Re: hi viz vest
...but you'd need to order the next size up for those cases.
There is no real issue with hi-viz vests and excessive heat during the summer months. I have a medical disorder called hyperhidrosis and there is no marked increase in excessive sweat whilst wearing these light, translucent, sleeveless, loose fitting and drop necked items.

Re: hi viz vest
Perhaps because I had to wear body Armour, a Kevlar helmet, carry a weapon and 2 full magazines, Not to mention carrying webbing and occasionally a full Bergen, in the tropics when temperatures on average could be bewteen 30 and 35C and humidity always over 95% I really don't have a problem wearing a high viz in any weather. I suppose it all depends on your outlook, and frame of reference.

Re: hi viz vest
you are required by your employer to wear 1 of these things so wether you like them or not doesn't matter to royal mail.
ask yourself this-is it really worth the hassle you may get from your lino for not wearing the hi-viz?

Re: hi viz vest
I really don't get the issue with wearing it, you put it on before you leave the office and take it off when you come back, doesn't slow you down, doesn't make you overheat...........tbh I really don't care anymore, we'll both do as we please and I don't see any argument on here changing either opinion.DB1100 wrote:I don't get any problems,I wear it in the yard,when I'm doing collections or dropping bags off out of the van,but not when I am doing a walk,as per the uniform regs so what am I doing wrong?.If you want to wear yours fine get on with itDGP1 wrote:But is it worth the hassle of fighting for your job over it?DB1100 wrote:Read the rules you are NOT required to wear one all the time as has been discussed on here a lot.youwot!!!!! wrote:you are required by your employer to wear 1 of these things so wether you like them or not doesn't matter to royal mail.
