Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis quarter-zip sweatshirt is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require high visibility without sacrificing the warmth of a standard sweatshirt. Crafted from a medium-weight anti-pill fleece fabric, it features a jersey lining that provides an additional layer of insulation, making it an ideal choice for outdoor work in cooler conditions. The water-repellent finish ensures that light moisture is kept at bay, allowing you to focus on the task at hand rather than the weather.
Key Features
- Certified to EN ISO20471:2013 Class 3, ensuring the highest level of visibility for maximum safety in high-traffic environments.
- The orange variant conforms to RIS-3279-TOM, making it suitable and safe for use within the UK railway industry.
- Equipped with two 5cm width reflective tapes around the body and arms, plus one over each shoulder, to ensure you remain visible from all angles.
- Constructed with twin needle stitching throughout, which provides superior seam strength and longevity under demanding work conditions.
- Features a stand-up collar with a self-matching colour trim and a quarter-length zipper for easy temperature regulation and a professional finish.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is manufactured from 100% polyester anti-pill fleece. The anti-pill finish is essential for maintaining a professional appearance, as it prevents the fabric from bobbling after repeated wear and washing. Inside, the jersey lining offers a soft touch against the skin and adds a necessary layer of warmth for those early starts or late shifts.
The ribbed cuffs and waistband are designed to provide a secure fit, preventing draughts from entering the garment. The twin needle stitching is not just a decorative touch; it is a structural necessity that ensures the sweatshirt can withstand the physical rigours of a manual working day without the risk of seam failure.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Yoko Hi-vis sweatshirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safetywear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a permanent, professional appearance that withstands the rigours of industrial washing.
For larger, more impactful branding on the back, our high-quality print processes are the preferred choice. Our expert team at MyWorkwear has been handling customisation in-house at our Telford facility since 1976, ensuring that every garment meets our exacting standards before it reaches your team.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for professionals working in construction, logistics, and road maintenance where high-visibility certification is a mandatory requirement. The orange version is specifically tailored for railway workers who must adhere to strict safety standards. It is also an excellent choice for warehouse staff working in cold storage or loading bays where both warmth and visibility are paramount.

Practical Advice
The medium-weight nature of this sweatshirt makes it a versatile layering piece. It fits comfortably over a base layer or polo shirt and can be easily worn under a heavier waterproof jacket when the conditions turn particularly foul. We recommend reviewing the size guide, as this style is available in a broad range from Small to 3XL to accommodate all team members.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and structural integrity of this sweatshirt, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a synthetic cycle. Avoid biological powders, as these can degrade the specialised fibres and the reflective tape over time.
Do not use bleach, as this will destroy the fluorescent dyes required for safety compliance. This garment should not be ironed or tumble dried, as excessive heat can damage the reflective tapes and the polyester fleece. A cold rinse and short spin are sufficient. Please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 25 wash cycles to ensure it continues to meet safety standards.
