Product Overview
The B904 Quick Release Hi-Vis Rucksack is a technical luggage solution specifically engineered for professionals operating in high-risk environments. This is not merely a bag for carrying equipment; it is a piece of safety gear that integrates seamlessly into a high-visibility uniform. Built to meet the requirements of EN ISO 20471, it ensures the wearer remains conspicuous in low-light conditions while providing a specialized safety mechanism to prevent workplace accidents.
Key Features
- Quick-Release Anti-Entanglement System: This innovative safety feature is designed to disconnect the bag from the wearer if it becomes caught in moving machinery or vehicles, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
- EN ISO 20471 Compliant Fabric and Tape: The high-visibility orange fabric and integrated reflective tape ensure you remain visible to colleagues and vehicle operators, maintaining site safety standards.
- Weatherproof Media Outlet: A dedicated port for MP3/CD and mobile phone cables allows for secure communication and device protection against the elements while on the move.
- Ergonomic Support: The inclusion of padded straps and a reinforced back panel ensures weight is distributed evenly, preventing strain during extended shifts.
Design & Performance
The B904 is constructed for durability and wearer safety. The fabric is chosen for its ability to withstand the rigours of industrial use while maintaining the vibrant fluorescent properties required for certification. The reflective tape is strategically positioned to ensure maximum light return from all angles. Performance-wise, the quick-release system is the standout feature, offering peace of mind to those working near conveyors, automated tracks, or heavy plant machinery where standard rucksack straps could pose a snagging hazard.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical safety features, the B904 offers excellent potential for branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, professional finish that stands up well to daily wear. For larger, high-impact branding or safety messaging, print is an ideal choice, allowing for bold designs on the bag's panels. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, ensuring your brand is represented with precision and durability.
Use Cases
This rucksack is an essential item for railway workers, warehouse operatives, and roadside recovery technicians. It is particularly suited for any environment where high-visibility clothing is mandatory and where the risk of entanglement with moving parts or vehicles is a daily reality.

We understand that workwear is more than just a uniform—it is a tool for safety and professional identity, and we treat every garment with the technical respect it deserves.
Practical Advice
When using the rucksack, ensure the straps are adjusted so the bag sits high and tight against your back. This not only improves ergonomic comfort but also ensures the quick-release mechanism is positioned correctly to function as intended in an emergency. If layering over bulky winter jackets, remember to re-adjust the straps to maintain a secure fit.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance of this rucksack, it is vital to keep the reflective tape and fluorescent fabric free from heavy soiling. Accumulated dirt and grease act as a barrier to light, significantly reducing the effectiveness of the EN ISO 20471 features.
We recommend cleaning the rucksack with a damp cloth and mild detergent rather than machine washing, which can degrade the specialised quick-release components and the adhesive properties of the reflective tape. Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will cause the fluorescent pigments to fade, eventually rendering the product non-compliant with safety standards.
