Why is high visibility clothing more than just clothing?
Every day, thousands of people step out of their homes to undertake their duties. Whether you’re a construction worker, a cyclist or simply a pedestrian returning from work, your safety should be a priority. And one of the simplest, yet most effective ways to increase your visibility and protect yourself from accidents is to wear high-visibility clothing, such as reflective workwear.
Why does visibility matter?
Imagine you are driving on the road on a cloudy autumn evening. The lights of the cars reflect off the puddles and the fog reduces visibility. Will a driver coming from the opposite direction be able to see you? Without reflectors, you are only visible from 150 metres away. This is not much time for a driver to react. By contrast, a person wearing reflective clothing can be seen from a distance of 450 metres. These extra metres can make the difference between having an accident or not.
Reflective workwear – more than just the norm. Comfort and safety in one
The EN 20471 standard precisely defines the requirements for warning clothing.According to it, the garments should be made of highly reflective materials and the reflective elements must be positioned in an appropriate way. This ensures that the health and safety reflective clothing you buy meets the highest safety standards.Reflective clothing is not just about meeting standards.It is also about comfort and convenience.Today’s models are not only functional, but also fashionable and available in a variety of cuts and colours.You can find both specialised jackets or sweatshirts for construction workers and stylish reflective waistcoats for cyclists.PW Krystian offers just such models – fashionable, comfortable and highly functional, such as a knitted sweatshirt or a softshell with a heating function that combines comfort and style.
What is particularly important when choosing reflective clothing?
When choosing high-visibility clothing, it is worth paying attention to several factors:
Material: It should be durable, dirt-resistant and provide adequate ventilation.
Reflective elements: Depending on the need, we can use class 1, 2 or 3 reflective protective clothing. Reflective stripes should be placed in the most sensitive areas, i.e. on the shoulders, torso and legs.
Size: Garments should fit snugly, not restrict movement and allow full freedom of movement.
Additional features:Some models have extra pockets, ventilation elements or waterproof membranes.
Visibility for everyone
Although reflective clothing is particularly important for those working in high-risk areas, e.g. construction sites, roads, everyone can benefit from it. Cyclists, joggers, walkers – we should all take care of our visibility, especially in reduced visibility conditions.
