Description
A new generation of high-visibility jacket: with Alpha HighVis, CWS is launching a collection on the market which combines the reliable high visibility of warning protection class 2 with premium sustainability. The work jacket is made from 100 per cent ecological Tecawork Ecogreen™, an EPD®-certified material composed of TENCEL™ lyocell and recycled polyester. It is sustainable, robust, durable and impresses with exceptional colour brilliance even after many washes. Not only that, but it is also very light at just 260 g/m2 (safety yellow) / 270 g/m2 (safety orange).
Alpha HighVis is ideal for use in municipalities, for example in waste management, logistics and transport companies. TENCEL™ lyocell is excellent at regulating moisture and has a cooling effect – which means extra comfort in summer especially. The high-visibility clothing also offers UV protection to boot.
The high-visibility jacket has a stand-up collar which closes with a press stud, concealed press studs down the front facing and an extended back to protect the wearer from drafts. Reflective stripes around the torso and sleeves increase visibility. The width of the cuffs can be adjusted with the press studs. Dark, contrasting panels on the sleeves and at the waist mean dirt doesn’t show up as much. The work jacket has two side pockets with concealed press studs and an inside pocket on the left. The breast pocket, also on the left, is equipped with a vertical zip making it easier to reach your hand in.
CWS offers the high-visibility jacket both in two safety yellow combinations – with dark blue or dark grey – and in three safety orange versions. The latter are available combined with dark blue, dark grey and dark green. If you are interested in adding name tags or company logos, please ask your customer representative for more information.
