SW10A Hi-Vis Safety Vest: Lightweight, Breathable Day-Use Protection

 

Not every job needs a heavy-duty night-rated vest — but every job near traffic, machinery, or public work sites needs certified visibility. The SW10A Hi-Vis Safety Vest from Kaya Workwear is a lightweight, breathable, VicRoads style vest designed for comfortable all-day wear while staying fully compliant with Australian safety standards.

Certified to AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 Class D, the SW10A is purpose-built for day-use safety wear — ideal for outdoor teams who need reliable visibility without the bulk of a heavier garment.

Why the SW10A Works for Your Team

Certified Day-Use Visibility

The SW10A conforms to AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 Class D, the Australian standard for daytime high-visibility safety garments. It follows a recognisable VicRoads style design, making it a familiar, trusted option for road-adjacent and civil work.

Lightweight, Breathable Build

Unlike heavier warp-knitted vests, the SW10A uses a 160gsm, 100% polyester mesh fabric — light enough for long shifts in warm conditions, while still being warp-knitted for durability. This makes it a popular choice for workers who need visibility without added heat or bulk.

Reflective Performance

• H-hoop pattern reflective tape, 50mm wide, in yellow — a wider tape width than many standard vests, improving daytime reflectivity and visibility at a distance.
• The H-hoop layout wraps over the shoulders and around the torso, keeping the wearer visible from multiple angles.

Durable Everyday Details

• Black banding around all edges prevents the mesh fabric from fraying with repeated wear and washing.
• Front zip closure for quick on/off and a secure, professional fit.
• Unisex fit, suitable across mixed crews and teams.

The SW10A is a strong fit for:

• Road-adjacent and traffic-aware work (day shifts)

Branding Options

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Class D" mean under AS/NZS 4602.1:2011?

Class D indicates the garment is certified for daytime high-visibility use, combining fluorescent background fabric with reflective tape sized and placed for daytime recognition. It does not carry a night-use (Class N) rating.

Is the SW10A suitable for night work?

 No. The SW10A is a Class D, day-use only safety vest. For combined day and night certification, look for a Class D/N rated vest such as Kaya Workwear's SW92.

What is an H-hoop reflective pattern?

An H-hoop pattern places reflective tape over both shoulders and around the torso in an "H" shape, improving visibility from the front, back, and sides during daylight hours.

Is the SW10A vest lightweight?

Yes. It's made from a 160gsm mesh polyester fabric, making it noticeably lighter and more breathable than heavier warp-knitted safety vests — ideal for warm-weather or extended outdoor shifts.

Can the SW10A be branded with a company logo?

Yes, it's available with embroidery or DTF print branding.

Is the SW10A unisex?

Yes, it's designed as a unisex fit suitable for mixed workforces.
