Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Contrast Hoodie is a versatile, professional-grade garment engineered for those who require both high visibility and thermal comfort. Constructed from a durable blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this hooded sweatshirt provides a practical solution for varying work environments where safety and a clean appearance are equally vital.
Designed with a focus on longevity, the fabric features a brushed back finish that offers essential insulation during colder shifts without sacrificing breathability. The two-tone aesthetic is not merely a stylistic choice; it is a functional design feature intended to minimise the visual impact of dirt and stains in high-contact areas, keeping you looking professional throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Durable Polyester and Cotton Blend: The 65% polyester and 35% cotton composition ensures the garment remains hard-wearing while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.
- Brushed Back Fabric: This internal finish provides extra warmth, making it an ideal layer for cooler temperatures or outdoor site work.
- Generous Pockets: Practical storage solutions allow for the safe keeping of essential tools or personal items while on the move.
- Adjustable Hood: The integrated hood can be adjusted to provide protection against the elements, ensuring comfort in changing weather conditions.
- Two-Tone Design: Carefully positioned contrast panels help to hide dirt and grease, extending the time between washes and maintaining a smarter look.
Design & Performance
This hoodie is a well-engineered garment designed for the rigours of daily trade use. The medium-weight fabric offers a substantial feel that speaks to its quality, providing a sturdy barrier against the elements without being overly restrictive. The blend of synthetic and natural fibres means the garment is resilient enough to withstand frequent wear while the cotton element ensures comfort during long shifts.
Performance is at the heart of the design, particularly in the choice of high-visibility orange paired with navy contrast sections. This combination ensures compliance with visibility requirements while ensuring that areas prone to soiling do not compromise the professional appearance of the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Hi-Vis Contrast Hoodie is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a superior finish, typically used for company logos and staff names on the chest. It provides a three-dimensional, high-quality look that stands up exceptionally well to industrial laundering.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant branding—perhaps for back logos or promotional messaging—printing offers a bold and clear finish. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these customisation techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and expertise.
Use Cases
This garment is suitable for a wide range of professionals, including construction workers, delivery drivers, and warehouse staff. Its high-visibility properties make it essential for those working near moving vehicles or in low-light conditions, while the casual hoodie style makes it a popular choice for team members who prefer a more modern alternative to traditional hi-vis vests or jackets.

Practical Advice
Given the brushed back lining, this hoodie is a substantial layer. If you intend to wear it over multiple layers, such as a thermal base and a polo shirt, you may wish to consider your sizing requirements to ensure ease of movement. The adjustable hood is particularly useful when working in draughty environments, providing immediate protection without the need for additional headwear.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and the integrity of your custom branding, it is essential to follow the recommended care path. Maintaining the cleanliness of the garment is vital for its safety function, as dirt can mask the reflective properties.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and cause premature fading of the high-visibility pigment. Do not use bleach, as this will destroy the fluorescent properties of the fabric and weaken the material.
This garment should be line dried only; do not tumble dry, as the heat from a dryer can lead to shrinkage and may damage any applied prints or embroidery. Similarly, do not iron the garment, as the high heat can melt the polyester content and ruin the finish. Finally, this item is not suitable for dry cleaning, and the maximum number of washes should not exceed 50 to ensure the garment remains within safety specifications.
