Design & Performance
The performance of the RG471 vest is rooted in its material composition. The lightweight knit fabric is specifically chosen for its durability and its ability to withstand the daily rigours of a busy site while remaining easy to wear. Unlike heavier garments that might cause overheating, this vest provides the necessary safety certification without adding unnecessary bulk. The two-band reflective system is carefully applied to ensure that visibility is maintained even in challenging lighting conditions, providing peace of mind for both the employee and the employer.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit and maximum safety, consider the layers you will be wearing beneath the vest. We recommend sizing up if you intend to wear this over a bulky winter jacket or heavy-duty sweatshirt. The size range extends from Small to 3XL, catering to a wide range of body types and ensuring that every member of your team is properly protected.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and visibility of this safety garment, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. A cool wash is recommended to preserve the integrity of the polyester knit and the reflective properties of the tape. Using high temperatures can damage the reflective materials, rendering the vest less effective in low-light conditions.
We advise against the use of bleach, as this will degrade the fabric and significantly dull the high-visibility pigment. Similarly, the garment should not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned. Exposure to high heat from irons or dryers can melt the synthetic fibres and the reflective strips, compromising both the fit and the safety certification of the vest. Air drying is the safest method to ensure the longevity of your investment.
