Frequently asked questions

What makes the Cotton Comfort fabric different from standard hi-vis T-shirts?

It has a higher cotton content than most hi-vis tees, plus tape-free mesh gussets in the side seams, so it breathes better and moves with you while keeping the certified reflective tape on the body of the shirt.

Is this T-shirt suitable for rail industry work?

The orange colourway meets RIS 3279-TOM for rail work; the yellow colourway does not carry that rail certification, so check the standard you need before ordering.

What's the neckline on this shirt?

It's a V-neck with a taped seam for extra comfort against the skin, rather than the crew-neck cut used on some other Portwest hi-vis tees.

How does it keep me cool in warm weather?

Moisture-wicking, high cotton-content fabric plus tape-free mesh panels on the sides give airflow and draw sweat away from the body.

Does the EN ISO 20471 certification survive washing?

Yes - it's certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 after 50 washes, so the hi-vis performance is tested to hold up through regular laundering.

What sizes does the S179 come in?

S up to 4XL, in Orange or Yellow.

Can I add a logo or company branding to this T-shirt?

Yes - embroidery and logo printing are both available on this style. Ask about trade-account pricing for bulk orders.
