Hi Vis Hoodie Sweat Shirt Black/yellow

Site colours, weekend comfort. Not your rated hi-vis.

You finish a day on the saw and the only thing in the ute with your trade on it is a torn drill top with sap down the front. Everything else that looks the part is sold as safety gear at safety-gear money, and it gets wrecked the first time you lean on a stump.

This is the other thing. A printed chainsaw hoodie in the colours the job runs in — dark navy body, fluorescent yellow-green yoke, silver-grey banding across the chest, hem and cuffs, and a saw sitting on a stump across the back. Pick it as a pullover hoodie, a zip hoodie or a crew-neck sweatshirt, XS to 4XL, all one price.

Here is the part that matters more than any of that. The striping is printed. The body is dark, not fluorescent. Nothing on this garment is tested or marked to AS/NZS 4602.1 for high visibility clothing, or to AS/NZS 1906.4 for retroreflective materials, and no certificate has been sighted. So if you pull it on at dusk and walk out in front of a loader because you thought you were lit up, that is exactly the incident this paragraph exists to stop. Wear your rated vest over the top, or keep this one for the drive home.

What It Does

• Off the saw: something warm with your trade on it that is not the shirt you have been sweating in since five.
• Kits the whole crew: three garment styles at one price, so everyone can be in the same print without arguing about pullovers and zips.
• Cold starts and long smokos: a hood and a full-length zip option for standing around a landing waiting on the truck.
• Reads as workwear off site: the banding says what you do at the field day or the footy without a company logo across your back.
• Layers under a rated vest: if you do need to be compliant, this goes on first and the certified vest or jacket goes over it.

Key Features

• All-over printed: the graphic runs across the seams, front, back and sleeves, so the striping is part of the fabric rather than a stuck-on panel.
• Three styles, one price: pullover hoodie, full-zip hoodie or crew-neck sweatshirt, all at the same cost.
• Fluorescent yoke panels: yellow-green across the shoulders front and back, with silver-grey and fluorescent banding at chest, hem and cuffs.
• Chainsaw back graphic: a saw parked on a freshly cut stump, printed the full width of the back panel.
• Printed name banner: the supplier photographs show a placeholder banner reading YOUR NAME across the upper back — see the Limits section, this listing does not offer personalisation.
• Raglan sleeves: the shoulder seam runs to the collar rather than across the shoulder, which is the cut that lets you reach without the hem lifting.
• Ribbed cuffs and hem: holds the sleeve down over a glove cuff and keeps the hem from riding up when you bend.
• Kangaroo and hand pockets: a front pouch on the pullover, split hand pockets on the zip version.
• Unisex, XS to 4XL: one cut, eight sizes, with the supplier measurements published in the Specs tab.

Limits

The honest list, because this is the category where getting it wrong hurts someone.

• It is not certified hi-vis: no AS/NZS 4602.1 class, no EN ISO 20471 marking, nothing printed on the garment and no certificate published by the supplier. If your site specifies a class, this does not meet it.
• The background is dark: AS/NZS 4602.1 and the European standard both require a fluorescent background colour — yellow, orange-red or red. This one is navy with fluorescent panels on it, so it could not comply on colour alone even if it were tested.
• The silver bands are printed: the supplier does not state that they are retroreflective and, from its own photographs, they run straight across the seams as part of the print. Treat them as decoration, not as something that will light up in a set of headlights.
• It is not chainsaw clothing: there is no cut-protective layer of any kind. Saw trousers, chaps and protective jackets are a separate class of garment and this is not one of them. Do not wear it as your cut protection.
• No name personalisation: the back panel in the supplier photographs carries a placeholder banner. BushLine does not offer a custom name on this listing, and the supplier does not state what it prints in that banner on the garment it ships.
• The chart is Asian sizing: it runs smaller than an Australian or New Zealand label of the same letter. Measure a top you already own against the Specs tables before you choose.
• Fabric is unstated: the supplier publishes no composition, no weight and no wash care, so we cannot tell you how warm it is or how it will behave in a hot wash.
• One colourway only: dark navy with fluorescent yellow-green and silver-grey. There is no second colour option behind the size picker.

Q & A

Can I wear this as my hi-vis on site?

No. Nothing on it is tested or marked to AS/NZS 4602.1, the body colour is not fluorescent, and no certificate exists to show a safety officer. If your site specifies a class of high visibility clothing, wear a garment that carries that class and put this underneath it.

Are the silver stripes real reflective tape?

The supplier does not say so, and in its own photographs the bands run continuously across the shoulder and sleeve seams the way print does, not the way sewn-on tape does. We have not been able to confirm any retroreflective performance, so the honest answer is to assume they are printed and will not return light to a driver. Reflective tape on its own is not compliance anyway — a compliant garment needs the fluorescent background, the tape and a tested garment class together.

Is it rated for chainsaw or forestry work?

No, and this is the one to be clear about. The graphic is a chainsaw; the garment has no cut protection in it. Saw trousers, chaps and cut-protective jackets are built with a layer designed to jam a chain, and there is nothing like that here. This is a printed hoodie with a logging theme on it.

What size do I take?

The supplier publishes two charts, both headed as Asian sizing, and they run smaller than an Australian or New Zealand label of the same letter. Both are reproduced in the Specs tab in cm and mm. Lay a hoodie you already wear flat, measure it, and match the numbers rather than the letter.

Which chart covers the zip hoodie?

The supplier only publishes two charts, one drawn as a pullover hoodie and one as a crew sweatshirt, and it does not say which the zip version follows. By shape the hoodie chart is the closer match, but that is our reading rather than the supplier stating it.

Do I get my name printed on the back?

No. The banner across the upper back in the photographs is the supplier showing where a name would sit on a personalised version. This listing has no name field, and the supplier does not state what it prints there on the garment it actually ships.

How long does it take to arrive?

Allow 10 to 14 days from the day you place the order, and up to three weeks if you are regional or remote. Delivery is free to Australia and New Zealand.

Specs

Supplier Size Chart — Hoodie

Taken from the supplier chart headed "Asian size". It publishes XS to 7XL; BushLine stocks XS to 4XL. The supplier labels the third column chest width and does not state whether it is measured flat across the garment or right around, so compare it against a top you own rather than against your own chest measurement.

Supplier Size Chart — Sweatshirt

The crew-neck sweatshirt runs to its own chart, roughly one size smaller than the hoodie at the same letter.
