safety vest

High-visibility clothing

A safety vest is a bright, highly visible garment worn to make the wearer conspicuous, typically in fluorescent orange or yellow-green with reflective strips.

Construction workers, road crews, and crossing guards wear them to be seen by motorists.

Cyclists and runners may wear them for visibility in low light: Put on your safety vest before directing traffic.
