Optimal safety of your schoolchildren with four-day evening vests
Where previously mainly school shirts were used during the evening four-day event, nowadays reflective children's vests are mainly recommended. This not only increases the recognisability of the children, but especially safety. The orange and yellow safety vests according to European standard EN471 are made of fluorescent fabric and equipped with luminous striping. The differently colored children's vests and sundresses are in any case equipped with luminous striping, which makes your children more visible in traffic.

Advantages of school vests or children's vests for evening four-day events

School vests are cheaper than T-shirts because they can easily be put on over your own clothing, are adjustable and because they are reusable. Reflective children's vests are easy to keep clean because they are made of lightweight polyester. The polyester vests are mold resistant and breathable, so they can be used every year for a new group of evening four-day children.

Children's vests and children's sundresses

There are two types of evening four-day vests: vests or sundresses. Children's vests have the shape of a vest and are easily adjustable with Velcro. A pinafore is easy to put on over the child's head and stretches thanks to the elastic at the waist. Because school vests and school pinafores are adjustable, they are suitable for children of different heights, weights and body types.

Enough choice in colors and sizes of four-day evening vests

You don't have to think that reflective four-day evening vests are only available in orange or yellow. No, there is a wide choice of colors for children's vests such as green, yellow, white, blue, red, orange and even pink. This way you can have your evening four-day runners in the color of your choice as much as possible. Because school vests are so easily adjustable, you do not need to have as many different sizes of children's vests in stock as if you were using T-shirts. Some models of reflective children's vests and children's sundresses are therefore available in one standard size and other models have a slightly wider choice of sizes. The 'one size fits all' vests are suitable for children aged 6 to 12 years. As an indication of the sizes of the other models of four-day evening vests: children's vest size S is suitable for children aged 4 - 8 years and size M for children aged 8 - 12 years. Regular clothing sizes are also available when purchasing school vests. Check the available sizes in the webshop for the item of your choice.

Reflective stripes on evening four-day vests

Evening four-day vests and sundresses are not only suitable to better recognize your 'own' children in the evening four-day crowd, but are also intended to make them more visible in traffic. That is why all children's vests are also equipped with reflective stripes. Some of these reflective evening four-day vests even meet the European standard for visibility EN471.

Standard EN 471 for safety vests

Standard EN 471 has the symbol of the safety vest and lays down requirements for clothing intended to visually emphasize the presence of the user in order to make him more conspicuous in dangerous situations, both day and night (illumination by car and truck headlights). ). Next to this safety vest symbol are often the values ​​X and Y.

  • The top value (X) indicates which class the item meets. This can be class 1 to 3. Class 1 is the least visible and class 3 the most. For evening four-day vests, value 1 is usually sufficient.
  • The bottom value (Y) indicates the quality of the reflective strip. This can be value 1 or 2. This indicates how well the reflective tape reflects. Value 2 reflects the best.
