I work for a consultantcy that has assignments all over the Middle East and Africa, I am currently looking to improve the standard of PPE we use while on location. Due to the high temperatures I am required to provide equipment that will assist in thermal comfort and to a good specification (preferably EN471 class 2 and be of an open mesh construction and be available in both yellow and orange. Can anyone give me a steer, this would not be a high volume order so off the shelf would be excellent

try running/outdoor persuit shops as they tend to stock lightweight mesh hi-vis.

If you Google hi viz t shirts, you will find they are relatively easy to get hold of. If you Google perforated hi viz vest you will find what you are looking for, but the ones I have seen so far do not conform to EN471.
