Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis long sleeve waistcoat (HVJ200) is a specialised safety garment engineered for professionals who require maximum visibility and full upper-body coverage. Unlike standard waistcoats, this long-sleeved version ensures the wearer is identifiable from all angles, including side profiles, which is essential in busy or low-light environments. Its robust construction and adherence to strict safety certifications make it a reliable choice for high-risk sites.
Key Features
- EN ISO20471:2013 Class 3 Certification: This waistcoat meets the highest standard for visibility, making it suitable for environments where workers are in close proximity to high-speed traffic or heavy machinery.
- Comprehensive Reflective Detailing: Equipped with two 5cm reflective tape bands around the torso and two bands encircling the full length of the sleeves, ensuring consistent visibility in various lighting conditions.
- Secure Hook and Loop Fastening: The touch-and-close front allows for rapid donning and removal, providing a practical and secure closure that remains reliable throughout the working day.
Design & Performance
Fabricated from 100% polyester, this waistcoat is designed to be both lightweight and exceptionally durable. The fabric choice ensures that the garment does not feel cumbersome when worn over other workwear, yet it is strong enough to withstand the daily demands of manual labour. The long-sleeve design is a specific performance feature for workers who require their arms to be covered for safety compliance or added protection against the elements, without the bulk of a heavy jacket.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This waistcoat is perfectly suited for customisation, allowing businesses to maintain a professional appearance while adhering to safety regulations. For a sophisticated and permanent finish, our expert embroidery service is ideal for company logos and staff names. If you require large, high-impact branding across the back or chest, our professional printing process delivers sharp, bold designs that stand out. All customisation is performed in-house at our Telford facility, where we have been perfecting our craft since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is designed for any worker who needs full arm visibility, particularly those in construction, road maintenance, rail industries, and logistics. It is the professional choice for site managers and operatives who must meet Class 3 safety requirements while maintaining mobility.

Practical Advice
This waistcoat is designed with a generous fit to accommodate layering over sweatshirts or work jackets. We recommend reviewing the size range, which extends from Small (36/38") to 3XL (56/58"), to ensure you select the appropriate size for your team's specific layering requirements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and certification of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. This ensures the fabric is cleaned effectively without damaging the integrity of the reflective tapes.
Do not use bleach, as these chemicals will degrade the fluorescent dyes and diminish the garment's visibility. Avoid tumble drying or ironing, as the synthetic polyester and reflective materials can be permanently damaged by high heat. Dry cleaning should also be avoided, as the solvents used can interfere with the technical properties of the safety tapes.
Please note that this garment has a maximum limit of 25 wash cycles. After this point, the reflective and fluorescent properties may no longer meet the certified safety standards, and the waistcoat should be replaced to ensure continued protection for the wearer.
