The Portwest hi-vis shorts are the ideal choice for professionals who need cooling and optimal visibility during work in the summer. These hi-vis shorts combine a lightweight polycotton fabric with functional features, making them excellent for active workdays in warm conditions. Thanks to the reflective striping, you always remain highly visible on the work floor.
For which work tasks are these Portwest hi-vis shorts most suitable?
These hi-vis shorts are eminently suitable for outdoor work in road construction, logistics, and installation technology during hot summer days. Thanks to the light polycotton fabric, the shorts offer optimal breathability and plenty of freedom of movement for active tasks.
The fabric is also treated with a stain-resistant Texpel finish that effectively repels water and dirt. This keeps the clothing clean and professional-looking for longer, even under demanding work conditions on the construction site or during transport tasks.
What does the EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certification mean for these hi-vis shorts?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certification indicates that these hi-vis shorts meet the basic requirements for high-visibility clothing. This makes the shorts suitable for lower-risk situations or as a supplement to Class 2 or 3 clothing.
