Description
Portwest C494 Half Mesh Hi Vis Vest with ID Holder
The Portwest C494 Half Mesh Hi Vis Vest is a lightweight, breathable visibility waistcoat designed for warmer working conditions where staff still need clear identification and reflective visibility.
Its cooling mesh upper torso allows more air to circulate around the body than a standard solid-fabric vest, while the integrated dual-orientation ID holder provides a practical way to display staff, contractor or visitor identification.
Breathable Mesh Hi Vis Vest for Warm Conditions
The C494 is particularly well suited to warehouses, logistics teams, events and active site work where a lightweight mesh hi vis vest can be more comfortable than a conventional waistcoat.
- Cooling mesh upper torso for improved airflow
- Lightweight half-mesh construction
- Dual ID holder for portrait or landscape ID cards
- Reflective tape for increased visibility
- Hook-and-loop front fastening
- Generous fit for comfortable layering
- Suitable for warmer indoor and outdoor working conditions
- Certified for up to 50 washes
Hi Vis Vest with ID Holder
The built-in ID holder makes the Portwest C494 especially useful for workplaces where contractors, visitors or temporary staff need to be easily identified.
Because the holder can display cards in either portrait or landscape format, it works with a wide range of company and site identification systems.

EN ISO 20471 Class 1
The Portwest C494 conforms to EN ISO 20471 Class 1.
It should therefore not be treated as interchangeable with Class 2 or Class 3 garments where a higher visibility classification is required.
Always select the appropriate garment according to the required visibility class, workplace conditions, site rules and risk assessment. Company branding should be positioned so that it does not unnecessarily cover reflective or fluorescent areas of the garment.
