High-visibility apparel is designed to wrap around the body and typically features reflective material stripes on a contrasting background. Bright colors are essential for high-visibility garments, with yellow-green, orange, and red in bright or fluorescent shades being the most effective in various situations and conditions. Regardless of your color choice, your high-visibility clothing should be visible from at least 1,000 feet away.

Proper care for your high-visibility safety clothing is crucial to prevent it from getting dirty or contaminated. This not only prolongs the life of the garments but also ensures the wearer remains safe and visible.

In industries such as construction and oil and gas, where much work occurs outdoors, it's important to choose high-visibility safety rainwear that keeps you visible while also keeping you dry during wet seasons like fall and winter. Waterproof or water-resistant safety gear will enhance comfort during long shifts. 

In colder months, opt for thicker and insulated hi-vis clothing to stay warm. For summer or hot weather work, choose breathable and lightweight clothing. However, if you’ll be working in extreme heat or near flames, hi-vis equipment and workwear with flame-resistant (FR) properties may be necessary.
