Work Gilets & Safety Vests

Versatile and Comfortable: The Work Vest
Multi-pocketed, padded, made from softshell material or lightweight breathable fabric, the work vest is an essential piece of clothing for workers across various industries. What makes it so popular?

The work vest, available in summer, winter, mid-season, and high-visibility variants, stands out for three main qualities: it’s practical, comfortable, and functional.

The practicality and versatility of the work vest are undeniable: it’s useful in a wide range of situations, environments, climates, and work applications. From construction sites to workshops, the multi-pocket vest is a staple in the daily attire of mechanics, electricians, plumbers, warehouse workers, and many other professionals.
The work vest is comfortable, and its quality is evident in its good fit, meaning it adapts well to the wearer’s body without being too tight or too loose, without shifting or riding up when, for example, working seated or crouched. The absence of sleeves makes it more ergonomic and facilitates the wearer’s movements.
Finally, the multi-pocket vest is a must-have in workwear for its functionality. It allows quick access to important or frequently used items during work without the need to carry bags, backpacks, or toolboxes. The internal and external pockets of the work vest securely hold not only tools and small items but also licenses, documents, badges, coins, payment cards, smartphones, and other personal effects.
Therefore, when choosing a good work vest, it’s important to pay attention to the quality and durability of the fabrics, stitching, and finishes (zippers, snap buttons, etc.), as the pockets are frequently opened and closed and may contain tools or small items, so the fabrics and stitching need to be resistant to wear and abrasion.

Lightweight and Breathable Multi-pocket Vests
In spring and summer, the multi-pocket vest often replaces the work jacket for those who need to carry and quickly access tools and personal effects without overly burdening their attire.
Made from cotton or technical breathable fabrics, multi-pocket vests for the warm season are lightweight, easy to wash, and promote breathability. They pair well with work shorts in the hottest months or with summer work pants.
In some cases, the work vest forms a uniform with matching pants, such as the VEST EASYWORK LIGHT multi-pocket vest. Made from cotton twill, it is adjustable at the waist and has a back gusset, features that enhance the vest’s fit and the wearer’s freedom of movement; it forms a uniform when paired with the all-season EASYWORK LIGHT pants.

For those seeking a high-performance and versatile solution suitable even for the mid-season, the VEST CARBON TECH is a work vest made from water-repellent, stretchable, and highly breathable technical fabric, thanks to Geox’s patented Breathing System technology. As a uniform, it can be paired with the Carbon 702.175554 work pants in the asphalt color variant.

Padded Softshell Vests
In the colder months and for those working outdoors, work vests made from softshell material or padded vests also serve the important function of protecting the torso from cold and wind without limiting mobility.
Among the new winter offerings from Diadora Utility, the PADDED VEST OSLO is a padded work vest that is comfortable, versatile, and stylish, reminiscent of leisure and sportswear. Made from ultra-durable Cordura material, its excellent fit and stretch fabric details ensure the freedom of movement of a winter work vest that is warm without being bulky. The wide range of available sizes, from XS to XXXXL, makes it suitable for every body type, male or female.

High-Visibility Vests
The work vest is also essential for those working on road construction sites and in other situations requiring high-visibility workwear. For more information on the requirements for high-visibility PPE.
High-visibility work vests are made from fluorescent fabric, often yellow or orange, with the application of retro-reflective gray bands.
