Yoko Hi-vis London rucksack (YK8001)

Product Overview

The Yoko Hi-vis London rucksack (YK150) is a well-engineered solution for individuals who require high visibility and reliable storage during both the working day and leisure time. This substantial rucksack is constructed from heavy-duty waterproof polyester, ensuring that your equipment remains dry regardless of the British weather. With a functional 23-litre capacity and ISO20471 compliant fabric, it combines practical utility with essential safety standards for the modern professional.

Key Features

• ISO20471 compliant fabric provides exceptional visibility, ensuring you remain conspicuous to others in low-light or hazardous environments.
• Manufactured from a substantial waterproof polyester to protect your belongings from moisture ingress during transit.
• The front expandable pocket is specifically designed to accommodate a standard helmet or ball, making it highly versatile for site workers and commuters.
• Integrated 25mm reflective strips on three sides offer additional safety by reflecting light back to its source, increasing your visual profile.
• Adjustable padded shoulder straps distribute weight evenly to reduce strain and improve comfort during extended periods of wear.

Design & Performance

Constructed from a dense, heavy-duty polyester, the London rucksack is built to withstand the rigours of daily use. The internal layout is thoughtfully designed, featuring a main compartment with separation to keep your documentation and tools organised. For those who require technology on the move, the internal pocket for devices includes a rubber outlet for earphones, allowing for secure and weatherproof audio access. The inclusion of side mesh pockets provides quick access to water bottles or smaller essentials, enhancing the overall performance of the bag in active environments.

Customisation: Print & Embroidery

The Yoko London rucksack offers a significant decoration area of 12 x 16cm on the front cover, making it an ideal canvas for corporate branding. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting customisation since 1976. For a formal, professional finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names. Should you require larger, more vibrant graphics that catch the eye from a distance, our high-quality print services are the preferred choice. Both options are handled in-house to ensure your brand is represented with precision and durability.

Use Cases

This rucksack is perfectly suited for cycling commuters, delivery personnel, and construction professionals who need to carry personal items alongside their safety gear. Its ability to hold a helmet makes it an excellent choice for site visits where head protection is mandatory. It is equally effective for leisure use, such as for athletes or students who require visibility during evening travel.

Practical Advice

This is a one-size accessory designed to accommodate most adults. The adjustable shoulder straps allow the rucksack to be worn comfortably over bulky high-visibility jackets or heavy winter coats without restricting movement. We suggest ensuring the straps are correctly tensioned to keep the load close to your back, which improves balance and ensures the reflective strips remain positioned correctly for maximum visibility.

Caring for your product

To maintain the high-visibility properties and waterproof integrity of the fabric, it is essential to follow these care instructions. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C on a synthetic cycle. Using higher temperatures or aggressive cycles can lead to the degradation of the polyester fibres and the reflective elements.

Avoid the use of bleaching agents at all costs. Bleach will permanently damage the fluorescent pigment of the fabric, reducing its effectiveness as safety wear and voiding its compliance. Similarly, biological powders should be avoided as the enzymes can break down the technical waterproof coating over time.

Do not iron or tumble dry this rucksack. High heat will cause the synthetic fabric to melt or distort, and the reflective strips may lose their adhesion. Allow the bag to air dry naturally after a cold rinse. Please note that the high-visibility performance is rated for a maximum of 25 wash cycles to ensure it continues to meet safety regulations.
