At RefrigiWear, safety is what we do. We keep you protected so you can work hard and get the job done. That’s why we preach the gospel of using high-visibility workwear wherever possible — because it saves lives.

We combine top safety features with the killer quality that’s made us the most trusted name in insulated gear for over 70 years.
Benefits of Outfitting Your Team with High-Visibility Workwear
Why do you need high-visibility (HiVis) to begin with? For starters, if you work road construction, high-visibility clothing is required. OSHA mandates that road construction workers wear gear that enables drivers and equipment operators to see them easily.
But whether it’s required or not, HiVis always helps you stay seen to avoid injuries and accidents. It can make all the difference when any kind of heavy machinery or vehicle is in use.
High visibility also gear helps build a culture of safety on the job. When leaders equip their teams with high-visibility clothing, they’re saying that safety is priority number one.
How to Choose the Best High-Visibility Gear
Now that you know why HiVis matters, how can you know you’re buying the best?
First, make you’re familiar with the ANSI standards for high-visibility clothing. Really pay attention to whether your worksites are classified as Type O (off-road), Type R (roadway) or Type P (public safety), as well as whether your application needs Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 visibility. Good HiVis gear will list which type of ANSI standard it meets, so you'll know if it's right for your job site.
If you need HiVis gear for working on a road at night, look for gear with retroreflective features. That means that it reflects vehicle headlights back at the operator, giving them a strong, unmistakable signal to watch out.
High-visibility clothing should be of high quality, too. Choose gear that’s built to last with professional-grade materials and the insulation power you need to keep warm and dry in rough outdoor conditions.
