Hi-Vis Protective Safety Jackets PPE

High visibility protective jackets must comply with EN ISO 20471, which defines the requirements for high visibility clothing intended for professional use. This standard divides products into three classes based on the amount of fluorescent and retroreflective material used, ensuring different levels of visibility. Compliance with this standard ensures that the jacket provides adequate visibility both during the day and at night in low light conditions. At RAG Tailors, all of our certified reflective jackets meet these stringent requirements, ensuring maximum safety and performance.

The use of high-visibility PPE clothing, such as reflective jackets, is mandatory whenever workers are exposed to risks caused by reduced visibility. This requirement applies to construction sites, roads, logistics platforms, airports, night operations, among other industrial environments. Labor legislation and safety standards recommend the continued use of this type of clothing whenever there is movement of vehicles or heavy machinery. RAG Tailors offers suitable solutions for each type of risk environment, complying with the safety requirements applicable to the professional sector.

The EN ISO 20471 standard classifies high visibility clothing into 3 distinct classes, according to the minimum area of ​​fluorescent and retroreflective material present on the garment. Class 1 offers the minimum level of visibility and is suitable for areas with lower risk. Class 2 is ideal for construction, logistics and transport workers. Class 3 provides maximum visibility and is essential in high-risk environments such as motorways or industrial areas with low lighting. At RAG Tailors we offer jackets certified in several protection classes, adapting to the specific needs of each professional activity.

To ensure the durability and effectiveness of a high visibility jacket, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions. It is recommended to wash on gentle cycles, without the use of bleach, fabric softeners or abrasive products. Reflective properties can degrade over time with excessive or inadequate washing, so it is important to check the maximum number of suggested washes. Drying in the shade and avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight when wet are also good practices. RAG Tailors provides detailed care information for each product, ensuring the best performance of your reflective workwear.

For construction workers, the ideal is to use Class 2 or Class 3 high visibility jackets, especially on roadworks or in environments with rain, dust or low light. These jackets should be waterproof, breathable and have well-positioned reflective strips. Models with hoods, functional pockets and adjustable cuffs are also recommended. RAG Tailors jackets are designed to offer maximum protection, comfort and mobility, being excellent options for professionals who work in demanding situations and who require constant high visibility during work.

A high visibility jacket is considered PPE when it bears the EN ISO 20471 compliance label and the CE symbol, indicating that it has passed regulatory tests. The label must specify the class of the garment and contain washing and storage instructions. In addition, the product must be accompanied by an information leaflet with certification and recommendations for use. At RAG Tailors, we ensure complete transparency by offering certified and fully documented high visibility protective jackets, giving our customers the confidence they need to act safely in their work environment.

Yes, it is possible to personalise high visibility jackets with embroidery, printing or screen printing, without compromising their functionality as PPE. Personalisation must be done respecting the mandatory areas of reflective material, so as not to affect the visibility required by EN ISO 20471. RAG Tailors offers personalisation services upon request – simply send the references and desired logo by email. Delivery time is 10 to 15 working days for personalised orders and up to 5 working days for standard products. Personalisation is an excellent way to reinforce the company's visual identity while maintaining the necessary safety standards.
