Description
Portwest C474 Two Band Hi Vis Vest
The Portwest C474 Two Band Hi Vis Vest is a lightweight Class 2 visibility waistcoat designed for contractors, warehouse teams, logistics staff and workplaces that need a simple, easy-to-wear hi vis garment without additional pockets or executive features.
Made from lightweight 124gsm polyester warp knit, the C474 uses a distinctive two-band reflective layout with one reflective stripe across the chest and one around the waist. This gives it a simpler appearance than a traditional band-and-brace vest while still meeting EN ISO 20471 Class 2 requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

EN ISO 20471 & Rail Compliance
Both the Yellow and Orange Portwest C474 conform to EN ISO 20471 Class 2. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
