Enhanced Visibility Padded PPE Vests

High visibility padded vests offer an efficient combination of safety and comfort. They are suitable for professionals who work in low-light environments, such as construction sites, industrial areas or public roads. The padding provides thermal insulation, essential in cold or humid climates, while the retro-reflective stripes ensure maximum visibility. In addition, these vests are designed to be lightweight, breathable and ergonomic, allowing freedom of movement during work. RAG Tailors offers PPE-certified models, adapted to different professional sectors, guaranteeing protection and compliance with legal requirements.

High visibility vest classes refer to EN ISO 20471 and indicate the level of reflective and fluorescent area on the vests. Class 1 vests offer minimum visibility and are suitable for locations where the risk is lower. Class 2 offers medium protection and is common in industrial environments and urban construction sites. Class 3 vests, such as the most advanced models from RAG Tailors, provide the highest level of visibility and are recommended for high risk conditions, such as night work or on roads with heavy traffic. The choice of class depends on the degree of exposure and the work environment.

Enhanced visibility padded vests feature integrated thermal layers that protect workers from the cold while maintaining high visibility in low-light conditions. Unlike standard models, which are generally lightweight and used only to increase visibility, padded models offer additional thermal protection and are ideal for prolonged use outdoors during the winter months or in areas with harsh climates. The vests available from RAG Tailors combine durable materials with thermal insulation, high-quality retro-reflective strips and fabrics in high-contrast fluorescent colors.

To ensure the durability and effectiveness of your high visibility vest, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. In general, washing at moderate temperatures (30–40°C) is recommended, without using bleach or fabric softeners that can degrade the reflective elements. The vest should be air-dried, away from direct heat sources. Avoiding excessive washing also helps maintain the reflective properties. RAG Tailors’ models include labels with clear care instructions, and are designed with durable materials to withstand intensive use in demanding professional environments.

Padded reflective vests are widely used in sectors where visibility and protection against adverse weather conditions are essential. Professionals in construction, road maintenance, logistics, transport, municipal services and public works are some of the main users. These vests significantly increase worker safety, especially on night shifts, in high-traffic areas or in low-light locations. RAG Tailors provides solutions adapted to the specific requirements of each sector, with models that strictly comply with protection and comfort standards for daily professional use.

To be considered high visibility Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), vests must comply with EN ISO 20471. This certification ensures that the vest has sufficient reflective and fluorescent elements to provide adequate visibility in different lighting conditions. Within this standard, vests are classified into classes (1, 2 and 3), depending on the level of visibility they offer. At RAG Tailors, all enhanced visibility vests are duly certified, ensuring compliance with current legal requirements and increasing the confidence of professionals who depend on this type of protection in their daily work.
