Hi-vis

High-visibility clothing is any clothing worn that is photoluminescent, highly reflective, or of a color that is easily discernible from any background. It is most commonly worn on the torso and arm area of the body. Health and safety regulations often require the use of high visibility clothing as it is a form of personal protective equipment.

Many colors of high visibility vests are available, with yellow and orange being the most common examples.
Colors other than yellow or orange may not provide adequate conspicuity for conformity to standards such as ISO 20471.
