high visibility

Hard to miss

High visibility describes clothing or materials designed to make the wearer conspicuous, typically featuring bright fluorescent colors and reflective strips: high-visibility vests, high-visibility jackets.

Construction workers, cyclists, and emergency responders wear high-visibility gear to be seen in traffic or low-light conditions.

Often shortened to hi-vis or high-vis.
