visibility vest

High-contrast workwear

A visibility vest is a bright-colored garment, typically fluorescent yellow or orange with reflective strips, worn to make the wearer conspicuous to drivers and equipment operators.

Construction workers, crossing guards, cyclists, and emergency responders wear them in situations where being seen prevents accidents: Everyone on the job site has to wear a visibility vest.

Also called a safety vest or high-visibility vest.
