How we chose

Our team works with clients every day to test and wear this kit on real sites, and we listen to their feedback alongside what people say online and on review sites. We bring it all together so you get clear, honest information to pick the right product for you.

Using our supplier certification data, we screened the certified picks against EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 and read each one's class: 1, 2 or 3, set by the minimum area of fluorescent background and retroreflective tape (Class 3 is the most conspicuous). On some styles the class depends on size, so check the class for the size you order. Orange picks marked RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2 meet the RSSB hi-vis standard for the GB mainline railway.

Every pick is active and in stock, with clear photos and sizes available. Scores weight review quality (38%, a Bayesian average rating), review volume (17%), our product research (30%: trade bestseller signals, price against the market, colour range and verified standards), photo coverage (8%) and size availability (7%). We only show verified ratings and review counts, with links, we pick no more than two products per brand, and every review summary is written in our own words.
