The Yoko Kids Hi-Viz Waistcoat is a vital safety garment designed to provide maximum visibility for younger users in various environments. As part of Yoko's established junior safety range, this waistcoat is engineered to meet the specific requirements of school-aged children, whether they are on an educational outing or travelling to school. It balances the need for high-conspicuity with a lightweight design that does not hinder movement, ensuring children remain safe and seen.
This waistcoat is constructed from a lightweight polyester fabric that offers excellent breathability, making it suitable for year-round use. Unlike heavier safety garments, its thin profile allows it to be worn comfortably over existing clothing, from summer t-shirts to bulky winter coats. The 50mm reflective tape is strategically positioned to outline the human form, which is critical for recognition by drivers in low-light or night-time conditions. The sewn-in tag ensures that the garment remains identifiable and maintains its professional appearance even with regular use.
This waistcoat is an ideal canvas for customisation, allowing schools, clubs, and businesses to apply their own branding. Embroidery is highly recommended for a superior, long-lasting finish on the chest area, perfect for school crests or individual names. For larger, high-impact designs, our professional printing process is the preferred choice, particularly for identifying school groups on field trips.
The garment features several dedicated branding zones. On a size small, we can accommodate designs between the two shoulder reflective tapes at the rear (17cm x 20cm), between the horizontal tapes at the rear (42cm x 4cm), and on the left or right chest (8cm x 8cm). Our in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting garment decoration since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the highest standards are maintained.
This garment is essential for any scenario where child visibility is paramount. It is widely used for school walking buses, supervised field trips, and cycling. It is also an excellent choice for community groups, such as scouts or youth sports teams, and for personal use during evening walks or family outings in poorly lit areas.
With a heritage stretching back to 1976, MyWorkwear has established itself as a leading expert in safety and workwear garments. Based in Telford, our expert team combines decades of technical knowledge with modern customisation techniques. We understand the specific safety requirements of hi-vis garments and ensure that every customised piece we produce meets our rigorous quality benchmarks.
When selecting sizes, we recommend considering the outerwear that will be worn beneath the waistcoat. The size range includes Small (28/30"), Medium (32/34"), and Large (36/38"). If the vest is intended for winter use over heavy jackets, opting for a larger size will provide a more comfortable fit and ensure the hook and loop fastening remains secure.
To maintain the high-visibility performance and safety certification of this garment, it is essential to care for the reflective tape correctly. You should avoid the use of biological detergents or bleach, as these chemical agents can break down the glass beads in the reflective strips, significantly reducing their effectiveness in low light.
We recommend washing the garment inside out to protect any custom print or embroidery from direct contact with the washing machine drum. This practice helps to preserve the integrity of the branding and prevents the reflective tape from premature wear, ensuring the garment remains a reliable piece of safety equipment for as long as possible.
