This makes it suitable for outdoor work involving prolonged exposure to the sun.
For what type of work or industry is the Portwest B212 long-sleeved polo shirt suitable?
The B212 is suitable for a variety of sectors, including construction, landscaping, logistics, and facility management, as well as office-based and service-oriented roles.
The long sleeves offer extra protection against the sun and minor abrasions compared to a short-sleeved model. The polycotton blend ensures comfortable wear throughout the working day while giving the shirt a smart appearance. This makes it suitable for use both as workwear and in more representative work environments.
What does UPF 40+ mean for the Portwest B212 polo shirt, and when should you choose this model?
UPF 40+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 97.5 percent of ultraviolet radiation, making the shirt suitable for outdoor work where the skin is exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

The polycotton blend is breathable enough for active outdoor work, while the 210 g/m² weight provides sufficient durability and good shape retention after repeated washing.
The shirt can be washed at up to 60°C and ironed at a maximum of 150°C, making it easy to care for and suitable for everyday use.
