What Industries Can Use a Hi-Vis Sweatshirt?
Due to its increased visibility and fleece polyester fabric, the Supertouch Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is well-placed in cooler environments but is not limited to night-time hours. The Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is optimally used for a wide range of professions, including:
- Railway Workers
- Traffic Guard
- Security

The orange hi-vis as opposed to the yellow hi-vis PPE is associated with hazard and warning signals, often prompting quicker recognition which can make it a safer option in potentially dangerous environments.
Durable and Long-Lasting Wear
Designed for durability and comfort in mind, the Supertouch Hi-Vis Sweatshirt can uphold its reflective quality for up to twenty five washes with no reduction in visibility. Wash it on a 40°C wash and refrain from tumble drying to get the optimal, long-lasting result from this product.
Can This Be Worn in Cooler Temperatures?
This versatile and adaptable Supertouch Sweatshirt hits the mark by providing contrasting benefits, allowing you to wear it in varying temperatures and climates. Its luminosity makes it well-placed in both high and low-light levels, whilst its poly rich fabric keeps you warm in cooler temperatures.
Pair the Supertouch Crew Neck Sweatshirt with the Supertouch Bird Eye Hi-Vis T-Shirt or Supertouch Bird Eye Hi-Vis Polo Shirt to reap the endless benefits of the Supertouch range. With two layers, you're covered in all weather conditions, keeping you comfortable all year round.
Complete Your Supertouch Hi-Vis Workwear Uniform
Pair this sweatshirt with the Supertouch Hi-Vis Jogging Bottoms (Orange) for consistency in your workwear and the ease of uniformity. Wash your uniform collectively to keep track of the luminosity of your reflective panels, without risking your visibility from over washing alternate items.
Why Should I Choose Orange for High Visibility?
Orange is commonly used for high-visibility workwear as it is high on the chromaticity scale. Orange's high luminance makes it easily detected and visible from a distance in both low and daylight conditions. It stands out starkly in natural backgrounds like greenery, blue skies, and grey pavement.
Why Do I Need to Wear Orange Hi-Vis as a UK Railway Worker?
Orange hi-vis workwear maintains warning or hazard connotations, as opposed to simple high visibility. Based on the European standard EN ISO 20471, orange hi-vis is legally required for those working on or near a railway in order to clearly distinguish between workers and traffic lights. If you are purchasing a sweatshirt especially for railway work, then this orange Supertouch Hi-Vis Bodywarmer would be a legally conforming option.
Is Orange Hi-Vis the Preferred Choice In Other Industries?
Both orange and yellow hi-vis workwear are accepted forms of high visibility apparel across various industries. Other industries have opted for orange hi-vis due to its unmistakable colour in natural backgrounds, as well as being deemed less attractive to insects.
Why Choose Supertouch for Your Workwear?
Never failing to deliver on quality has afforded Supertouch its leading position as a multi-category supplier of workwear. The brand aligns all its products to comply with appropriate standards and regulatory requirements, whilst also providing cost-effect safety solutions, putting Supertouch in the prime position for providing workwear that is made to last.
