Custom High-Visibility Jackets Built for Safety, Comfort and Everyday Performance

Hi-vis jackets are a core part of protective workwear across the UK, helping teams stay visible, safe and compliant in high-risk environments. Our collection brings together durable construction, dependable weather protection and personalised branding to ensure your workforce remains clearly identifiable while working outdoors, in low-light areas or around moving vehicles. Whether your team is based in construction, logistics, rail, utilities, warehousing or public-facing roles, each jacket is engineered to meet modern visibility standards and withstand demanding conditions.

We supply a broad selection of styles, from insulated winter coats to lightweight softshells, allowing organisations to tailor their workwear to the season, job role and environment. This includes options specifically designed for both men and women to ensure a comfortable, professional fit for all team members.

Certified High-Visibility Protection

Every jacket in our range meets EN ISO 20471 standards, ensuring the legally required levels of reflectivity and fluorescent visibility in both day and night environments. This certification is essential for roles that require high-visibility clothing across all industries. 

Our collection includes jackets suitable for heavy-duty working conditions, with reinforced fabrics and robust trims for long-term reliability in challenging environments. For teams in physically demanding sectors, jackets within our heavy-duty construction category offer added durability and protection.

Workwear Jackets for All Conditions

Different industries face different weather challenges, and our hi-vis jackets are designed to meet them all. For colder months or exposed sites, our padded hi-vis jackets use thermal insulation to keep staff warm. For wet and windy conditions, our waterproof hi-vis jackets provide dependable protection, combining weather-resistant materials with sealed seams to keep you dry.

In more active roles, lightweight and breathable options such as hi-vis softshell jackets support freedom of movement and temperature control. For transitional seasons or layered workwear systems, our hi-vis bodywarmers offer flexibility without compromising visibility.

Finally, for teams seeking a modern, professional appearance, two-tone styles are available throughout the range, including our two-tone hi-vis jackets and matching outerwear options. These garments blend enhanced contrast with certified visibility to deliver a clean, contemporary look.

Branding Options for Professional Identity

Branding plays a key role in creating a unified workforce image. Every jacket can be customised with your company logo using our in-house techniques:

• Screen printing – crisp, bold logo application
• DTF printing – high-detail, full-colour transfers
• Embroidery – premium stitching for a durable, professional finish

Our branding specialists ensure your custom hi-vis jackets remain compliant while showcasing your organisation professionally. For larger teams, our curated collection of branded hi-vis clothing helps businesses maintain a consistent identity across multiple garments.

Colours, Fits and Industry-Specific Styles

Alongside the familiar fluorescent yellows, our range also includes practical and corporate-friendly colour options such as navy contrast hi-vis jackets and bold hi-vis orange jackets. These alternative colourways help teams maintain a cleaner, more professional look by incorporating darker contrast panels designed to reduce visible marking and general wear.

With a choice of fits, materials and weights, it’s easy to select jackets that balance comfort and performance. From lightweight styles that support active movement to insulated options for colder conditions, each design helps staff stay comfortable throughout long shifts.

How to Choose the Right Hi-Vis Jacket

Choosing the right hi-vis jacket can seem confusing, especially with the wide range of options available. How do you know which one is best suited to your needs?

By considering a few key factors, you can make an informed decision and ensure your safety on the job site. Here are some tips to help you choose the right hi-vis jacket:

1. Consider the work environment: Different work environments require different types of hi-vis jackets. For example, if you work in cold environments, a winter jacket just won’t cut it. You need a hi-vis jacket with insulation and a waterproof design. On the other hand, if you work in a warmer environment, a lightweight and breathable hi-vis jacket may be more suitable.
2. Think about the level of visibility required: The level of visibility required will depend on the specific job and work environment. For example, if you work on a construction site, hi-vis work jackets with high-visibility strips and reflective materials ensure maximum visibility.
3. Check the material and construction: The material and construction of the hi-vis jacket should be considered. Look for jackets made from durable and breathable materials with sealed seams that can withstand harsh weather conditions. Also, check the seams and stitching to ensure they are secure and won’t come apart easily.
4. Consider the style and fit: Hi-vis jackets come in different styles, so if you’re looking to be trendy while you’re being safe, then an Essential Workwear hi-vis jacket is perfect for you. Plus, our jackets are available in various sizes for women and men alike, ensuring everyone is properly covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your hi-vis jackets compliant with UK regulations?

Yes. Every jacket in our range is fully certified to EN ISO 20471, the recognised UK and European standard for high-visibility clothing. This ensures that the fluorescent fabric, reflective tape, and overall garment construction meet strict visibility performance standards in daylight, dusk, and low-light conditions. All compliant jackets also carry the required UKCA/CE markings, giving employers confidence that their team is wearing the correct protective clothing for regulated environments.

Can I add my company logo to any hi-vis jacket?

Yes. All jackets in our collection can be branded with your company logo using embroidery, screen printing or DTF printing. Each method offers different benefits depending on the fabric, required durability and weather exposure. For example, embroidery gives a premium, long-lasting finish on softshell and padded styles, while printing is ideal for waterproof jackets to preserve the membrane. Our in-house branding team will review your logo, placement and chosen garment to recommend the most effective approach for strong visibility, durability and compliance. You’ll also receive a proof before production so you can approve the final design with confidence.

Which hi-vis jacket is best for winter?

For colder weather, we generally recommend our insulated and padded hi-vis jackets, which are designed to retain warmth without limiting movement. These jackets combine thermal linings, wind-resistant fabrics and certified high-visibility elements, making them suitable for long shifts outdoors or in temperature-controlled environments. Teams working in exposed locations may benefit from styles with storm flaps, extended backs and adjustable hoods for additional protection. If you’re unsure which weight or insulation level is best for your team, our experts can match jackets to your working temperatures and activity levels.

Do you offer waterproof hi-vis jackets?

Yes. Our collection includes a wide range of waterproof hi-vis jackets designed for wet, windy and unpredictable weather. These jackets typically feature waterproof membranes, taped seams, storm guards and durable water repellent finishes to keep staff dry for extended periods. Waterproof hi-vis jackets are ideal for outdoor trades like transport and utilities. For branded versions, printed logos are recommended to maintain the garment’s waterproof integrity. If your team works in especially harsh weather, we can help you identify the most robust options.

Are hi-vis jackets available in women’s fits?

Yes. We offer a dedicated selection of hi-vis jackets designed specifically for women, ensuring a comfortable and practical fit without compromising safety. These jackets take into account typical female proportions, allowing for better mobility, improved comfort and professional appearance. This is especially important for teams that require layering or work long shifts in varied conditions. Many women’s styles mirror the features available in the men’s range, including waterproofing, softshell materials, insulation and two-tone options.

Can I order a sample before finalising a larger order?

Yes. You can order plain samples to review the fit, fabric quality and overall look before placing a full customised order. This is particularly useful when choosing between different jacket styles, insulation levels or branding options. Once you place your final order, our team will also provide a visual proof showing logo placement and sizing, giving you complete confidence before production begins. Samples help ensure consistency across your workforce and reduce the likelihood of ordering incorrect sizing in bulk.

What is the typical delivery time for customised jackets?

Customised hi-vis jackets usually take around 7–10 working days from approval of your artwork, depending on stock levels and the level of branding required. Bulk orders or complex designs may take slightly longer, but our team will always confirm an estimated delivery date before production begins. If you’re working to a tight deadline or require faster dispatch, we encourage you to get in touch. Where possible, we’ll prioritise urgent orders or offer suitable alternatives that meet your timings.
