Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Kids Hi-Vis Two Band Waistcoat is a critical addition to any school or organisational safety protocol, specifically engineered to enhance the visibility of children in potentially hazardous environments. Constructed from robust, 100% recycled polyester, this garment represents a responsible choice for eco-conscious institutions, aligning safety requirements with sustainability goals. The fabric is durable enough to withstand the rigours of daily school life, from playground activities to field trips, while maintaining its vibrant colouration after multiple washes. The core technical feature is its adherence to EN 1150: 1999 standards for the yellow and orange variants, ensuring that the garment provides certified luminance and reflectivity necessary for low-light conditions or roadside walking buses. The inclusion of reflective bound edges further amplifies visibility profiles, ensuring that the wearer is distinct against complex backgrounds. For procurement managers looking to equip entire year groups, these Hi-Vis Vests offer a reliable, standardised solution for identifying pupils quickly and effectively during external excursions or emergency drills.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed with the end-user in mind, this waistcoat prioritises ease of use and comfort for younger wearers. The generous sizing allows the vest to be worn comfortably over bulky winter coats, school blazers, or summer uniforms without restricting movement, making it a versatile layer for all seasons. The tear-release front closure (hook and loop) is a vital safety feature, allowing for rapid removal in emergency situations and ensuring that the vest pulls away safely if snagged on playground equipment or fences. This mechanism also promotes independence, allowing younger children to dress themselves without struggling with zips or buttons. The lightweight nature of the polyester fabric ensures that the vest does not add unnecessary weight or heat, preventing complaints of discomfort during long walks or outdoor activities. Whether used for cycling proficiency, walking to school schemes, or event marshals, the ergonomic design ensures that safety gear does not hinder participation or enjoyment.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• School excursions and educational field trips.
• Walking bus schemes and road safety campaigns.
• Sports events and outdoor team identification.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

These waistcoats are optimised for customisation, featuring a fabric surface that accepts screen printing and embroidery with ease. Adding a school crest or event logo transforms a standard safety item into a cohesive part of your uniform policy. To complete the outdoor safety kit, integrate with Kids Jackets for full weather protection.
