Frequently asked questions
What makes the Cotton Comfort fabric different from standard hi-vis T-shirts?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
What sizes does the S179 come in?
