Hi-Vis Workwear

Stay visible and compliant with our Hi Vis Workwear range. Shirts, pants, jackets and vests in bright colours with quality reflective tape. Safety gear that meets Australian standards while keeping you comfortable all shift.

Hi-Vis Workwear for Australian Compliance and Safety

When your visibility on site is a safety requirement rather than a preference, the quality and fit of your hi-vis workwear matters from the first day you wear it. Our hi-vis workwear range covers the reflective clothing, high-vis workwear, and hi-vis clothing that Australian workers across construction, road work, mining, agriculture, and other compliance-based industries rely on - across every garment type and every member of the team.

Hi-Vis Tops: Shirts, Polos, and Tees

The most visible part of any hi-vis outfit is the top layer, and getting that right sets the tone for everything else. Our hi-vis shirts cover the traditional collared styles that remain the workwear standard on Australian sites - practical, breathable, and built for long days in the field or on the road. 

Our hi-vis polos offer a slightly more relaxed cut that suits workers who need the compliance standard without the full button-through formality. For warmer conditions and summer-heavy trades, our hi-vis singlets & t-shirts keep you compliant and cool when the temperature and the workload both climb.

Outer Hi-Vis Layers for Cold and Wet Days

Visibility compliance doesn't stop when the weather turns, and your outer hi-vis workwear needs to carry the same reflective standard as the layers beneath it. Our hi-vis jackets cover the full outer-layer need for cold and wet conditions on exposed work sites - properly made gear that keeps you warm, dry, and seen. 

Our hi-vis jumpers & hoodies sit in the mid-layer space - warmer than a shirt, less restricting than a full jacket, and well-suited to the shoulder-season days that make up a large portion of the Australian working year. Where a vest meets the compliance requirement, our hi-vis vests give you the standard with maximum arm freedom.

Hi-Vis Pants for Full-Body Compliance

Many Australian sites now require full-body hi-vis compliance, and a compliant top without a reflective lower half doesn't meet that standard. Our hi-vis pants range covers the lower body with the same durability and practicality as the rest of the range - built to work as part of a complete reflective workwear outfit. Proper hi-vis workwear in Australia starts at the feet and goes all the way up.

Reflectors and Children's Hi-Vis

Visibility safety extends beyond primary clothing. Our hi-vis reflectors provide supplemental high-visibility accessories that improve conspicuity in low-light conditions - particularly useful when additional reflective material on bags, arms, or legs makes a real difference to being seen. 

For the youngest members of the family on properties and around work sites, our children's hi-vis range keeps kids safe and visible in the environments they share with working adults - because site safety isn't just for the grown-ups.

Visit Allingtons Outpost in Parafield or call (08) 8182 1333 for advice.

Is Allingtons' hi vis workwear compliant with AS/NZS 4602.1?

Yes, Allingtons stocks hi vis workwear designed to meet Australian Standard AS/NZS 4602.1, including Day (Class D), Night (Class N), and Day/Night (Class D/N) options. Our range includes compliant shirts, polos, jackets and vests from trusted workwear brands such as Ritemate, FXD, CAT and Rainbird. Different garments have different visibility classifications, so check the product label to make sure you’re choosing the right clothing for your worksite. For more information, read our hi vis buying guide.

What is the difference between Day, Night, and Day/Night hi vis workwear?

Day (Class D) workwear uses fluorescent fabric for daylight visibility but doesn't perform well under headlights or artificial light. Night (Class N) gear uses retroreflective tape that bounces light back to its source for visibility at night. Day/Night (D/N) gear combines both. Only fluorescent yellow, orange and orange-red meet Australian daytime requirements, which is why taped pink, blue and emerald shirts like the Ritemate RM1050R in pink are rated for night wear only. Those colours are generally not accepted on worksites, so check with your supervisor. Our hi vis buying guide explains every class.

Which class of hi vis do I need for construction, roadwork, or warehouse work?

Your employer or principal contractor sets the requirement based on their risk assessment, so always check with them first. As a general guide, daytime outdoor construction work often calls for at least Class D in fluoro yellow or orange. Roadwork, traffic control and any work at night, in low light or near moving vehicles usually needs Day/Night (D/N) gear with reflective tape. Warehouses often specify D/N too, because fluoro fabric alone doesn't perform well under artificial lighting around forklifts. A taped Ritemate day/night shirt or options from FXD, CAT and Rainbird are a good place to start.

Does hi vis workwear also offer UPF sun protection?

Many styles do. Ritemate hi vis shirts and polos are UPF 50+ and state they meet the Australian sun protection standard (AS 4399). Options from FXD and Rainbird also offer UPF 50+ hi vis clothing, while selected Portwest and CAT styles are rated UPF 30. For outdoor work, a long-sleeve hi vis shirt covers more skin than a hi vis polo or hi vis tee. Check each listing for its rating, and pair your shirt with a hat and sunscreen.

How do I wash hi vis workwear to keep the reflective tape compliant?

Always follow the care label, as fabrics and tapes vary. As a general rule, close zips and Velcro, turn garments inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and wash hi vis separately from rough or heavy gear. Line dry in the shade rather than tumble drying, and don't iron over tape. No amount of care makes hi vis last forever, so replace gear when the tape cracks or peels or the fabric fades, since faded hi vis isn't effective. Regularly worn hi vis often needs replacing around every 6 months, as our hi vis buying guide explains.
