Product Overview
The ProRTX High Visibility Kids Waistcoat is a fundamental safety garment engineered to provide maximum visibility for younger wearers. Whether utilised for school excursions, cycling, or evening walks, this waistcoat ensures that children remain conspicuous to motorists and others in low-light environments. Manufactured by ProRTX, this garment prioritises essential safety without compromising the comfort required for active children during their daily activities.
Key Features
- Certified to EN 1150:1999 standards for the High Visibility Yellow and Orange variants, ensuring the garment meets specific safety requirements for non-professional use.
- Strategic over-shoulder and around-body reflective tape provides 360-degree visibility, ensuring the wearer is seen from all angles.
- The full front tear and release fastening allows for effortless removal and serves as a safety feature should the garment become snagged.
- A sleeveless, open design ensures the waistcoat can be easily layered over bulky school coats or uniforms without restricting movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this waistcoat utilises a lightweight fabric that is both breathable and resilient. The material is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain vibrant colour and reflective integrity even after repeated use. Because the fabric is lightweight, it does not add unnecessary bulk or weight, allowing children to move freely and comfortably while staying safe.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This waistcoat serves as an excellent platform for customisation, making it ideal for school groups or community organisations. Embroidery offers a refined and durable finish, perfect for small school crests or individual names. For larger, more prominent designs such as event titles or group names, our high-quality printing process ensures a bold result that stands out. All customisation is managed by our dedicated in-house team in Telford, utilising expertise gathered since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for primary school classes on educational trips, local sports clubs, and youth organisations like the Scouts or Brownies. It is also an essential item for parents looking to increase their child's safety during the winter school run or while walking in poorly lit areas.

Practical Advice
When selecting a size, please consider the garments that will be worn underneath. As these waistcoats are frequently worn over thick winter jackets, we recommend reviewing the size guide to ensure a fit that allows for both comfort and full closure of the fastening.
Caring for your product
To preserve the high-visibility properties and the effectiveness of the reflective tape, it is vital to follow the recommended care routine. Proper maintenance ensures the garment remains a reliable safety tool for as long as possible.
We recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the reflective strips and cause the high-visibility pigments to fade, reducing the garment's safety performance. The waistcoat should not be tumble dried, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibres and the adhesive backing of the reflective tape.
Do not iron this garment, as the heat will melt the polyester fabric and the reflective elements. Similarly, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the solvents used can compromise the technical properties of the high-visibility material.
