Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is a fundamental component of modern safetywear strategies, engineered to deliver uncompromising visibility without sacrificing thermal efficiency. Constructed from a robust 280gsm polyester fabric, this garment features an anti-pill fleece backing that significantly enhances heat retention while maintaining a professional appearance over prolonged periods of use. For industries operating in high-risk environments, such as rail infrastructure and heavy construction, compliance is non-negotiable; this sweatshirt meets the rigorous EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards, ensuring maximum daytime and night-time visibility. Furthermore, the Orange and Orange/Navy colourways strictly adhere to RIS-3279-TOM specifications, making them fully compliant for UK railway operations. The strategic placement of reflective bands across the torso, sleeves, and shoulders ensures that the wearer remains visible from all angles, a critical factor in preventing workplace accidents. When weather conditions deteriorate, this thermal layer serves as an excellent mid-layer; for complete protection against the elements, we recommend you layer under Hi-Vis Jackets to maintain warmth and dryness in torrential downpours.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Beyond its safety credentials, this sweatshirt is designed with the operational workforce in mind, prioritising freedom of movement and all-day comfort. The drop shoulder style allows for a relaxed fit that does not restrict arm movement, which is essential for manual handling tasks, equipment operation, and active shift work. The ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem provide a secure fit that stays in place during vigorous activity, preventing cold draughts from entering the garment and maintaining core body temperature. The taped neck seam eliminates friction against the skin, reducing irritation during long shifts. Unlike rigid outerwear, the soft jersey knit offers flexibility, allowing staff to bend, stretch, and reach without resistance. Whether deployed in logistics warehouses or roadside maintenance, this garment bridges the gap between heavy-duty PPE and comfortable workwear, ensuring that compliance does not come at the cost of employee well-being.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Railway Maintenance and Trackside Operations (RIS-3279-TOM).
• Construction Sites requiring Class 3 Visibility.
• Warehousing and Logistics Cold Chain Operations.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

This garment is optimised for corporate identity application, featuring a fabric weave that accepts high-quality embroidery and screen printing. Customisation allows businesses to reinforce brand presence on-site while maintaining safety standards.
