What AS/NZS standard applies to hi-vis jackets in NZ?

Hi-vis jackets in NZ must meet AS/NZS 4602.1 (high visibility safety clothing). Class D is for day use, Class N for night use, and Class D/N for both. Traffic management and roadside workers typically require Class D/N rated garments.

What is the difference between Class D and Class D/N hi-vis?

Class D garments have fluorescent material for daytime visibility. Class D/N garments add retroreflective tape for night-time visibility when illuminated by headlights. For roadside and traffic management work in NZ, Class D/N is the standard requirement.

Can hi-vis jackets be machine washed?

Yes, most hi-vis jackets can be machine washed. Use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softener (which can degrade fluorescent fabric and reflective tape), and wash on a gentle cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on low.

Which hi-vis jacket brands does KiwiWorkGear stock?

KiwiWorkGear stocks hi-vis jackets from Portwest, Bisley, Bison, Betacraft, and other leading workwear brands. Our range includes waterproof shell jackets, softshell, bomber styles, and fleece-lined options for NZ winters.
