Hi-vis fabrics are fluorescent background materials designed to meet EN ISO 20471 visibility standards — combined with retroreflective tape applied at the garment manufacturing stage. For workers in road construction, railway, airport ground, emergency rescue, and utility maintenance, hi-vis fabric is the first line of defense against moving-vehicle accidents in low-light conditions.
