Product Overview
The Bizflame Hi-Vis FR Long Sleeve Vest is a specialised garment designed to provide essential high visibility and flame-resistant performance in demanding work environments. Constructed from a lightweight, warp-knitted fabric, this long-sleeved vest ensures the wearer remains highly conspicuous while offering a vital layer of protection against heat and flame hazards. It is engineered specifically for use in situations where visibility and safety are paramount, though it must be worn over Index 2 or 3 garments to provide full flame-resistant protection.
Key Features
Flame-Resistant Protection: The fabric is designed to resist ignition, providing a critical safety barrier in hazardous environments.
Anti-Static Properties: Integrated carbon fibre helps to dissipate static electricity, reducing the risk of sparks in sensitive areas.
High-Visibility Yellow: The bright hue ensures maximum presence on-site, keeping you visible to colleagues and vehicle operators.
Long Sleeve Coverage: The full-length sleeves offer extended visibility and protection for the arms, which is often a requirement on modern industrial sites.
Warp Knitted Fabric: This construction method creates a durable yet lightweight material that stands up to daily wear without adding unnecessary bulk.
Design & Performance
The performance of this vest lies in its Bizflame fabric, a sophisticated blend of 98% polyester and 2% carbon fibre. The inclusion of carbon fibre is a deliberate engineering choice to manage static, while the warp-knitted structure provides a stable finish that maintains its shape even after repeated use. Because the fabric is lightweight, it does not impede movement, making it a practical choice for workers who require protection without the restriction of heavy outerwear. However, users should remain mindful that this is a supplementary layer and should always be paired with appropriate primary flame-resistant clothing.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical nature, this vest is well-suited for customisation. Embroidery provides a professional and permanent finish for company logos or staff names, giving your team a cohesive and authoritative appearance. For those requiring larger, more vibrant designs that need to stand out across a site, our high-quality print services are an excellent alternative. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your branding is applied without compromising the garment's integrity.
Use Cases
This vest is ideal for professionals working in utilities, petrochemical industries, or any environment where flash fire or static discharge is a potential risk. It is also suitable for construction and railway workers who need to meet stringent high-visibility requirements while maintaining a level of flame resistance. It is particularly useful during warmer months or in high-temperature environments where a full jacket would be impractical.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please remember that this vest is designed to be worn over other protective clothing. We recommend choosing a size that allows for comfortable movement over your standard flame-resistant trousers and tops. For maximum safety, ensure the vest is fastened at all times to maintain full high-visibility coverage.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility and flame-resistant properties of this garment, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided. Failure to do so may degrade the technical fibres and reduce the garment's effectiveness in a hazardous situation.
We recommend a mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Avoiding high temperatures will help preserve the integrity of the Bizflame fabric and ensure the reflective tape remains effective for a longer period.
Do not use bleach under any circumstances, as this will damage the flame-resistant treatment and fade the high-visibility yellow. The garment should not be tumble dried; instead, we advise drip line drying. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can cause shrinkage and damage the technical properties of the carbon fibres. Furthermore, do not iron or dry clean this vest, as the chemicals and direct heat can destroy the reflective elements and the protective finish.
