Frequently asked questions

Is this polo EN ISO 20471 Class 2 compliant?

Yes. The S279 is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, with the standard retained after 50 washes, so it meets Class 2 requirements for road, construction and general site work.

What is Texpel wicking fabric?

Texpel is a fabric finish applied to the polyester bird eye knit that speeds up drying and helps stains lift out in the wash, keeping the polo comfortable and easier to keep clean through repeated wear.

Is the S279 suitable for rail industry work?

The orange/navy colourway meets RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry visibility. The yellow/navy colourway is EN ISO 20471 Class 2 for general road and construction use, not specifically rail-approved.

What colours and sizes are available?

The S279 comes in yellow/navy or orange/navy, in sizes XS to 4XL.

Can I have my company logo added?

Yes. Embroidery and logo printing are both available on this style, so it can be branded for a trade or framework order.

Is this polo waterproof?

No. The S279 is not rated waterproof - it is a breathable knit polo for warmer conditions, not wet-weather protection. Pair it with a waterproof hi-vis jacket for rain.

Why is the lower body a different colour to the top?

The navy contrast panel on the lower body and cuffs is there to disguise dirt and marks between washes, while the upper body stays yellow or orange for maximum hi-vis area.
