What is Hi Vis Clothing

High visibility clothing, also called Hi Vis, refers to clothing that improves the user's visibility in their particular environment. Typically worn by workers who require increased visibility for their personal safety, such as those working near moving vehicles or in low-lighting conditions, Hi Vis clothing helps its wearers avoid accidents on the job. Hi Vis gear usually comes in fluorescent orange, lime, or yellow coloring and often includes retroreflective stripes for additional visibility. While jackets and vests are the most common types of Hi Vis clothing, HiViS Supply also offers pants, rainwear, headwear, gloves, and other must-have items for all seasons. 

  Protective Yourself with Hi Vis Clothing

It is essential to know what protective clothing options are available. HiVis Supply offers an array of gear options that meet the latest industry standards. When choosing your Hi Vis wear, focus on the four main parts of the body that require the most protection: head, torso, hands and legs. 

  Head and Face Protection

Hi VIS clothing may include helmets or headgear with reflective strips, ensuring visibility while shielding the head from impacts, and some designs feature face covers or high-visibility hoods for additional protection in low-light conditions.

  Torso Protection

Hi VIS vests, jackets, or shirts for the torso are made with bright fluorescent materials (like orange or yellow) and reflective tapes, enhancing visibility and often incorporating durable fabrics to resist abrasion or minor impacts.

  Hand Protection

Hi VIS gloves combine visibility through reflective elements or bright colors with functional protection, such as cut-resistant materials or thermal insulation, to safeguard hands while keeping them noticeable in work environments.

  Leg Protection

Hi VIS pants or leg coverings use reflective strips on fluorescent fabrics, ensuring legs are visible from a distance, and may include reinforced knees or abrasion-resistant panels for added durability during tasks.
