Anyone who has walked thirty five-year-olds to a library knows the two questions that matter: can drivers see us, and are we all still here? A set of bright vests answers both, which is why they have become standard kit for school trips, nursery walks, walking buses and club outings.
Vest or tabard
A vest, or waistcoat, fastens at the front and stays put, and suits children old enough to do it up themselves. A tabard goes over the head and fastens at the sides, so it fits over a winter coat and can be put on a wriggling three-year-old in seconds. Nurseries tend to choose tabards and primary schools vests.
Which colour
Fluorescent yellow and orange are the colours made to be seen by traffic. The other bright colours on offer do a different job: they tell groups apart. Give each class, house or coach its own colour and a headcount takes seconds. If your risk assessment calls for a garment certified to a hi-vis standard, check the product page for the standard before you choose a colour.
What we carry
The children's range comes from Yoko, Result and ProRTX: the Yoko kids' two-band waistcoat, the Yoko kids' tabard, a Yoko waistcoat with a reflective border, the ProRTX kids' waistcoat and the Result Core junior vest.
A class set of thirty
The Kids' Hi-Vis Vest Pack is thirty Result Core junior vests on one line, in fluorescent yellow, fluorescent orange, lime, pink, sky blue, royal, red, navy or burgundy, with your logo printed on every vest at no extra charge. One pack is one colour and one size, so a school wanting two sizes adds two packs.
Printing the name
On single vests, the school, nursery or club name is printed in our own print room in Lowestoft at £3.95 a garment, and the product page shows it on the vest before you order. Keep it to the name. A short word in large letters is read from across a road; a crest with a motto is not.
Ordering for a school
Schools and academy trusts can order on a purchase order. Baskets over £100 get 10% off automatically, and UK delivery is £6 and free over £300.
