I stick with yellow.

 

Simple reason, in the past I have had an issue with wearing orange. On some sites only the designated first aid administrators can wear Orange. We are, of course, not the sites listed first aiders and got told not to wear orange.

 

This is only working on construction sites and for big commercial sheds so not a day to day issue for me.

Personally I always opt for orange, as I find yellow blends in too well with a green background, especially grubby yellow!

I wear a lot of fistad shirts and jackets, real pricy but have worn really well. The Mrs washes ALL the lads hi viz over the weekend cos we found stuff become unfit for purpose if it was left to the lads.

 

Dirty hi viz is worse than useless

Thanks all for the input - good points and discussion there. Food for thought.

Don't forget helmet colour. Groundies in particular need to be seen from above.

Company I work for issues long sleeve hi viz polo shirts. Breathe able material not the thick cotton so fine to wear with sleeves down. 25 washes and get a new one as they fade. Yellow is the chosen colour. But all staff issued with same tops so uniform. Yellow does blend in to a green background quite easily though.
