X MEANS STOP
When you wear a CSA Z96 approved garment from IFR Workwear, it’s easy to tell which direction you are facing:
VERTICAL STRIPES MARK THE FRONT ‘X’ MARKS THE BACK
The ‘drop-X’ stripe style on the back maintains a visible symmetric ‘X’ even if a hood is worn.
Hood Provisions
CSA Z96-15 Standard, Section 4.2.2 (hood provision) 4.2.2 Coloured stripes/bands — Configurations The stripes/bands are oriented in such a way as to ensure that some part of them is visible from all angles around the body (i.e., 360° visibility).
Stripes/bands shall be laid out in the following distinctive standardized pattern for all classes: a) A waist-level horizontal stripe/band fully encircling the High Visibility Safety Apparel (HVSA); b) Two vertical stripes/bands on the front extending over the shoulders and down to the waist; c) A symmetric “X” on the back extending from the shoulders to the waist-level stripe/band; and d) For Class 3 apparel, in addition to this standard pattern, stripes/bands encircling both arms and both legs shall be added.
