Product Overview
The Yoko Multifunctional Executive Hi-Vis Waistcoat is a significant upgrade from the standard safety vest, designed for those who require both visibility and practicality throughout their working day. Moving beyond simple high-visibility protection, this garment serves as a portable tool kit, offering a range of specialised pockets to keep your essential equipment organised and accessible. Whether you are managing a site or directing logistics, this waistcoat ensures you remain visible while keeping your hands free for the task at hand.
Key Features
- Certified Safety Compliance: The Yellow, Orange, and Yellow/Orange variants conform to EN ISO20471:2013 Class 2, while two-tone options meet Class 1 standards, ensuring you are legally compliant and visible in high-risk environments.
- Secure Zipper Fastening: Unlike hook-and-loop alternatives that can wear out or catch on other clothing, the full-length front zipper provides a more secure and durable fit.
- Dedicated Mobile and Radio Storage: A specific pocket on the front left chest is designed to hold mobile phones or walkie-talkies securely, ensuring communication devices are always within reach.
- Integrated ID Holder: The transparent ID pocket on the right chest allows for easy identification on restricted sites without the need for clips or lanyards.
- Multi-Access Bottom Pockets: Two large bottom pockets feature flaps and are accessible from both the top and the side, providing versatile storage for larger items.
- Utility Slots: Built-in pen pockets and a dedicated key holder mean you will never have to hunt for your stationery or vehicle keys again.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this waistcoat uses a lightweight fabric that is breathable enough to be worn comfortably over existing clothing or uniforms without adding unnecessary bulk. The design incorporates 5cm wide reflective tapes that wrap around the body and over each shoulder, ensuring maximum light return from all angles. The reinforced stitching on the pockets and zipper ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily professional use, while the wide range of 26 colours allows for easy alignment with your corporate branding or specific site roles.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This waistcoat is an ideal canvas for corporate branding. The large area on the reverse is specifically designed for high-impact decoration. For a professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for smaller chest-level logos or staff names, providing a durable and high-quality finish. If you require large, bold company logos on the back, our print services are the superior choice, ensuring your brand is legible from a distance. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for site managers, security personnel, warehouse supervisors, and event staff. It is particularly useful for individuals who need to carry multiple items—such as pens, IDs, and radios—while remaining compliant with health and safety regulations on-site or in transit environments.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this waistcoat ranges from S to 5XL. Given that these are often worn over sweatshirts or jackets, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. If you are frequently working in colder conditions, consider sizing up to accommodate thicker layers beneath the waistcoat.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the integrity of the reflective tapes, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the polyester fibres and degrade the reflective material over time.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will strip the high-visibility dyes from the fabric, rendering the garment non-compliant with safety standards. This waistcoat should not be ironed; the heat from an iron can melt the synthetic fabric and the reflective strips.
Do not tumble dry or dry clean this garment. Natural air drying is the best method to preserve the shape and the adhesive bond of the reflective tapes. Please note that this product has a maximum lifecycle of 25 wash cycles to ensure it continues to meet the necessary safety certifications.
