Product Overview
The Result Core R201X safety motorway vest is a fundamental component of site-based safety equipment, designed to provide high-level visibility without compromising on comfort. Engineered as a lightweight overgarment, it is sized generously to ensure it fits comfortably over standard work jackets or knitwear. This vest is not merely a requirement of site health and safety; it is a well-constructed piece of PPE that meets rigorous British and European standards, ensuring you and your team remain seen in low-light environments.
Key Features
- Certified Visibility: Conforms to EN ISO 20471 + A1:2016 Class 2, ensuring the wearer meets legal requirements for high-visibility protection in professional settings.
- Strategic Reflective Tapes: Features 50mm sewn-on safety tapes in a 'shoulder brace and two body hoop' configuration, providing 360-degree visibility.
- Secure Tear Release Fastening: A single, long vertical fastening allows for quick application and removal, while ensuring the garment stays securely closed during movement.
- Enhanced Durability: Finished with grey polyester bound edges to prevent fraying and extend the lifecycle of the garment in demanding environments.
- Generous Sizing: Specifically cut to be worn as an overgarment, allowing for easy layering over thicker workwear without restricting movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight 100% polyester fabric, this vest is designed for maximum breathability while maintaining its structure. The fabric choice is deliberate, ensuring the garment does not add significant weight to the wearer’s attire, making it suitable for long shifts in varying temperatures. The orange variant of this vest carries the additional RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 2 accreditation, making it suitable for use within the UK railway industry.
Performance is heavily dependent on the condition of the garment. The safety tapes are sewn rather than glued, which increases their resilience against the mechanical stress of daily wear. By maintaining the cleanliness of the fabric and the integrity of the reflective strips, you ensure the garment continues to perform its primary function: keeping the wearer safe and visible.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that high-visibility clothing is also a prime opportunity for brand representation. The Result Core R201X is suitable for direct print, transfer print, and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure a superior finish.
For a clean, professional appearance, embroidery is ideal for adding company logos or individual names to the chest area. If you require large, bold branding across the back of the vest, print methods provide a cost-effective and highly visible solution. Both methods are applied with care to ensure they do not compromise the safety certifications of the garment.
Use Cases
This vest is an essential requirement for a wide range of industries including construction, road maintenance, and logistics. Because of its lightweight nature and ease of use, it is also the perfect choice for site visitors, delivery drivers, or warehouse staff who need to be identified quickly for safety purposes. The orange version is specifically tailored for those working on or near the UK railway infrastructure.

Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit, please note that these vests are designed with a generous cut to be worn over other clothing. We recommend choosing your standard size, as the necessary 'overgarment room' is already built into the design. For maximum effectiveness, the vest should always be worn fastened; leaving it open significantly reduces its visibility profile and safety rating.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the cleanliness of your safety vest is vital for its performance. Dirt and grime can dull the fluorescent fabric and the reflective tapes, reducing your visibility to others. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Regular cleaning according to these guidelines ensures the garment remains compliant with safety standards for longer.
Do not use bleach, as this will destroy the fluorescent dyes in the polyester, rendering the vest unsafe for professional use. Similarly, avoid the use of solvents which can degrade the adhesive and reflective properties of the safety tapes.
This garment should not be tumble dried or ironed. High heat can melt the synthetic polyester fibres and damage the reflective tapes, causing them to crack or lose their luminosity. By air drying your vest, you preserve the technical integrity of the materials and ensure your custom branding remains sharp.
