Key Features
- 100% Recycled Polyester: Utilises sustainable materials to reduce environmental impact while maintaining a professional appearance.
- Bird Eye Knit Construction: The specialized knit pattern enhances airflow and moisture management, keeping the wearer cool during active shifts.
- 4cm Side Seam Tape Gap: A strategic break in the reflective tape allows the fabric to stretch naturally, providing significantly better comfort and freedom of movement than traditional rigid tape.
- Improved Slim Fit: A contemporary cut that offers a more tailored look without restricting the wearer's range of motion.
- Classic Short Sleeve Design: Ideal for warm environments or as a core component of a layered workwear system.
Design & Performance
Performance in high-visibility apparel is as much about comfort as it is about safety. The EC10 uses a Bird Eye knit, which is a lightweight fabric specifically designed for its moisture-wicking properties. By drawing perspiration away from the skin, it helps regulate body temperature, which is a welcome relief when working under the sun or in high-intensity environments. The inclusion of a 4cm gap in the reflective tape at the side seams is a subtle but vital design choice; it permits the garment to expand and contract with the wearer's movements, preventing that restrictive 'squeezing' feeling often found in lower-quality high-visibility clothing.
Why No Customisation?
This product is supplied as a ready-to-wear six-pack to ensure immediate availability and consistency across your workforce. In the world of high-visibility PPE, maintaining the integrity of the original safety certification is paramount. By providing these garments without customisation, we ensure that the fluorescent surface area and reflective tape placements remain exactly as intended by the safety engineers. This allows for rapid dispatch, ensuring your team is compliant and protected the moment the delivery arrives.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is specifically designed for workers in construction, transport, and logistics who need to remain visible to vehicles and heavy machinery. Its breathable nature makes it particularly suitable for outdoor work during the summer months or for indoor warehouse roles where temperature regulation is a constant challenge. Given its professional slim fit, it is also a popular choice for site managers and supervisors who need to balance safety requirements with a smart appearance.

Practical Advice
As this garment features an improved slim fit, we recommend checking your measurements against our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit. If you find yourself between sizes, opting for the larger size may provide a more relaxed feel, especially if you intend to wear a lightweight base layer underneath during transitional weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and visibility of this polo shirt, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a maximum wash temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the recycled polyester fibres and cause the reflective tape to lose its luminosity over time.
Bleaching must be avoided, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the fluorescent orange pigment, eventually rendering the garment non-compliant with safety regulations. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried or ironed. High heat from these appliances can melt the synthetic Bird Eye knit and ruin the reflective elements. For the best results, line dry the garment immediately after washing.
Please be aware that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes. After this point, the reflective properties may diminish below the required safety thresholds, and we advise replacing the garment to ensure your safety and compliance are never compromised.
