- PRACTICAL and FUNCTIONAL: Made from soft yet durable polyester fabric with black edge trim that hides dirt, the vest is lightweight and comfortable for unrestricted movement - ideal when you're constantly on the go. It features a hook and loop closure for easy putting on and removal
- ENHANCED VISIBILITY: 2 bands and 2 braces of retro-reflective tape ensure you are seen from distance in daylight, low light and dark conditions. Note that all-green garments (no matter which brand) cannot achieve sufficient fluorescence so this colour is not formally certified as hi-vis based on EN/UKCA standards

Cons
