The Flame-Retardant Hi-Vis Waistcoat (YK016) is a simple, popular waistcoat with limited flame spread quality — it protects against occasional and brief contact with small igniting flames, such as sparks, without a significant heat hazard.
Made from 100% flame-retardant treated polyester at 120gsm, it has two band and brace reflective tapes around the body and over the shoulders, with hook and loop front fastening. Stocked in hi-vis yellow and orange, from S to 3XL.
