Excellent visibility in daylight, poor lighting and dark<br />
Demanding working environments place high requirements to the workwear and personal protective equipment. We actively<br />
follow the development of legislation, standards and new operating models in various fields. Together with our customers we<br />
are constantly developing our <strong>collection</strong>s in order to fulfil the most <strong>demanding</strong> requirements in different working environments.<br />

<strong>HighVisPro</strong> – Modern visibility and functional details<br />
Our <strong>HighVisPro</strong> workwear <strong>collection</strong> combines a modern look with ergonomic and functional details, and it is certified according<br />
to standards EN ISO 20471 and EN 342. Collection was developed in cooperation with the real end users.<br />
High visibility and good looks<br />
When working outdoors or in poorly lit places, it is important<br />
<strong>for</strong> workers to be seen in time. This helps to avoid many<br />
accidents at work.<br />
Fluorescent colour improves the wearer’s visibility in daylight,<br />
whereas the retroreflective material makes the wearer visible<br />
towards a light source, e.g. vehicle lights. When high visibility<br />
is required, the wearer must be seen from all sides (360 o ),<br />
in all lightning <strong>conditions</strong>, and both the fluorescent and<br />
retroreflective material must encircle the garment.<br />
Tested with the real users<br />
The functionality of our <strong>HighVisPro</strong> <strong>collection</strong> is tested with<br />
real end users working in <strong>conditions</strong> that require impeccable<br />
visibility and workability. Thanks to the close cooperation with<br />
our clients and the valuable feedback received from real end<br />
users, we were able to develop a highly functional and modern<br />
workwear <strong>collection</strong>.<br />
From <strong>HighVisPro</strong> <strong>collection</strong> you can find suitable products<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>conditions</strong> in which high visibility is required, also <strong>for</strong> the<br />
challenging cold environments like railway yards, airports and<br />
harbours.<br />

Standards – <strong>for</strong> your safety<br />
The <strong>HighVisPro</strong> <strong>collection</strong> comply with the standard EN ISO 20471:2013 <strong>for</strong> high-visibility clothing.<br />
<strong>HighVisPro</strong> winter <strong>collection</strong> also comply with the standard EN 342:2004 <strong>for</strong> protective clothing against cold.<br />
EN ISO 20471<br />
High-visibility clothing<br />
High visibility clothing is divided into three visibility classes<br />
(classes 1-3, where 3 provides best visibility). The class<br />
requirements can be met by a garment of clothing or<br />
an ensemble (e.g. jacket and trousers). The <strong>HighVisPro</strong><br />
garments are certified according to visibility classes 1 and 2.<br />
A combination of the jacket and trousers meets the<br />
requirements of visibility class 3.<br />
Dirt reduces the visibility. Regular care and maintenance<br />
guarantee that the protection stays in correct level during the<br />
whole lifecycle of the garment.<br />
EN 342<br />
Ensembles and garments<br />
<strong>for</strong> protection against cold<br />
Thermal insulation and protection against wind are the most<br />
important properties of clothing <strong>for</strong> protection against cold.<br />
The <strong>HighVisPro</strong> garments are designed to be worn in air<br />
temperatures below -5°C or corresponding environments.<br />
Our protective clothing and personal protective<br />
equipment comply with Directive 89/686/EEC.<br />
Products are EC type examined, and provided<br />
with CE marking and instructions <strong>for</strong> use.<br />
Functional details<br />
All jackets and waistcoats are equipped with plenty of pockets and a detachable ID card pocket.<br />
