Hi-Vis Salopettes

Hi-Vis Salopettes are specialist high-visibility trousers with a high waist, attached bib and shoulder straps, helping workers stay visible, warm and dry in hazardous conditions.

Hi-Vis Salopettes for Every Work Environment

Different work settings require specific safety features and protection levels.

Construction & Building Sites

Choose durable Hi-Vis Salopettes with reinforced panels around the knees and ankles to help prevent premature tearing. Durable fabrics are key on construction jobs, where garments must withstand abrasion, punctures and daily wear.

Look for practical features such as kneepad pockets, thigh pockets, adjustable straps and ergonomic fit. High-quality reflective strips are essential for visibility around vehicles and heavy machinery, especially in low light conditions.

Road Work & Traffic Management

For working roadside or managing traffic, Hi-Vis Salopettes provide superior lower-body protection and enhanced visibility in demanding work environments. Orange and yellow colour options help keep the user visible in changing light and poor weather.

Waterproof salopettes with reflective striping, sealed seams and quick-release fastenings, such as high-visibility orange waterproof salopettes, are ideal for roadside work. A hydrostatic head rating of 10,000 mm or above is ideal for keeping users dry in heavy, persistent rain.

Rail & Transportation Industry

Railways, transportation, roadside assistance, offshore sectors and cold storage environments all use Hi-Vis Salopettes where visibility and protection are paramount. Rail-approved styles often require GO/RT orange colourways and correct reflective tape placement.

For electrical or high-risk environments, flame-resistant, anti static and arc-rated salopettes, including arc-rated waterproof salopettes, may be required. These garments help protect against heat exposure, electrical arc risk and demanding site conditions without compromising practical functionality.

Choose the Right Hi-Vis Salopettes for Your Protection Needs

The right safety features ensure optimal protection for your specific work hazards.

For Maximum Weather Protection

Waterproof Hi-Vis Salopettes extend up the chest and back to offer superior protection against harsh weather, wind and debris while ensuring visibility to operators of vehicles and heavy machinery.

Choose waterproof salopettes with sealed seams, wind-resistant outer shells and breathable membranes, for example high-visibility yellow waterproof salopettes. Waterproof ratings such as EN 343 measure water penetration and breathability, with a Class 4:4 rating recommended for maximum heavy-rain defense.

For Arc Flash & Flame Resistance

FR-rated Hi-Vis Salopettes are suited to jobs where flame, heat or electrical hazards are present. Where required, garments should support NFPA 70E requirements and clearly display cal/cm² ratings for hazard assessment compliance.

Multi-hazard bib and brace workwear can combine hi vis visibility, flame resistance and lightweight comfort, helping workers stay protected while maintaining mobility during active tasks.

For Enhanced Mobility & Comfort

Look for ergonomic designs in Hi-Vis Salopettes that provide comfort and functionality, allowing ease of movement during work. Stretch panels, articulated knees and a well-shaped bib brace design reduce restriction when walking, bending or kneeling.

The ergonomic design of hi-vis salopettes not only enhances comfort but also contributes to safety by allowing ease of movement, which is essential in active work settings.

For Multi-Hazard Environments

In tougher work environments, choose Hi-Vis Salopettes with combined chemical, flame, anti static and waterproof protection. Tear-resistant fabrics help garments withstand harsh industrial use.

Adjustable braces and ankle openings enhance the practicality of hi-vis salopettes for wear over bulky footwear and under heavy loads. Easy-clean surfaces also support hygiene-critical jobs where garments need regular maintenance.

Advanced Materials & Technologies

Premium fabrics deliver long-lasting protection and professional performance.

Waterproof & Breathable Fabrics

Gore-Tex and similar membrane technologies help prevent water ingress while maintaining breathability. Breathable, high-performance membranes are important for preventing sweat build-up during strenuous outdoor work.

A waterproof bib and brace with durable water repellent treatment, sealed seams and high breathability helps customers stay protected from the elements throughout the working day.

Flame Resistant Materials

Flame-resistant Hi-Vis Salopettes may use inherently flame-resistant fibres, treated cotton blends, modacrylic or aramid fibre constructions. These materials are designed to maintain protection through washing cycles where the manufacturer’s care note is followed.

Self-extinguishing properties help prevent ignition spread, making FR salopettes a practical choice for high-risk jobs where safety and durability cannot be a compromise.

High-Performance Synthetic Blends

A high fabric density, such as 300 Denier polyester, is essential for resisting tears, abrasions and punctures in rugged environments. Ripstop polyester, nylon reinforcements and polyester-cotton blends balance durability with comfort.

The weight of hi-vis fabrics is measured in GSM, with 200–240 GSM suitable for light work and 280 GSM and above for heavy-duty environments. Colorfast materials help maintain hi-vis properties after repeated washing.

How to Select Hi-Vis Salopettes

Proper selection ensures compliance and optimal protection for your specific applications.

Safety Standard Requirements

EN ISO 20471 Certification ensures that high-visibility clothing meets international safety standards, with Class 2 or Class 3 typically required in high-risk work environments. EN ISO 20471 Class 1 and Class 2 visibility requirements should be matched to the risk level of the job.

High-quality reflective strips are a key feature of Hi-Vis Salopettes, ensuring that wearers are visible in various lighting conditions, which is crucial for safety in construction and roadwork environments. Reflective tape specifications, placement and garment class should always be checked before purchase.

Sizing & Fit Considerations

Select Hi-Vis Salopettes using chest, waist and leg measurements, and note whether the garment needs to fit over layers. Options from small through XL and larger sizes may vary by brand, so always check the sizing chart before adding the quantity to your basket.

A good fit keeps reflective garments visible and comfortable. Adjustable braces, ankle openings and ergonomic construction help ensure the bib and brace workwear performs properly without covering key reflective areas.
