Reflective clothing to increase workforce safety

We offer a variety of hi vis workwear, including hi vis jackets, vests, t-shirts, trousers & overalls. If your job requires you to wear reflective clothing, or if you're a manager or employer and you need to kit out your team with hi vis garments, we can help. 

Our hi vis clothing is designed to be comfortable to wear, easy to care for and durable. Manufactured to be able to withstand repeated industrial laundering, meaning you don't need to worry about wear and tear.

All of our hi vis garments have heavy duty reflective strips to improve visibility. Many of our items also feature touches like knitted storm cuffs, two-way zips, taped seams and multiple pockets. There's nothing worse than wearing badly fitting, uncomfortable or impractical workwear, so at Alsico, we endeavour to keep all our clients both safe and comfortable at all times.

We have lightweight hi vis vests and waistcoats, ideal for slipping on over regular clothes for site visits or wearing in warmer weather, and a variety of warmer and more heavy-duty items.

All of our reflective clothing is available in a variety of fits and sizes, enabling you to find your perfect match, or to offer a range of sizes to suit everyone in your team. Many of our hi vis items go up to size 6XL, and some of our items are available in a choice of different fits. Find out more using our size guide.
