hi-vis vest

Bright safety wear

A hi-vis vest is a sleeveless garment in bright fluorescent colors—typically yellow or orange—with reflective strips, worn to make the wearer visible in low light or high-traffic areas.

Construction workers, road crews, and cyclists wear them for safety.

Security and event staff wear them to be easily identified: Everyone in a hi-vis vest, line up by the gate.
