Why it works

Hi-vis certified, built for comfort

EN ISO 20471 Class 2 hi-vis

Reflective HiVisTex tape and hi-vis fabric are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, keeping wearers visible in daylight and low light.

Moisture-wicking comfort fabric

The cotton comfort fabric wicks moisture away from the body to help keep the wearer cool and dry through the shift.

Hi-vis performance holds after washing

Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 after 50 washes, so the reflective performance does not fade with regular laundering.

40+ UPF sun protection

The fabric is rated 40+ UPF, blocking 98% of UV rays for outdoor work in strong sun.

Taped neck seam, comfort fit

A taped neck seam and comfort fit design add all-day wearability without added bulk.

Frequently asked questions

Is this t-shirt fully hi-vis certified or just the colour?

It's fully certified - HiVisTex reflective tape and the fabric are tested to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, and that rating still holds after 50 washes.

Can I wear this on rail sites?

Yes, but only in Orange - that colourway meets RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry work. The Yellow colourway is EN ISO 20471 Class 2 only and does not carry the rail rating.

Will it keep me cool in summer?

Yes. The cotton comfort fabric is moisture-wicking and breathable, and the fit is designed to be comfortable through a full shift in warm weather.

What sizes does it come in?

XS through to 4XL, in Orange or Yellow, unisex fit.

Is it waterproof or thermal rated?

No, it is a short-sleeve t-shirt with no waterproof or thermal rating - it is designed as standalone summer hi-vis workwear, not wet or cold-weather PPE.

Can we get it embroidered with a company logo?

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