So, I thought I'd try a pack of this sublicotton paper and powder. I want to use it for t-shirts and hopefully for hi viz vests, is this ok? Has anybody tried this stuff and does it give results? Any hrlp would be appreciated.

Using SubliCotton on hiviz would be a waste of money as hiviz is polyester so sublimation works fine. The SubliCotton powder is used to bond the sublimation inks to cotton so this won't be necessary on hiviz garments.

so just for t-shirts, sweat shirts etc. Thank you that's really helpful. Just saw the sample pack and thought it would be handy to used alongside sublimation items.

Anything cotton really so yes you can do the standard tshirts, sweats etc (light or white colours), pillow cases, cotton bags and much more.

So I tried the hi viz vest using sublimation and the logo was fine but the box became a darker yellow, anybody know how I can change this or is it normal?

Sounds like you've burnt the material so a little less heat next time. Test the material at slightly lower temps.
