Vorel Reflective Vest Yellow is a CE-marked (PPE 2016/425) high-visibility vest that meets the EN ISO 20471:2013 + A1:2016 class 2 visibility requirements. The fluorescent yellow base material creates high contrast in daylight and low light, and the wide reflective strips ensure visibility in vehicle lights from all directions. The Velcro fastening on the front makes it quick to put on, even when wearing gloves.
The construction of the vest is designed to maintain an uninterrupted reflective profile from the front, back and sides. The materials and care instructions have been selected to maintain the reflective and fluorescent properties throughout their lifespan when washing and maintenance instructions are followed. The product is intended for situations where visibility is a key safety factor: construction sites, logistics and warehouse environments, maintenance, traffic control and emergency equipment in vehicles.
The vest meets the requirements of PPE Category II and its conformity has been verified by a Notified Body assessment (NB 0197). The model-specific EU declaration of conformity is available in the manufacturer's documentation.
