Product Overview
The HV55 Hi-Vis Strap is a streamlined and efficient safety accessory designed for professionals who require enhanced visibility without the necessity of a full-size waistcoat. This orange strap offers a practical, non-restrictive solution for maintaining safety standards in environments where being seen is critical. It is engineered to be worn over existing workwear, providing a versatile layer of protection that can be deployed or removed in seconds.
Key Features
- The adjustable hook and loop fastening allows for flexible sizing, ensuring the strap fits securely over various types of workwear, from lightweight shirts to heavy winter jackets.
- A substantial 7.5cm belt and shoulder band width provides a robust and stable fit, preventing the strap from sliding or twisting during physical labour.
- Integrated 3cm wide reflective tape significantly increases wearer visibility in low-light conditions, providing an essential safety margin in high-traffic areas.
- The simple wrap-around design makes it incredibly easy to wear and remove, facilitating quick transitions between different work zones.
Design & Performance
Crafted from 100% Polyester with a durable PVC coating, this strap is designed to withstand the daily demands of a professional site. The PVC coating provides a resilient finish that helps the fabric maintain its structure and resist the ingress of dirt. Despite its hard-wearing nature, the material remains lightweight, ensuring it does not add unnecessary bulk or heat to the wearer's outfit.
Performance is further guaranteed by its certification to EN 17353 Type B3 standards. This technical rating confirms that the strap meets specific requirements for enhanced visibility equipment, giving both the employer and the employee peace of mind regarding site safety compliance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Maintaining a professional appearance is straightforward with the HV55, as it is suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is particularly effective for adding company names or staff titles, offering a traditional and professional appearance that stands up well to repeated use.
For those requiring larger, high-impact logos, our printing services provide a bold finish that ensures your brand is clearly visible. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford. MyWorkwear has been refining these processes since 1976, ensuring that every logo is applied with technical precision to maintain the garment's safety properties.
Use Cases
This strap is an ideal choice for the construction industry, particularly for supervisors or visitors who may need to move quickly between secure and active zones. It is also well-suited for logistics workers and delivery drivers who require a high-visibility solution that is easy to store in a vehicle and quick to put on during drop-offs.

Practical Advice
When selecting your sizing, consider the thickest garment you are likely to wear underneath this strap. The hook and loop fastening provides significant adjustment, but ensuring the 7.5cm bands sit flat against the body will provide the most comfortable and secure experience. For maximum effectiveness, ensure the reflective tape is not obscured by bags or other equipment.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical performance of the reflective tape and the PVC-coated polyester, we recommend a very mild wash process at a maximum temperature of 40°C. High temperatures can degrade the adhesive properties of the reflective strips and damage the fabric's coating.
Bleaching and dry cleaning must be avoided, as these processes involve harsh chemicals that will strip the vibrant orange pigment and compromise the visibility of the strap.
The garment should be drip-dried on a line to maintain its shape. Do not tumble dry or iron this product, as the heat will cause the PVC coating to melt and the reflective materials to lose their retro-reflective capabilities. Please be aware that this item is rated for a maximum of five washes to ensure it continues to meet safety certification standards.
