This hi-vis tool vest is a craftsman’s waistcoat for tradespeople who carry tools on the job and need to stay visible. It combines a full pocket system with high-visibility fabric and wide reflective tape.
Heavy mesh on the front, shoulders and back keeps the vest light and lets air through. Double zips at the front let you adjust the width, so it sits comfortably over lighter or heavier layers.
