Sweatshirts and Fleeces

Hi-vis sweatshirts: the warm layer that stays visible

The hi-vis sweatshirt is the go-to garment on chilly mornings and in outdoor warehouses: it keeps you warm without the bulk of a jacket and, worn as the outer layer, maintains certified visibility.

Hood, zip or crew neck

• Hooded with full zip: opens and closes in a moment, ideal for anyone getting in and out of vehicles.
• 1/4 zip or high collar: protects the neck from wind and goes over polo shirts and t-shirts.
• Crew neck and knitted: clean lines, also suited to supervisory roles.
• Fleece: light and warm, useful as a mid layer.

Classes and cool environments

Most sweatshirts are Class 3 to EN ISO 20471, thanks to the long sleeves that increase the visible area; others are Class 2 or 1. Some winter models are also certified to EN 14058, the standard for garments for cool environments, meaning low but not severe temperatures. Two-tone versions have dark panels in the areas that get dirtiest, and there are women's models with a dedicated fit.

Combinations and care

On colder days the sweatshirt goes under a hi-vis softshell jacket or a waterproof shell: in that case it is the outer garment that provides visibility. To complete the uniform, add hi-vis work trousers. Wash inside out, respecting the temperature and maximum number of washes shown on the label.
