Yoko Hi-vis reversible fleece bodywarmer (HV008F)

Product Overview

The Yoko Hi-vis reversible fleece bodywarmer (HV008F) is a sophisticated solution for professionals who require versatility without compromising on safety standards. This garment serves a dual purpose: one side features a high-visibility, waterproof PU-coated polyester for hazardous environments, while the reverse offers a classic navy anti-pill fleece for a more understated, professional look. It is engineered to provide both warmth and visibility in a lightweight format that facilitates ease of movement throughout the working day.

Key Features

• Certified to EN ISO20471 Class 2, ensuring you remain visible to colleagues and vehicles in high-traffic areas and low-light conditions.
• The Orange variant adheres to RIS-3279-TOM standards, making it an essential requirement for those working within the UK rail industry.
• A fully reversible design allows for a quick transition from a safety-critical hi-vis outer to a navy fleece, providing two garments in one.
• Integrated embroidery access at the bottom hem allows for clean, high-quality branding without interfering with the garment's structure or reversible function.
• Equipped with two hand-warmer pockets on both the hi-vis and fleece sides, providing practical storage and comfort regardless of how the garment is worn.

Design & Performance

Constructed from a high-grade 100% polyester fabric, this bodywarmer is designed to withstand the rigours of daily professional use. The hi-vis side utilizes a PU coating to offer water-resistant protection against light rain and wind, while the navy reverse is crafted from anti-pill fleece. The anti-pill finish is crucial for maintaining a professional appearance, as it prevents the fabric from bobbling after repeated wear and washing. The full-length zip fastens right up to the chin, offering additional protection against wind chill. Being a lightweight fabric, it provides the necessary insulation without the bulk of a traditional heavy jacket, making it perfect for active roles.

Customisation: Embroidery Only

To maintain the premium feel and long-term durability of this reversible garment, we offer embroidery as the exclusive customisation method. The textured nature of the fleece side and the technical coating on the hi-vis side are best suited to the precision of a needle and thread rather than heat-applied prints. Our in-house embroidery team, operating since 1976 from our Telford base, uses high-tensile threads to ensure your logo remains crisp and professional. The dedicated embroidery access ensures the back of the stitching is neatly concealed, maintaining the integrity of the reversible design and ensuring the wearer's comfort is never compromised.

Use Cases

This bodywarmer is an ideal choice for site managers, logistics personnel, and transport workers who frequently move between outdoor environments and public-facing or office roles. Its ability to switch from a high-visibility safety garment to a standard navy fleece makes it highly adaptable for those who need to maintain visibility during their shifts but prefer a more casual appearance during breaks or transit.

Practical Advice

As this is a lightweight garment, it is perfectly suited for layering over a sweatshirt or hoodie during colder months. For the best fit, we recommend measuring your chest and referring to our size range, which spans from Small (36/38") to 3XL (54/56"). The generous cut ensures that even when worn over bulkier layers, your range of movement remains unrestricted for manual tasks.

Caring for your product

To ensure the longevity of the high-visibility properties and the fleece finish, we recommend a domestic wash at no higher than 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the PU coating and the reflective tape, which would ultimately reduce the garment's safety effectiveness over time.

It is important not to use bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and dull the fluorescent colours. The garment should not be tumble dried or ironed; the heat from these processes can melt the synthetic materials and the reflective elements. We also advise against dry cleaning or industrial laundering, as the harsh chemicals and high heat are detrimental to the garment's integrity. Please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 25 wash cycles to ensure it continues to meet the required visibility safety standards.
