Frequently asked questions

What does "Class 3" mean compared to other Portwest hi-vis T-shirts?

Class 3 is the highest hi-vis class achievable in a single garment under EN ISO 20471 - it needs more background and reflective material than a Class 1 or Class 2 T-shirt, so it reaches full compliance without adding a vest or jacket on top.

Is this long sleeve or short sleeve?

Long sleeve. If you need a short-sleeve Class 3 option, check the rest of the Portwest hi-vis T-shirt range.

Does the rail rating apply to both colourways?

No - RIS 3279-TOM only applies to the Orange colourway. The Yellow version does not carry this rating.

Will the Texpel wicking finish actually keep me dry?

It is designed to draw moisture away from the skin rather than block sweat entirely, so you will still feel warm working hard in it, but it dries faster than a plain polyester T-shirt.

What sizes are available?

S to 3XL in both Orange and Yellow.

Can I get this branded with a company logo?

Yes - embroidery and logo printing are both available; ask when ordering.

Is it warm enough to wear on its own in winter?

It is not thermal rated, so on its own it is not designed for cold-weather warmth - it is built for visibility and breathability, and works well layered under a jacket in colder months.
