Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Reversible Bodywarmer is a versatile solution for professionals who require both high-level visibility and thermal protection. Engineered with a reversible design, this garment allows the wearer to switch between a high-visibility orange safety mode and a more discreet, insulated layer. This adaptability makes it an essential piece of equipment for those transitioning between hazardous work zones and public-facing environments. The substantial construction ensures heat is efficiently trapped, providing consistent warmth throughout the working day without the bulk of a full jacket.
Key Features
- Reversible functionality: Provides two garments in one, offering a high-visibility side for safety and a contrast side for general work or leisure.
- Stain-resistant finish: The outer shell is treated to repel oil and water, ensuring the garment remains clean and professional even in demanding environments.
- Double PU Coating: This treatment enhances the fabric's durability and provides a reliable barrier against moisture, keeping the wearer dry and the internal insulation protected.
- Modular Compatibility: Designed to interact with style S468, allowing for a comprehensive, layered weather-protection system.
Design & Performance
The garment is constructed from a robust 300D Oxford weave polyester shell. This fabric choice provides a sturdy, abrasion-resistant surface that stands up to the rigours of daily site work. The double PU coating is not merely for show; it serves as a critical barrier against wind and light rain, while the internal polyester filling provides significant thermal insulation without adding excessive weight. On the reverse, the polyester and cotton blend lining offers a comfortable, breathable alternative that feels more like traditional leisurewear while maintaining the core temperature of the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your clothing is a walking billboard for your business. This bodywarmer is particularly well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names; our high-tensile threads interact well with the substantial Oxford fabric, ensuring the branding remains secure and legible. If you require large, bold graphics or promotional messaging on the high-visibility side, our precision printing process provides a crisp finish that won't compromise the garment's safety features. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting this craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This bodywarmer is ideal for site managers, delivery drivers, and tradespeople who require flexibility in their workwear. It is particularly effective for those who spend part of their day on-site requiring safety compliance and the other part in transit or at a depot. The 4XL sizing ensures a comfortable fit over heavy base layers or jumpers for larger frames or those operating in extreme cold.

Practical Advice
To maximise the utility of this garment, consider pairing it with the S468 interactive jacket. This allows you to create a modular system that can be adapted as the British weather inevitably changes. When selecting your size, remember that this is a substantial, padded garment designed to be worn over other clothing; however, the bodywarmer design allows for excellent arm mobility compared to a full-sleeved coat.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your safety wear is vital for both professional appearance and long-term performance. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. This ensures that the stain-resistant finish is cleaned effectively without degrading the adhesive properties of the reflective tape or the PU coating.
You must avoid the use of bleach, as this will chemically damage the polyester fibres and dull the high-visibility orange hue, potentially compromising safety compliance. Similarly, do not tumble dry this garment; the high heat of a dryer can cause the PU coating to delaminate. Instead, we advise a drip line dry.
Do not iron this product, as direct heat will melt the synthetic shell and damage the thermal filling. Finally, please note that the reflective properties of the garment are rated for a maximum of 50 washes, after which the visibility levels may no longer meet the original certified standards.
