Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Mesh Two Band Vest (C374) is a specialized solution for professionals working in high-temperature environments where standard high-visibility clothing may cause overheating. Engineered using MeshAir technology, this vest prioritises airflow without compromising the wearer's visibility. It is a highly breathable, lightweight garment that ensures compliance with safety standards while maintaining comfort during strenuous physical activity or in warm climates.
Key Features
- EN ISO 20471 Class 2 Certification: Ensures you remain visible and compliant with safety regulations in medium-risk environments.
- MeshAir 100% Polyester Mesh: The open-weave construction allows for maximum ventilation, keeping the wearer cool when the temperature rises.
- Two-Band Reflective Tape: Strategic placement of reflective material ensures high visibility from various angles, essential for safety on-site.
- Generous Fit: Designed to be worn over existing workwear without restricting movement or causing discomfort.
Design & Performance
This vest is constructed from 100% polyester MeshAir fabric. Unlike standard solid-weave polyester, MeshAir features a perforated structure that facilitates constant air circulation. This design is particularly effective at moisture management, preventing the build-up of heat against the body. The vibrant orange hue, combined with high-performance reflective tape, ensures the garment meets the rigorous requirements for high-visibility workwear. The fabric is durable enough for daily use in demanding sectors while remaining exceptionally lightweight for the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The C374 Mesh Vest is an excellent candidate for customisation. For those seeking a professional appearance, embroidery is recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest area. This provides a durable, high-quality finish that withstands the rigours of the workplace.
Alternatively, for larger branding requirements or promotional messaging, heat-seal printing is highly effective. Printing allows for bold, expansive designs on the back of the vest that remain clear and legible. All customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by our expert team, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your branding is applied with precision.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically suited for professionals in construction, tree surgery, and electrical work. Its breathable nature also makes it a preferred choice for security personnel and warehouse operatives who are constantly on the move in environments where temperature control is a challenge.

Practical Advice
This specific vest is designed with a generous fit (4X/5X), making it ideal for layering over heavier work jackets or sweatshirts during transitional seasons. If you are working in exceptionally tight spaces, ensure the vest is sized correctly to prevent any snagging of the mesh fabric.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety certifications of this vest, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. Failure to do so can degrade the reflective properties and the integrity of the mesh fabric.
We recommend a mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the polyester fibres and the adhesive backing of the reflective tape. This garment is rated for a maximum of 25 washes; beyond this, the high-visibility properties may no longer meet the required safety standards.
Do not use bleach, as this will cause discolouration and compromise the orange pigment. The garment should be line dried only. Do not tumble dry, as the intense heat can warp the mesh and cause the reflective bands to crack or peel. Finally, do not iron or dry clean this vest, as both processes involve heat and chemicals that are detrimental to technical safety fabrics.
