Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis softshell gilet (HV006) is a purposeful addition to any professional workwear wardrobe, designed for those who require both high visibility and core temperature regulation. This garment offers a refined alternative to a standard hi-vis vest, providing the protective benefits of softshell fabric without the restriction of full sleeves. It is a well-engineered solution for staying seen and staying warm while maintaining the range of motion necessary for physical labor.
Key Features
- High-visibility colouring ensures you remain conspicuous on-site, fulfilling a fundamental requirement for health and safety in hazardous environments.
- The softshell construction provides essential wind resistance, helping to maintain core body temperature during outdoor shifts.
- A sleeveless gilet design permits complete freedom of movement for your arms, which is particularly beneficial for tasks involving lifting, reaching, or operating machinery.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this gilet is made from a substantial, heavyweight fabric that feels sturdy and reliable. Unlike lighter alternatives, this material offers a robust barrier against the elements, ensuring durability even when worn daily in demanding conditions. The softshell fabric is chosen for its ability to balance protection with comfort, providing a professional appearance that doesn't sacrifice performance.
The garment is available in several colour configurations, including high-visibility orange and yellow, with options for navy contrast panels. This variety allows businesses to align their safety wear with their corporate identity while ensuring their staff remain protected.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance — ideal for company logos and individual names — and stands up to repeated washing without fading. This method is often preferred for its long-lasting, professional finish.
For larger, bold designs or a broader range of colours, our printing service is exceptionally well-suited, providing a sharp and vibrant result that ensures your branding is clear from a distance.
Our dedicated in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation from our facility in Telford, ensuring your brand is represented with the highest level of precision and care.
Use Cases
This gilet is particularly suited for site managers, logistics professionals, and tradespeople who move frequently between indoor and outdoor environments. It is an excellent choice for those working in transport or construction where being seen is non-negotiable, but a full jacket may prove too restrictive or warm during active tasks.

Practical Advice
This gilet is available in a wide range of sizes from Small to 3XL. Due to its substantial fabric weight, it serves as an excellent outer layer over a sweatshirt or polo shirt during the spring and autumn months. In more extreme winter conditions, its sleek profile allows it to be worn comfortably as a mid-layer beneath a heavier waterproof coat.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety standards of this gilet, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided on the garment label. Proper maintenance ensures that the technical properties of the softshell fabric remain intact over time.
Preserving the integrity of the high-visibility pigments and reflective elements is crucial. Avoid using bleach or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can degrade the fabric's visibility properties and reduce the garment's effectiveness as a safety item. Regular, gentle cleaning according to the manufacturer's guidance will ensure your custom branding and the garment's finish remain in superior condition.
