Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis 2-band tabard is a fundamental requirement for individuals who need to remain visible and safe in high-traffic or public-facing environments. Engineered with utility in mind, this garment serves as a versatile outer layer that can be easily donned over standard workwear or everyday clothing. Its simple yet effective design ensures that safety compliance is maintained without hindering movement or comfort.
Key Features
- Safety Standards: The Hi-Vis Yellow and Orange variants conform to EN1150:1999 standards, ensuring you meet specific safety visibility requirements for non-professional use.
- Adjustable Fit: Featuring 10cm elastication on one side and a 10cm hook and loop fastening on the other, this tabard offers substantial chest adjustment to accommodate different layering needs.
- Enhanced Visibility: Two 5cm reflective bands encircle the body, reflecting light back to the source to ensure you are seen in low-light conditions.
- Large Decoration Area: The expansive front and rear surfaces provide an ideal canvas for corporate branding or event identification.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a 100% polyester lightweight fabric, this tabard is designed for breathability and ease of wear. The choice of polyester ensures the garment is resilient enough to withstand the rigours of outdoor activity while remaining light enough to prevent overheating during physical tasks. The hook and loop side fastening is not just for adjustment; it allows for quick removal, which can be a critical safety feature in certain environments.
The fabric choice also ensures that the high-visibility pigment remains vibrant over time, which is essential for maintaining the safety integrity of the garment. The generous sizing options, ranging from S/M to 2XL/3XL, ensure that teams of all sizes can be outfitted consistently.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This tabard is particularly well-suited for customisation, offering a large surface area for branding. For a sophisticated and permanent finish, our in-house embroidery service is ideal for adding company logos or individual names, providing a professional appearance that stands up to repeated use.
If your requirement involves large, bold graphics—such as 'EVENT STAFF' or charity branding—our high-quality print services are recommended. Printing allows for high-contrast, large-scale designs that are easily legible from a distance. All customisation is managed by our expert team in Telford, drawing on our heritage in the industry since 1976 to ensure your brand is represented accurately and professionally.
Use Cases
This tabard is a staple for event organisers, charity workers, and marshals who require clear identification. It is equally effective for football teams during training sessions or for cyclists who need to enhance their visibility on the road. Its lightweight nature makes it perfect for seasonal outdoor work where safety and identification are paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider what will be worn underneath. If the tabard is intended for use over heavy winter coats, we recommend opting for a larger size. The generous 10cm adjustment on the sides provides flexibility, but a comfortable fit is essential for ensuring the reflective bands sit correctly at the midriff.
Caring for your product
To maintain the reflective properties and visibility of your tabard, it is important to follow correct laundering procedures. Dirt and grime can obscure the reflective bands and the fluorescent fabric, directly impacting the garment's safety performance.
We recommend a gentle wash to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibres and the custom branding. Avoid the use of biological detergents containing optical brighteners, as these can eventually dull the high-visibility pigments. Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are closed during the wash to prevent them from snagging on the fabric or other garments in the cycle.
