Product Overview
The B317 Hi-Vis Contrast Zipped Hoodie is a substantial garment designed for professionals who require visibility without compromising on the comfort and practicality of modern workwear. This hoodie seamlessly blends safety requirements with a functional aesthetic, featuring a two-tone orange and navy design that helps maintain a professional appearance by hiding dirt on high-contact areas. The inclusion of a full-length front zip allows for easy temperature regulation, making it a versatile choice for variable British weather conditions.
Key Features
- Adjustable Hood: The integrated hood provides essential protection against the elements, allowing you to remain focused on the task at hand during light rain or wind.
- Front Zip Opening: The high-quality front zip offers quick access and ease of wear, particularly useful when layering over other work garments.
- Side Pockets: These conveniently placed pockets offer secure storage for hand tools or personal items, ensuring your essentials are always within reach.
- Brushed Easy Care Fabric: The interior fabric is brushed for a soft finish, providing significant warmth and comfort throughout a long shift.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this hoodie is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear. The polyester ensures long-term durability and colour retention, while the cotton content provides breathability and a natural feel against the skin. The fabric is a heavyweight material, offering the thermal insulation needed for outdoor environments or unheated warehouses. The contrast navy panels are strategically placed to mask grease and grime, ensuring the hi-vis orange sections remain effective for safety.
Customisation: Embroidery Only
This garment is specifically suited for embroidery rather than print. The textured, brushed nature of the heavyweight hoodie fabric provides an excellent foundation for high-density stitching. Embroidery offers a premium, three-dimensional finish that maintains its integrity even after repeated industrial laundering. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based embroidery team has been perfecting this craft since 1976, ensuring your company logo is reproduced with absolute precision and durability that matches the lifespan of the garment.
Use Cases
This hoodie is an ideal choice for site managers, delivery drivers, and tradespeople working in environments where high visibility is mandatory but a standard jacket might be too restrictive. It is particularly effective for those in logistics and construction who need a professional, branded appearance while staying warm on the move.

Practical Advice
The B317 is designed for a comfortable, regular fit. We recommend layering this hoodie over a moisture-wicking base layer for optimal thermal performance. When choosing your size, consider that the substantial weight of the fabric means it provides a structured fit rather than a loose, slouchy one.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and visibility of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and reduce the effectiveness of the fluorescent dyes.
Do not use bleach, as this will immediately compromise the high-visibility properties and weaken the fabric structure. The hoodie should be line dried only; tumble drying can lead to shrinkage and may distort the embroidery over time.
This garment should not be ironed or dry cleaned, as heat and chemical solvents can damage the reflective materials. Please note that the high-visibility properties are guaranteed for a maximum of 50 washes, after which the garment may no longer meet the original safety specifications.
