Product Overview
The Bizflame 88/12 Hi-Vis FR Shirt is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who operate in environments where flame resistance and high visibility are non-negotiable. This lightweight shirt provides a practical alternative to heavier jackets while maintaining a high level of protection. Constructed from a specialised blend of cotton and nylon, it offers a spacious and comfortable fit that does not compromise on safety standards, ensuring you remain visible and protected throughout your shift.
Key Features
- Certified High Visibility: Meets the EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standard, ensuring maximum visibility for the wearer in low-light or hazardous conditions.
- Permanent Flame Resistance: The flame-resistant properties are guaranteed for the entire life of the garment, providing long-term peace of mind without the worry of protection washing away.
- Action Back Design: Features integrated pleats in the back to allow for a full range of movement, preventing the fabric from pulling when reaching or lifting.
- Extra Long Shirt Tail: Designed with an extended hem to ensure the shirt remains securely tucked into trousers, maintaining a professional appearance and consistent protection.
- Lightweight Fabric Composition: The fabric choice ensures the wearer remains cool and comfortable without sacrificing the durability required for industrial work.
Design & Performance
The performance of this shirt lies in the Bizflame 88/12 fabric technology. By blending 88% cotton with 12% nylon, the garment achieves a balance between comfort and resilience. The high cotton content provides an ultra-soft handle against the skin, which is essential for long shifts, while the addition of nylon significantly increases the fabric's abrasion and tear resistance. This means the shirt is less likely to snag or wear thin in high-friction areas.
Functionality is further enhanced by the spacious fit. It is designed to allow air to circulate, which, combined with the lightweight nature of the material, helps regulate body temperature. The inclusion of the action back is a thoughtful design choice, acknowledging that a tradesperson's job often involves awkward angles and constant movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Ensuring your team looks cohesive is straightforward with our customisation services. This shirt is suitable for both embroidery and print, both of which are handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. For a traditional, professional appearance that withstands frequent laundering, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. If your branding requires large, bold graphics that need to stand out against the high-visibility background, our high-quality printing process is an excellent choice. Our team, established in 1976, ensures that every logo is applied with precision, maintaining the garment's integrity and your professional image.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically designed for workers in the utilities, oil and gas, and construction sectors where there is a combined risk of heat, flame, and low visibility. It is an ideal choice for site managers, engineers, and technicians who require a professional-looking shirt that meets stringent safety regulations while working in demanding outdoor or industrial environments.

Practical Advice
Given the spacious fit of the FR95, you may find it comfortable to wear over a lightweight base layer during cooler months. When choosing your size, consider that the extra-long tail is designed to stay tucked in, so there is no need to size up for length. We recommend checking the fit while performing a reaching motion to fully appreciate the benefits of the action back.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the structural integrity of the flame-resistant fabric, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. Proper maintenance ensures the garment continues to meet safety standards for its intended lifespan.
We recommend a normal process wash at a maximum temperature of 60°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the reflective tape and potentially degrade the nylon fibres within the fabric blend.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Oxidising agents like bleach will destroy the flame-resistant treatment and weaken the fabric, rendering the shirt unsafe for use in hazardous environments.
If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting. High heat in the drying cycle can cause excessive shrinkage and may affect the adhesive used on the reflective strips. For best results, iron at a maximum temperature of 150°C to remove creases while avoiding damage to the synthetic components of the fabric. Do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process can interfere with the flame-resistant properties.
