Hi Vis Fleece

For worksites operating through Australian winters, hi vis fleece is the practical mid-layer between a hi vis shirt and a full jacket. Crew neck sweat tops are the simplest option. Pull-on and long-sleeved, they're built from 100% polyester polar fleece or cotton fleece in fluorescent yellow or orange. Half-zip styles add a chest zip for temperature management across a working day where conditions change from cold mornings to warmer afternoons. Full-zip tops and hooded styles open fully to go on and off over helmets and hard hats without removing them, which matters on active construction, civil works, and road sites. Polar fleece vests are the mobility option. They keep the core warm without restricting the arm movement that hands-on trades and plant operation require. Two-tone constructions throughout pair the fluorescent hi vis colour with navy accents on the collar, cuffs, and lower body. Select styles carry reflective tape in hoop, double-hoop, and taped-arm configurations for day and night compliance. One polar fleece vest in the range is reversible, with a hi vis outer face and a plain fleece inner that can be worn off-site.

A mining services company outfitting a crew for a winter roster gets a consistent branded layer that every worker wears on the coldest mornings, which means the company name is visible on site throughout the winter season. The embroidery on the chest or sleeve reads cleanly against the fleece pile and does not fade with washing the way printed decoration can.

All styles can be embroidered. Embroidery on fleece produces a raised, textured result that holds up through the heavy washing cycles that workwear receives.

Product Knowledge

What is the difference between polar fleece and cotton fleece in this range?

Polar fleece is 100% polyester with a knitted pile surface that traps air for insulation. It's lightweight, dries quickly, and does not absorb moisture the way cotton does, which makes it practical for outdoor work. Anti-pill polar fleece uses a tighter construction that resists the formation of surface pills through repeated washing and wear. Cotton fleece uses a cotton base with a brushed interior, which feels warmer against the skin for some wearers and suits those who prefer a natural fibre. Some cotton fleece styles in this range carry anti-static properties, which polyester styles do not.

What does a half-zip style offer that a crew neck does not?

A half-zip lets the wearer open the front of the garment partway to manage body temperature without fully removing it. On a worksite where mornings are cold and afternoons warm up significantly, this avoids the cycle of putting on and taking off the fleece through the day. The zip also makes it easier to put the garment on and take it off over bulky workwear or when hands are dirty. Crew neck styles are simpler and sit at a lower price point, which makes them practical for large team orders where cost per unit is the primary concern.

Which styles have reflective tape for night or low-light compliance?

Reflective tape appears on a subset of styles, including select sweat tops, the hoop-taped fleecy top, and half-zip polar fleece styles with 3M tape. Not every style in the range carries reflective tape, so if day and night compliance is a requirement, it's worth confirming the specific style on the product page before placing the order. Day-only styles without tape are suitable for worksites where all work is conducted in daylight.

What is the pen pocket on the sleeve for?

The pen pocket is a narrow chest-level sleeve pocket that holds a pen or marker without it falling out or needing a separate holder. It's a practical detail for tradespeople who use markers to measure, mark, or annotate work throughout the day. It appears on crew neck sweat top styles in this range and is a detail that most workwear buyers either specifically look for or appreciate once they have it.
