Hi Vis Safety
Staying visible is an important part of staying safe in higher risk workplaces and an important part of doing this is by wearing hi vis clothing.
Our range of hi vis safety wear includes jackets, trousers, shirts and tabard vests to help you stay visible in dark, damp or foggy conditions. With plenty of options that are designed to meet UK safety standards, with fast UK delivery and competitive prices, our hi vis workwear will keep you safe and comfortable while you work.
Hi Vis Work Jacket
For protection against cold, wet or windy conditions, our Regatta TT Hi Vis Parka Jacket makes a great choice. Fleece-lined and insulated, this coat is comfortable enough for all-day wear (and durable enough for it too).
Waterproof and breathable, this coat’s seams are taped for ultimate wind resistance. Adjustable cuffs and a shockcord hem seal in warmth, while three zipped pockets offer plenty of secure storage.
It also conforms to European Safety standards, making it suitable for wear on any construction site.
Hi Vis Polo Shirts
When a standard crew neck tee is too informal, our hi vis polo shirts are a smarter alternative.
Lightweight polyester fabric and reinforced stitching keep them durable, while comfort features like side seam vents, breathable fabric and well placed reflective strips keep them wearable, even on the longest, hardest working days.
Lightweight Hi Vis Trousers
If you want the safety and durability of hi vis work trousers without bulky designs or stiff material, our lightweight hi vis trousers are the solution.
Designed with easy movement and all-day comfort in mind, they keep you visible (and safe) without compromising mobility or creating friction on your skin.
If the bulk of traditional hi vis trousers restrict your work, these lightweight options are flexible and comfortable instead.
Hi Vis T-Shirts
As important as it is to stay safe, on hot days the idea of wearing extra hi vis layers can be too much. Our hi vis t-shirts take the heat off your back, by reducing your wear to one layer that keeps you cool AND meets health and safety standards.
Made from breathable fabric and with a lighter feel than other hi vis wear, they are a high comfort option even on high stress days.

Black hi vis clothing does not meet the standards set out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to keep you safe in hazardous working environments. This means that if you are legally required to wear hi vis, then black isn’t suitable. Our range of yellow and orange hi vis clothing complies with European Safety standards, making it a much better choice. For more information, read our post on hi vis workwear regulations.
When working on railways or roads it is usually necessary to wear orange hi vis. This helps you stand out better against any yellow or green shades already in the environment. In most other situations, yellow is sufficient and is considered the standard workwear for construction sites and warehouses.
At Alex Direct, we offer low cost hi vis vests that still meet UK safety standards. These lightweight, high-visibility vests are ideal for warehouse workers, site visitors, and event staff.
The main difference between our hi vis polo shirts and standard t-shirts is their design. The higher collar and more structured shape of polo neck designs give them a slightly more formal look. They’re a great option for workplaces where the workers are representing a company and need to look smarter. Crew neck t-shirts have a more relaxed fit. This can make them a more comfortable option for some workers.
Hi vis workwear performs a vital role in keeping you safe - and whenever that performance is reduced, you need to replace it. However, there is not a period after which you have to replace this type of clothing. After 25 or more washes, the reflective panels on hi vis clothing start to lose their effectiveness. When this happens, they will need replacing because they won’t comply with safety standards anymore.
