Blaklader 3085 Hi-Vis Vest

The Blaklader 3085 is a hard-wearing, industrial-launderable hi-vis vest built for professionals who need high visibility, real durability and no-nonsense functionality — day in, day out. Designed with a sharp, two-tone aesthetic and segmented reflective tape, this vest delivers certified safety performance without the fuss.

Engineered to survive industrial washing cycles to EN ISO 15797, it's the ideal choice for fleet workwear, rental schemes and any environment where garments need to come back from the laundry looking and performing like new — shift after shift.

A women's version is also available as the Blaklader 3092.

Why Choose the Blaklader 3085 Hi-Vis Vest?

Industrial laundry approved — Certified to EN ISO 15797, so it stands up to commercial washing without losing fit, colour or reflective performance.

Certified hi-vis safety — Two-tone design with segmented reflective tape on the front and back, plus reflectors on the shoulders. Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 (S and above) for high-visibility work environments.

Durable polycotton fabric — A 70% polyester / 30% cotton twill weave at 230 g/m² delivers the right balance of strength, comfort and longevity.

Water-repellent finish — Sheds light rain and spills without weighing you down.

Practical, work-ready details — Removable ID pocket, multiple zipped pockets, D-rings, high collar and an extended back for full coverage when you're bending or reaching.

Built for Daily Site Wear

The 3085 is the kind of hi-vis vest that simply gets on with the job. The polycotton twill main fabric is tough enough for construction, civils, logistics and utilities work, while the water-repellent finish gives an extra layer of protection against the elements and everyday spills.

A high collar with zipper closes off the neck for added warmth and protection, while the contrasting shoulder panels provide a sharp, professional finish that makes branded teamwear stand out.
