The Portwest HV389 hi-vis leg gaiters are the ideal solution for professionals who want extra visibility in high-risk work environments. These functional accessories are specially designed to be worn over your existing workwear, instantly increasing the visibility of your lower legs during active tasks. Thanks to the strategic combination of fluorescent material and reflection, this model is perfect for situations where maximum attention-grabbing is required.
Which work activities and sectors are these hi-vis leg gaiters most suitable for?
These accessories are ideally suited for professionals in road construction, logistics, and on construction sites where vehicles and machinery are moving. In these dynamic sectors, high visibility of the lower legs is crucial, as workers often bend over or stand behind obstacles.
The contrasting panels at the bottom effectively protect the leg gaiters from dirt and mud. This keeps the reflective striping cleaner and functional for longer, which significantly increases workplace safety during daily tasks under harsh conditions.
What does the EN 17353 Type B2 standard mean for these hi-vis leg gaiters?
The EN 17353 Type B2 standard indicates that these accessories are certified for enhanced visibility in medium-risk situations. Type B2 specifically focuses on protection during twilight and darkness through the use of retroreflective materials on the limbs.
This model features high-quality reflective striping that reflects headlights directly back to the driver. This ensures quick recognition of the wearer, unlike standard workwear without these specific reflective properties.
The breathable cooling mesh fabric provides extra ventilation, while the adjustable Velcro fastening and the fully elasticated waistband ensure a comfortable and flexible fit.
