A Practical Vest for Motorists

The R211A is designed around a simple but important requirement: being visible when you need to leave your vehicle.

A high-visibility vest can be kept in a vehicle and quickly put on over normal clothing in the event of a breakdown or roadside emergency. Its generous fit makes it practical to wear over a jacket, jumper or other everyday clothing.

The simple tear-release fastening also means there is no complicated zip or button system to deal with when the vest needs to be put on quickly.

High Visibility with 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material

The R211A incorporates 50mm sewn-on safety tapes featuring 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective materials. These reflective elements are designed to help improve visibility when illuminated by vehicle headlights or other light sources.

The vest should be worn fully fastened and kept clean to help maintain its intended effectiveness.

Custom Branding

The R211A can be professionally customised with your company branding using embroidery, transfer print or direct print.

For businesses supplying safety vests to employees, drivers or company vehicles, adding your logo can provide a simple way to maintain a consistent and professional company identity.

At ColorCoded Workwear, your artwork is checked before production to ensure it is suitable for the chosen decoration method and placement.

Embroidery or Print?

Embroidery provides a durable, professional finish and is particularly suited to smaller company logos.

Print can be a better option for larger branding, detailed artwork or designs requiring a lightweight finish.

If you're unsure which method is best for your logo, our team can advise before production.
