WHAT MAKES GOOD HI-VIS WORKWEAR?

• Certification: Hi-vis garments should meet the EN ISO 20471 standard for high visibility.
• Colours and reflectors: Fluorescent colours such as yellow, orange and red, combined with reflective material, provide optimal visibility.
• Fit and comfort: Choose garments that are comfortable to wear throughout long working days.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT HI-VIS GARMENTS?

• Working environment: For night work, hi-vis garments with extra reflective details are especially important.
• Weather: In cold or rainy environments, choose lined and waterproof hi-vis garments.
• Flexibility: For jobs where freedom of movement is important, hi-vis garments with stretch are a smart choice.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT HI-VIS GARMENTS

How long do the reflectors on hi-vis garments last?

Reflective material can wear over time. Replace garments that no longer reflect sufficiently.

Can I machine wash my hi-vis garments?

Yes, but always follow the washing instructions to help maintain the reflective material’s function and the garment’s certified visibility.

Blåkläder’s high vis garments are marked with a co-certification label. This is to show which co-certification group the individual garment has, as well as what can be achieved for classes 1-3 in combination with other types of garments. 

The requirements apply to the performance of the main material’s high vis functions, but also the design requirements. The three classes of high vis clothing are divided according to the limits of minimum surfaces for high vis and reflex materials.
