Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Reversible Bodywarmer (RT44) is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require adaptability in their workwear. This garment offers a unique dual-purpose design: a high-visibility orange side for environments where safety is paramount, and a neutral grey reverse for a more understated, professional appearance during transit or client meetings. It provides a significant level of core warmth without the restriction of a full jacket, making it an essential piece of equipment for the modern tradesperson.
Key Features
- The reversible design allows the wearer to transition seamlessly between a high-visibility safety garment and a discreet grey vest, offering two functional looks in one.
- Equipped with four deep pockets—two on the hi-vis side and two on the grey side—providing generous storage for mobile devices, tools, or documents.
- The sturdy construction and substantial weight offer excellent insulation, helping to maintain core body temperature in cold conditions.
- A high collar design provides additional protection against wind and drafts, ensuring comfort throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
This is a well-engineered, substantial garment that provides a sturdy feel when worn. The dual-layer nature of the reversible design naturally adds an extra barrier against the elements, making it more effective at heat retention than single-layer alternatives. The fabric on the hi-vis side is designed to remain vibrant, ensuring that safety standards are consistently met. The grey reverse is finished with a clean, professional look that resists the visibility of minor dirt and dust, which is particularly useful for those moving between workshops and office environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The RT44 is an excellent canvas for customisation on both its hi-vis and grey surfaces. For a professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names; this method provides a textured, durable finish that withstands regular wear. For larger, more prominent branding, our high-quality print techniques offer a bold and clear result. All customisation is carried out by our experienced in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on expertise that MyWorkwear has cultivated since 1976.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, and delivery drivers who frequently move between high-risk zones and public areas. It is also an ideal choice for warehouse staff and tradespeople working in unheated environments where arm mobility is critical but core warmth is required.

Practical Advice
To maximise the utility of this bodywarmer, we recommend layering it over a fleece or a medium-weight sweatshirt. This setup allows for easy temperature regulation by adding or removing the outer layer as the work environment changes. If you intend to wear this over multiple thick layers, you might consider selecting a size larger to ensure full freedom of movement across the chest and shoulders.
Caring for your product
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure this garment continues to provide high visibility and thermal protection. We advise following the specific cleaning instructions closely to prevent the degradation of the reflective elements and the outer fabric. Failure to do so may result in a loss of visibility, which could compromise site safety.
When cleaning, avoid using bleach or abrasive detergents, as these can break down the fabric fibres and dull the orange hue. We recommend air drying rather than using high-heat tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the structural integrity of the reversible materials and any custom branding applied to the garment.
