Overview
A one-piece coverall with a fluorescent upper body and navy legs. It solves the gap problem that two-piece workwear has — no exposed waist when reaching or kneeling — and it gives a single fluorescent surface across the chest and shoulders with banding around the chest and each lower leg.
Construction
- Fluorescent yellow-green upper body, navy legs
- Reflective band around the chest and around each lower leg
- Stand collar and full-length front zip
- Two flapped chest pockets
Why the legs are navy
Coveralls get dirty from the ground up. Putting the fluorescent where it is looked at — chest and shoulders — and the navy where it is not keeps the garment readable for longer, because a fluorescent leg scuffed grey at the knee loses contrast exactly where it was supposed to help.
Typical use
Dirty and dusty site work, plant operation, maintenance and workshop roles, and any task where a two-piece garment leaves the waist exposed.
One piece removes the waist gap two-piece workwear leaves
Reaching up, kneeling or crawling opens a gap between a jacket and a trouser, and that gap sits at the waist, which is exactly the part of a stooped figure facing a driver. A coverall has no gap to open. The fluorescent is kept on the chest and shoulders where the eye goes, and the legs are navy because they are what gets dirty: a fluorescent leg in site work stops being fluorescent long before it stops being worn.
What to confirm before ordering
- Class or type you are buying to: EN ISO 20471 class 1, 2 or 3, or an ANSI/ISEA 107 type. The same garment cannot be every class, so the class has to be stated before the banding is fixed.
- The layer it goes over: Class areas are measured on the garment, not on the outfit. A jacket worn over a fleece has to fit over the fleece, which may mean a larger size rather than less banding.
- Whether waterproofing or flame retardancy is also required: Those are separate standards with separate tests. A high-visibility claim says nothing about either.
- Band width and layout, if your buyer's spec fixes them: Two suppliers can both meet a class with different layouts, so a fixed layout is a spec item and not a detail.
- Whether trims, logos and pockets may reduce the fluorescent area: Some specs prohibit it. Pockets and logos are subtracted from the area that counts.
Compliance note
A high-visibility garment is assessed as a garment, not as a fabric. Band width, band count, fluorescent area and the way they are laid out are all measured on the finished article, and the class belongs to that article. What can be stated here is the standard the build is designed against and how the banding is arranged; what cannot be stated on a product page is that a particular batch's certificate matches your requirement. That certificate is requested per order, against the standard and class in your purchase spec, and it is the document your customer's auditor will ask for.
