Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Hi-Vis Soft Shell Gilet represents the pinnacle of modern safetywear engineering, combining high-visibility compliance with advanced fabric technology. At the core of this garment is a sophisticated three-layer bonded fabric system designed to offer superior protection against the elements while maintaining breathability. The outer polyester layer provides a robust, abrasion-resistant shell that withstands the rigours of construction sites and logistics yards. Beneath this lies a waterproof TPU membrane with an impressive hydrostatic head rating of 8000mm, ensuring that torso vitals remain dry even during sudden downpours or persistent drizzle. This technical membrane is crucial for maintaining core body temperature, as it blocks wind chill effectively while allowing moisture vapour to escape, preventing the clamminess associated with inferior non-breathable PU coatings. For businesses prioritising workforce safety, the integration of high-performance Softshell technology into a high-visibility garment ensures that staff are not only seen according to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards but are also protected from the fatigue-inducing effects of cold and wet weather. The inclusion of waterproof zips on the chest and front pockets further secures essential tools and devices, making this gilet a functional asset for engineers and site managers alike.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Beyond its technical specifications, this gilet is crafted with the end-user's daily comfort in mind, making it an ideal choice for shifts that demand constant movement. The sleeveless design offers unrestricted arm mobility, which is essential for tasks involving lifting, driving, or operating machinery where bulky sleeves might pose a hazard or restriction. The inner layer features a soft micro fleece that traps warm air close to the body, providing essential insulation without the bulk of a heavy jacket. This makes the gilet an incredibly versatile layering piece; it can be worn over a polo shirt in mild conditions or under a heavy waterproof coat in extreme winter weather. The cut is designed to accommodate a range of body types, ensuring a professional appearance across your entire workforce. Furthermore, the strategic placement of reflective bands—two around the body and one over each shoulder—ensures 360-degree visibility without compromising the garment's flexibility. For procurement managers, investing in a gilet that balances thermal comfort with operational agility translates to higher staff satisfaction and compliance with safety uniform policies.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Construction Site Supervision and Surveying.
• Warehouse Logistics and Forklift Operation.
