Product Overview
The RWS Hi-Vis Hoodie is a professional-grade garment designed for individuals who require high visibility without sacrificing physical flexibility. Engineered with the popular RWS tape configuration, this hooded sweatshirt utilizes premium HiVisTex Pro segmented tape. Unlike traditional continuous heat-seal tape, this segmented design allows the fabric to stretch and move naturally with the wearer, reducing the restrictive feeling often associated with safety apparel while ensuring you remain conspicuous in low-light environments.
Key Features
- HiVisTex Pro Segmented Tape: This innovative reflective material increases visibility while providing excellent freedom of movement, ensuring the garment doesn't feel stiff during active tasks.
- Adjustable Hood: The integrated hood can be adjusted for a secure fit, offering essential protection against wind and light rain when working outdoors.
- Generous Pockets: Large pockets provide ample space for essential tools or personal items, keeping them accessible throughout a demanding shift.
- Elasticated Cuffs and Hem: These provide a secure fit that helps to retain warmth and prevents the sleeves from interfering with manual work.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is constructed from a robust blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific composition combines the hard-wearing, colour-fast properties of polyester with the natural breathability and soft handle of cotton. The resulting substantial-weight fabric is designed to withstand the rigours of daily site work while maintaining its shape and professional appearance over time.
The segmented tape is the highlight of the performance design; by breaking the reflective material into sections, the hoodie maintains its breathability and elasticity, which is a significant advantage for tradespeople involved in constant reaching or lifting.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your clothing is a walking billboard for your business. This hoodie is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery, handled by our expert team in Telford. For a traditional and authoritative corporate identity, we recommend embroidery for your company logo on the chest. The fabric's weave is dense enough to support high-stitch-count embroidery without puckering.
If you require large-scale branding or high-impact text on the back, our modern printing techniques provide a sharp, vibrant finish that stands out. Since 1976, we have been perfecting the art of garment customisation, ensuring your brand looks as professional as the work you do.
Use Cases
This hooded sweatshirt is an essential choice for professionals in the construction, logistics, and rail sectors who require high-visibility protection in cooler conditions. Its balance of warmth and mobility makes it ideal for warehouse managers, site supervisors, and roadside recovery technicians who need to remain visible to moving vehicles and machinery while staying comfortable.

Practical Advice
This hoodie features a generous fit to allow for layering over t-shirts or base layers. If you prefer a more tailored look for administrative or supervisory roles, you may wish to consider your usual size, but for those wearing multiple layers underneath during winter, the 4XL sizing provides the necessary volume to ensure comfort and ease of movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and the integrity of the custom branding, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can degrade the adhesive properties of the reflective tape and cause premature fading of the fluorescent orange fabric.
Do not use bleach, as this will destroy the reflective properties of the HiVisTex Pro tape and compromise the safety certification of the garment. This hoodie should be line dried only; tumble drying can cause heat damage to the segmented tape and may lead to shrinkage of the cotton fibres.
Ironing is not permitted on this garment. High heat from an iron will melt the reflective tape and damage any printed logos. Finally, please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes; beyond this point, the reflective performance may no longer meet the original safety specifications, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
