Product Overview
The DX4 Hi-Vis Zip Polo Shirt L/S is a technically advanced garment designed for the modern professional who requires high visibility without compromising on comfort or range of motion. Engineered with an active fit, this long-sleeved polo shirt prioritises the wearer's physical requirements throughout a demanding workday. The integration of premium cooling fabrics ensures that even during strenuous tasks, moisture management is handled efficiently, keeping the wearer dry and focused in various working conditions.
Key Features
- Premium cooling fabric: This material actively draws moisture away from the skin, promoting rapid evaporation to maintain a stable body temperature during physical exertion.
- Hivistex Pro segmented reflective tape: Unlike traditional solid tape, this heat-applied segmented design allows the fabric to stretch and move with your body, providing superior flexibility and visibility.
- Active fit: The tailored construction reduces excess fabric, providing a streamlined silhouette that minimises snagging risks while maintaining a professional appearance.
- Long sleeve design: Provides extended coverage and visibility across the arms, essential for high-risk environments and varying weather conditions.
- Zip neck fastening: Allows for adjustable ventilation and an easy transition between a formal closed collar and a more breathable open neck.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the core of the DX419. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures that the garment does not feel restrictive or cumbersome during long shifts. The choice of Orange and Black contrast panels is not merely aesthetic; it serves to protect high-wear areas from showing dirt, thereby extending the garment's visual longevity. The heat-applied Hivistex Pro tape is a significant technical upgrade, as it removes the need for heavy stitching that can sometimes cause skin irritation or reduce the elasticity of the shirt, ensuring the high-visibility elements move as you do.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The DX4 Hi-Vis Zip Polo Shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. For a distinctive professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names on the chest; our high-quality threads ensure the branding remains intact through frequent laundering. If you require large-scale, high-impact branding across the back, our precision printing methods offer a crisp, bold finish that maintains the shirt's lightweight feel without compromising visibility. Each customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly half a century of expertise established in 1976.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is ideal for sectors such as civil engineering, site management, and logistics where high visibility compliance is required. The active fit and breathable fabric make it particularly suitable for roles involving frequent movement, climbing, or operating machinery, where traditional, heavier workwear might prove restrictive.

Practical Advice
Due to the active fit nature of the DX4 range, the garment is designed to sit closer to the body than a traditional, boxy polo shirt. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to wear substantial base layers beneath it, you may wish to take this into account when selecting your size. The long sleeves offer excellent coverage in the summer while providing an effective layer under jackets during the winter months.
Caring for your product
To ensure the reflective properties and technical performance of your polo shirt remain at their peak, consistent and careful maintenance is essential. Neglecting proper care can lead to the degradation of the segmented tape and the cooling capabilities of the fabric.
Always refer to the internal care label for specific instructions to maintain the garment's integrity. Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent the build-up of dirt and oils, which can obscure the high-visibility elements and reduce safety. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals or bleaching agents, as these can break down the technical fibres and diminish the vibrancy of the orange fabric.
