Improve Road Safety With High-Visibility Waistcoats

In winter, when daylight hours are shorter, and fog, rain and snow can further reduce visibility, high-visibility waistcoats become essential tools for preventing accidents on the road. Reflective clothing and accessories significantly increase the likelihood of drivers spotting pedestrians and other road users in low-light conditions. Colan specialises in quality, durable high-visibility products with a diverse range that caters for everyone. Whether you want a reflective dog coat to keep your pooch safe on their evening walk or to kit out a team of volunteers for your upcoming charity fundraiser, we’ve got you covered.   

High-Visibility Waistcoats For Children 

Children are not always aware of the dangers posed by traffic and their smaller stature makes them less visible to drivers. In educational settings, the importance of reflective products cannot be overstated. If you walk your children to swimming lessons or sports fixtures, our fluorescent PE bags are a must-have. Our reflective high-visibility tabards, armbands and sashes are available in various colours to help differentiate classes, making headcounts easier and increasing children’s visibility for road users. Reflective stickers and clip-on badges offer a fun alternative to traditional safety wear that really appeal to younger children. All of our products can be custom-printed with your school’s name or logo, with discounts available on larger orders. 

Reflective Gear For Cyclists

A 2018 study used a randomised controlled trial to study the effect of high-visibility jackets on cyclist safety. The number of collisions per month between cyclists and motor vehicles was 55% lower among those wearing reflective gear. The safety effect was also found to be greater in winter. Our high-visibility waistcoats, Sam Browne belts, leg bands and sashes help to reduce your chances of being in a road traffic accident, especially during dawn, dusk or nighttime rides. By prioritising your visibility, you contribute to a safer road environment and promote responsible cycling practices.   

Fundraising Road Safety 

Fundraising events, including popular 10k charity runs, often take place near or on roads. When responsible for participants’ safety, high-visibility products become a matter of responsible event management. Everyone involved in roadside fundraising, whether running, stewarding or providing medical assistance, should wear reflective clothing. Our high-visibility waistcoats are available in different colours and can be printed to distinguish roles. By incorporating high-visibility safety wear into your event, you demonstrate a commitment to safety while raising awareness and funds for your cause.
