Which specific tasks and sectors is this Portwest hi-vis polo suitable for?
This garment is ideal for road works, construction sites, and transport sectors where excellent visibility is required. The orange variant also complies with the strict RIS 3279 TOM Issue 2 standard, making it specifically approved for use in the British rail industry.
The breathable material and MeshAir mesh panels under the arms ensure constant airflow. This makes the shirt ideal for physically demanding work in warm conditions, where active cooling and comfort for the wearer are essential.
What does the EN ISO 20471 Class 2 rating mean for this hi-vis polo?
The EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification means that this hi-vis polo offers a medium level of protection through a prescribed surface area of reflective and fluorescent material. This makes the shirt suitable for work along roads with a speed limit of up to 50 kilometers per hour.
The reflection is applied via flexible, segmented heat-applied tape. As a result, the tape stretches with the fabric, which provides significantly more freedom of movement compared to traditional, rigid reflective tape.
The slim-fit design fits neatly without pinching. In addition, the fabric offers UPF 40 protection, which effectively blocks 98% of harmful UV radiation.
