Our high visibility clothing
also know as public safety
vests, is a type of personal
protective equipment that has
high reflective properties or
color that is easily
discernible from any
background. Part of the
surface of the garment may
have retro-reflective stripes.
This way the wearer becomes
much more visible in the dark
for observers near a light
source, such as the driver of
a car with its headlights on.
In general, people who wear
high visibility vests are
those who need to be seen
during poor lighting or
weather conditions, or when
working in environments where
there is a lot of moving
machinery. Some examples
include pedestrians, construct
or road workers, cyclists,
motorcyclists, hunter, hikers
and much more. Orange colored
vests are especially great for
hunters, blaze orange makes
the hunter obvious to humans
but relies on the fact that
most large game animals, such
as deer, are dichromate, and
perceive the orange as a dull
color. Public safety vests are
vests generally worn by EMS
and or EMT rescue personnel.
They are also worn by hunters,
construction workers,
bicyclist, law enforcement
personnel, and many more.
Public safety vests generally
contain a grey reflective tape
on the top and bottom of the
vest for light to be reflected
off of it. Public safety vests
also contain an ID holder in
the center of the vest so you
can be easily identifiable.
