Frequently asked questions

What's the point of the navy lower panel?

It's a practical colour block below the reflective tape that helps hide dirt and marks compared with a solid hi-vis colour, while the top half still meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2.

What colour and size options are there?

Orange/Navy and Yellow/Navy, both in sizes XS to 4XL.

Is it suitable for rail industry work?

The Orange/Navy colourway meets RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry work; Yellow/Navy does not carry this rail compliance.

How is this different from the plain S170 T-shirt?

Same Cotton Comfort fabric and EN ISO 20471 Class 2 rating, but the S173 adds a navy contrast panel below the reflective tape instead of a single block colour.

Can I get this branded for my company?

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

How should I wash it without affecting the certification?

Follow the wash-care symbols on the garment label - 40 degree wash, no bleach, no tumble dry, line dry, no iron, no dry clean. It's certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 after 50 washes when cared for this way.

Does it offer any UV protection?

Yes - the fabric is 40+ UPF rated, blocking 98% of UV rays.
