fabrics. Practical utility is woven into the design through the inclusion of two front zip pockets, providing secure storage for essential tools, ID cards, or communication devices, ensuring hands remain free for tasks. The garment's thermal efficiency is further managed by elasticated cuffs and a drawcord hem; these features allow the wearer to seal in body heat during cold snaps or ventilate as required, adapting to changing weather conditions throughout the day. The full-length contrast zip is robust and easy to operate, even when wearing gloves. By prioritising ergonomic features alongside safety specs, this fleece ensures that your staff remain focused and comfortable, maintaining high morale and efficiency even during extended shifts in challenging climates.
