FAQs
What’s the difference between day, night, and day/night hi-vis?
Day hi-vis uses bright fluorescent colours like orange or yellow for visibility in daylight. Night hi-vis adds reflective tape for visibility under artificial light or headlights. Day/night hi-vis combines both to keep you visible in all conditions, which is often required on worksites with changing light levels.
Do I need hi-vis gear that complies with Australian Standards?
If you’re working on regulated sites or in roles like construction, rail, traffic management, or mining—yes. Look for garments certified to AS/NZS 4602.1:2011. These standards set minimum requirements for visibility, tape placement, and garment design to ensure you’re compliant and safe on site.
Can I wear a hi-vis shirt without reflective tape?
You can wear plain fluorescent garments for daytime visibility only. However, many sites require reflective taping for safety. Always check with your site supervisor or safety coordinator. If in doubt, go for a day/night option to cover all bases.
How should I wash hi-vis clothing?
How should I wash hi-vis clothing?
Follow the care label carefully. Use cold or warm water, avoid bleach or harsh detergents, and air dry where possible. Excessive heat or aggressive washing can damage reflective tape and reduce the life of the garment. Washing inside out can also help preserve colour and tape.
Is taped hi-vis more compliant than non-taped gear?
Taped garments are required for night or day/night compliance. Reflective tape placement is specified in AS/NZS standards to ensure visibility from all angles. Non-taped gear is suitable for daytime only and may not meet site rules.
Do you stock both men’s and women’s hi-vis clothing?
Yes, we stock hi-vis gear tailored for both men and women. Women’s designs are cut for a better fit and improved comfort, while still meeting all the same safety and durability standards as the men’s gear.
What’s the best material for hi-vis gear in hot weather?
Lightweight cotton or poly-cotton blends with moisture-wicking properties are ideal for hot conditions. Look for vented styles or mesh panels for added breathability, especially if you’re working outdoors all day.
