These garments are specifically designed to maximize the visibility of the wearer, even in low light or reduced visibility conditions.

  • Flexibility and lightness: They are designed to be comfortable and not restrict movement, allowing the user to perform their tasks without inconvenience.

High visibility vests are the most used pieces of clothing in the field of high visibility clothing. At T2S Ibérica, you can find various models of our vests, all of them are designed with a completely breathable fabric and following the Spanish regulations for high visibility clothing.

The main difference with retroreflective vests is that they include a microspherical retroreflective tape from the RETHIOEX® brand. The main advantage of this is the guarantee of always providing unbeatable visibility whether it is day or night, guaranteeing optimal visibility both day and night.

On the other hand, it is necessary to highlight that reflective clothing must always comply with regulated safety regulations.
