Hi Vis Overalls

Safety on site starts with the right materials, and this range of hi vis work overalls is built around heavy 311gsm cotton drill. This fabric weight provides a robust barrier against dirt, grease, and minor abrasions while maintaining breathability. The selection includes standard fluorescent fabrics that meet AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 for daytime visibility, as well as options featuring hoop-style 3M reflective tape for full AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 Day/Night compliance. For environments with specific hazards, specialist flame retardant overalls offer ARC thermal protection and Class D hi vis compliance, ensuring workers are protected from flash fires and electrical risks. The use of environmentally friendly green dye and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class II compliance across many styles also ensures these garments are safe for prolonged skin contact.

This range is built around durability and carrying capacity, with features designed for active trades. Dedicated tool and phone pockets on the lower leg keep essential equipment secure but accessible, while metal press studs provide reliable closure that won't degrade like hook-and-loop fasteners. Certain styles incorporate an action back design, which uses extra pleats across the shoulders to prevent the garment from riding up or restricting movement when bending or lifting. Additionally, many of these overalls offer UPF 50+ protection, a critical feature for anyone working outdoors under the harsh Australian sun.

These overalls are suited to many industrial and trade applications. A civil engineering firm could outfit their road crews in the reflective tape styles to ensure they are visible to oncoming traffic during early morning or late evening shifts. A manufacturing plant might issue the standard two-tone cotton overalls to their factory floor staff, providing full-body protection from machinery grease and oil. By adding your company logo through screen printing, full colour digital transfers, or embroidery, these overalls transform from basic safety wear into a cohesive team uniform that clearly identifies your staff on busy multi-contractor sites.

FAQs

What does Class D hi vis compliance mean?
Class D refers to garments designed specifically for daytime use only. They are manufactured from high-visibility materials, typically fluorescent orange or yellow, intended to make the wearer stand out against most background environments during daylight hours, but they do not have reflective tape for night visibility.

What is the difference between Day and Day/Night rated overalls?
Day-rated overalls rely on fluorescent fabric colours for visibility and are only compliant for use during daylight hours. Day/Night rated overalls combine those fluorescent colours with retroreflective tape, allowing them to be seen clearly both during the day and when illuminated by headlights or artificial light at night.

Are these suitable for outdoor work in summer?
Yes, the 100% cotton drill fabric provides natural breathability, and many styles feature UPF 50+ sun protection. Some options also include underarm vented mesh panels to improve airflow and help regulate body temperature during hot conditions.

What environments are these overalls used in?
They are used in any environment requiring full-body protection and high visibility. This includes road maintenance, civil engineering, mining, warehousing, and manufacturing. The flame retardant options are specifically used in environments with electrical hazards or combustible materials.
