Product Overview
The Athens Hi-Vis Mesh Executive Vest is an essential garment for professionals operating in environments where heat management and visibility are equally critical. Constructed with advanced MeshAir technology, this vest facilitates superior airflow, ensuring the wearer remains cool and comfortable during high-activity tasks or in warmer climates. Unlike standard waistcoats, this executive-style vest combines the breathability of an open-weave mesh with the practical features expected of premium workwear, including multiple storage solutions and a secure zipped closure.
Key Features
- MeshAir Technology: The 100% polyester mesh fabric is engineered to allow maximum ventilation, which is vital for maintaining a manageable body temperature on-site.
- EN ISO 20471 Compliance: This vest meets high-visibility safety standards, providing the necessary protection for hazardous working environments.
- Executive Pocket System: Includes multiple pockets for efficient storage of tools and personal items, keeping essentials close at hand.
- Integrated ID Holder: A clear dedicated pocket allows for easy display of identification, which is a standard requirement for many secure work sites.
- Radio Loop: A specifically designed loop allows for the secure attachment of a radio, ensuring clear communication is always accessible.
- Zipped Front Fastening: The robust zip closure provides a more secure and professional fit compared to standard hook-and-loop fasteners.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Athens Vest lies in its lightweight 100% Polyester Mesh construction. This fabric has been chosen for its ability to withstand the rigours of a daily work environment while remaining exceptionally breathable. The orange high-visibility colour is designed to stand out, and when combined with the reflective tape, it ensures compliance with safety protocols. The garment is designed with a regular fit that allows for ease of movement, which is essential for tradespeople such as electricians, plumbers, and mechanics who often work in restricted spaces.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Athens Mesh Executive Vest is an ideal candidate for professional customisation. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos and individual names, providing a superior finish and a durable, professional appearance that withstands regular laundering. For larger, more prominent branding or safety messaging, our high-quality printing process offers sharp, bold designs. All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility, where we have been perfecting our craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This vest is particularly suited for individuals in the construction, tree surgery, and security industries. It is also an excellent choice for mechanics and plumbers who require a lightweight, breathable layer that provides high visibility without the bulk of a standard jacket. Its ventilation properties make it the primary choice for outdoor work during the summer months.

Practical Advice
For the best performance in warm weather, we suggest layering this vest over a lightweight, moisture-wicking t-shirt. If you are likely to wear this over heavier clothing during cooler mornings, you may wish to consider the sizing carefully to ensure that the zip can be fastened securely without restricting your range of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of the MeshAir fabric, it is essential to follow the recommended care instructions. A domestic wash at 40°C using a mild process is recommended to keep the vest clean and the reflective tape functional.
You must not use bleach on this garment, as it will cause the high-visibility pigments to fade and may weaken the polyester fibres. Tumble drying is not recommended; instead, the vest should be line dried to prevent heat damage to the synthetic mesh and reflective elements.
Do not iron or dry clean this product. The high heat from an iron can melt the mesh fabric and permanently damage the reflective strips. Please be aware that this garment is rated for a maximum of 25 washes. After this point, the high-visibility properties may no longer meet the required safety certifications, and the vest should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
