Description
The Portwest thermal T-shirt (B120) is a short-sleeved base layer made from a 50% polyester and 50% cotton blend with a weight of 200 g/m². The shirt is designed for workers who work in cooler conditions and need a comfortable first layer under their workwear. The polyester-cotton blend combines moisture management with a pleasant feel.
For what type of work or conditions is the Portwest B120 thermal T-shirt suitable?
The Portwest B120 is suitable for work in cooler spaces or outdoors where a lightweight insulating base layer is needed under regular workwear.
Think of warehouse and logistics workers, construction workers, or technicians who regularly move between indoors and outdoors. The shirt functions as the first layer in a multi-layer clothing system: it maintains body temperature without being too heavy or thick. The short sleeves also make it suitable for moderately cool conditions where full arm coverage is not necessary.
When should you choose the Portwest B120 thermal T-shirt instead of a long-sleeved model?
Choose the B120 with short sleeves when you need upper-body insulation but need to maintain freedom of movement in your arms or when your arms are already protected by another layer of clothing.
A long-sleeved model retains more heat throughout the entire arm but can be cumbersome or too warm for certain tasks. The B120 is therefore a practical choice for situations where the working environment varies or where gloves and the sleeves of an outer layer already provide arm protection. This makes the shirt highly versatile.
The shirt can be washed at a maximum of 40°C and ironed at a maximum of 150°C. Do not tumble dry; line drying is recommended.
