Dickies (UK) - the UK's number one workwear manufacturer - produces an extensive range of High Visibility garments to cater for different conditions.
All the garments in Dickies High Visibility range meet the requirements of The Safety at Street Works and Road Works Code of Practice, which stipulates the a minimum level of protection for different conditions from EN471 (Class 1) the lowest level of visibility for low risk areas to the highest level of visibility EN471 (Class 3).
For 2005 Dickies has expanded its range with the addition of the High Visibility Fleece, two new high visibility Fieldtex garments and the 5-in-1 High Visibility Executive Jacket.
The High Visibility Fleece offers a smart alternative for surveyors and construction engineers when visiting the site.
Made from knitted Polyester the Saturn Yellow fleece provides the highest level of visibility plus warmth.
The 5-in-1 High Visibility Executive Jacket is made from polyurethane coated polyester and has been designed to give five wear options.
This versatile garment can be worn on its own as a weatherproof jacket; or with a zipped-in sleeved bodywarmer; the sleeved bodywarmer can be removed and worn without the jacket; the sleeves can also be removed from the bodywarmer; and if the high visibility protection is not required the bodywarmer can be reversed.
In effect five garments for the price of one.
Not only does the 5-in-1 High Visibility Executive Jacket provide the highest level of visibility EN471 (Class 3), it has EN343 (Class 3) classification for foul weather protection.
Dickies high performance weatherproof Fieldtex clothing has had two more high visibility products added to the range.
The High Visibility Fieldtex Bomber Jacket and Coverall both afford the maximum protection, EN471 (Class 3), as well as having the outstanding qualities that have made the Fieldtex range such a success: a breathable fabric that blocks the wind but allows perspiration vapour to escape; machine washable; resistant to oil, petrol and diesel; and virtually noiseless in action.
