Engineered for Performance

The Yoko Two Tone Waistcoat is a strategic solution for site safety management, allowing for instant visual differentiation of personnel roles through colour-coding. By combining high-visibility fluorescent fabric with contrasting colour blocks, this vest enables supervisors to identify specific teams, first aiders, or authorised visitors at a glance. The garment is manufactured from 100% recycled polyester, ensuring durability and colour fastness while supporting environmental targets. Critically, the Yellow and Orange variants maintain EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification, making them suitable for high-risk zones, while other colour combinations achieve Class 1, appropriate for lower-risk areas or enhanced identification purposes. The addition of reflective bands over the shoulders ensures that the wearer is visible from overhead plant machinery, adding a vertical dimension to the safety profile. For complex sites with multiple subcontractors, these distinctive Hi-Vis Vests are an indispensable tool for maintaining order and safety protocols.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Designed for universal fit and ease of use, the Two Tone Waistcoat features a generous cut that accommodates various body shapes and layers of clothing. The tear-release front closure is a standard safety mechanism that allows for quick removal and prevents the wearer from being pulled into machinery if the vest is snagged. The bound edges—contrast coloured on the two-tone models—add a layer of structural integrity to the garment, preventing fraying and extending the service life of the vest even with daily wear. Lightweight and breathable, the vest does not impede movement, making it suitable for drivers, banksmen, and security staff who require agility. The clear visual distinction provided by the two-tone design also fosters a sense of team identity and authority, which can be beneficial in crowd control or security applications.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Site supervision and role identification.
• Event security and crowd management.
• Traffic control and logistics coordination.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The solid colour panels on these vests provide an excellent backdrop for contrasting logos and text. Custom printing or embroidery ensures that staff roles are communicated clearly. To ensure warmth during colder shifts, coordinate with Fleeces worn underneath.
