EN20471 high-visibility vests for vacation — car safety for the whole family

Not only the driver should carry a high-visibility vest

Different European countries have different rules on carrying high-visibility vests. Some require only the driver to have one, while others require a vest for every vehicle occupant. Check the regulations of your destination before travelling.

Regardless of legal requirements, it is sensible to keep a suitable high-visibility vest for every person in the vehicle. This ensures you are well prepared in an emergency.

Children need specially adapted high-visibility vests

Children are much harder to see than adults because of their smaller size. This can be dangerous at service areas, on motorways or on rural roads.

A specially designed children’s high-visibility vest fits better, slips less and ensures that the reflective strips work effectively.

At Korntex you will find various models:

• Classic children’s high-visibility vest (hook-and-loop fastening) – ideal for holiday travel and the school run.
• Children’s high-visibility vest with zip – particularly comfortable and secure when seated.
• Children’s high-visibility vests with animal motifs – make wearing them more appealing and increase acceptance among children.

Where should high-visibility vests be stored in the car?

A common mistake is storing all high-visibility vests in the boot. In the event of a breakdown, you would first have to open the boot — exactly where you are already exposed to danger.

Keep at least the vests for the front-seat occupants inside the passenger compartment. Good places are:

• Glove compartment
• Door pocket
• Under the driver’s seat
• Seat side pockets

Children’s vests can also be stored within easy reach in a rear-seat pocket.

Start your holiday safely

A high-visibility vest costs only a few francs but can play an important part in preventing accidents in an emergency. Especially during holiday periods, when many families are travelling, it is worth equipping the vehicle completely.

At Korntex you will find high-quality high-visibility vests for adults and children in various sizes and designs, helping the whole family travel safely and remain clearly visible.
