it's scenting out my place anyway, regret bringing it home.. what did they make it out of at all. and wore the trousers for one shift and a hole already.

My question is, is it hi-viz?

Well I haven't been killed on a checkpoint yet wearing it. I've almost sweated myself to death though!

anybody else think that the sleeves are huge?

the High-viz is very figure hugging especially when you have the stab vest and maybe the fleece underneth it.. the tshirts are made two sizes too small i feel. whats the story with the gloves.. are they for the oven or what.. never received the hat even though it was ticked off on the list.. Ya agree the hi-viz jacket is very fragrant..
why are the trousers always too long..

Smells like success!

Hi all, is the uniforms add other items of clothing you have to have "breathable"?

Like does it stay comfy in the car and does it keep a breeze off you outside?

I think the only place for this new high viz jacket is the shed, made the mistake of leaving it on the back of a chair in the kitchen last night, and there was a lovely smell of spuds in the kitchen this morning.

The boom is definitely over.

All high-viz jackets issued during the Celtic Tiger years smelled of rustic pesto on a stone baked ciabatta with a subtle dangleberry jus.

Now everything smells like shpuds again.

It's actually part of a cunning plan by HR.
The smell is to remind the culchie folks of the farm, and therefore reduce their moans about the transfer list.

Should boost morale.

I requested a puke/piss smelling one to remind me that I'm home already :P
