Stopping your employees from removing their hi vis clothing when they get hot at work can be a struggle during the summer months.
When it comes to summer workwear, no one wants to wear more layers than they have to – especially when they are working in very active roles, such as in the likes of logistics and warehousing.
Adding a traditional hi vis vest over even the lightest weight clothing can be enough to make you sweat when the weather is hot, so it isn’t surprising that people are tempted to take them off after a while and tie them around their waists, or discard them altogether.
But hi vis clothing can only protect the wearer if it is worn correctly, with its fluorescent and retro-reflective surfaces clearly visible.
Fortunately, there is a solution.
At iSB Group, we have partnered with Leo Workwear, specialist in the design and manufacture of hi vis clothing, to offer its Coolviz range of hi vis workwear designed for those working in warm environments.
Made from lightweight polyester mesh with moisture-wicking properties, Coolviz hi vis t shirts and vests capture sweat and pull it to the surface of the fabric so it can evaporate, leaving the wearer dry and comfortable.
Unlike other PPE suppliers who typically only offer unisex products, Leo Workwear is leading the way in providing inclusive PPE, starting to build separate ranges for men and women, as well as maternity wear and options for those wishing to adopt modesty dress at work.
Some of the highlights of the Coolviz range include:
