Product Overview
The Bizflame Hi-Vis FR Long Sleeve Zip Vest is a highly specialised garment designed for professionals operating in environments where flame resistance and high visibility are non-negotiable safety requirements. This lightweight vest provides an essential layer of protection without adding unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal choice for those who need to remain agile while complying with strict safety protocols.
Engineered with a secure zip-front closure and full-length sleeves, this garment ensures maximum coverage and visibility. It is important to note that this vest is designed to be worn over index 2 or 3 garments to achieve its full flame-resistant protective potential, serving as a critical component of a comprehensive safety uniform.
Key Features
The front zip fastening ensures the vest remains securely closed during movement, providing a more reliable and professional fit than standard hook-and-loop alternatives.
Long sleeves provide an increased surface area for high-visibility material, ensuring the wearer is seen from multiple angles in low-light conditions.
The lightweight fabric construction allows for comfortable layering over existing workwear, preventing overheating during physically demanding tasks.
Flame-resistant properties offer essential protection in environments with heat and flame hazards, contributing to a safer working experience.
Design & Performance
The design of this vest focuses on the balance between safety and practicality. The Bizflame fabric is engineered to be resilient yet lightweight, ensuring that the wearer does not feel restricted when performing complex tasks. The yellow high-visibility finish is complemented by reflective tape, designed to withstand the rigours of industrial use while maintaining its reflective properties.
In terms of performance, the long-sleeve configuration is particularly effective for those working in sectors where full-arm visibility is required. The garment's construction is robust, intended to maintain its structural integrity through repeated wear in demanding environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Personalising your safety wear is a standard requirement for most modern businesses, and this vest is well-suited for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a durable and professional appearance that withstands regular laundering and heavy use.
For larger branding or high-impact identification on the back of the vest, print is an excellent alternative, offering sharp detail and bold colours. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear has been refining these customisation techniques in Telford since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical precision without compromising the garment's protective features.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for industrial workers, electricians, and site supervisors who require flame-resistant protection combined with high visibility. It is particularly useful in rail, utility, and petrochemical environments where hazardous conditions are a daily reality and adherence to safety standards is mandatory.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the garments you will be wearing underneath. As this vest must be worn over index 2 or 3 flame-resistant clothing to offer full protection, we recommend checking your current layering system to ensure a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, the zip-front design typically allows for a more tailored fit than traditional open-front vests.
Caring for your product
To maintain the flame-resistant integrity and high-visibility performance of this garment, regular and careful maintenance is essential. Neglecting proper care can lead to a degradation of the protective properties, potentially compromising safety in hazardous situations.
Always follow the specific washing instructions provided on the internal label to ensure the longevity of the garment. Avoid using biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can leave flammable residues or coat the fibres, reducing the effectiveness of the flame-resistant treatment. Furthermore, do not use bleach, as this will damage the fabric and significantly fade the high-visibility pigment, making the vest less effective in low-light environments.
