Product Overview
The ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Polo Shirt L/S is engineered to provide a superior alternative to standard safety wear. While many entry-level garments sacrifice comfort for compliance, this long-sleeved polo utilises a high-quality bird-eye knit construction. This ensures the wearer remains visible and professional without the restrictive or abrasive feel often associated with synthetic workwear. Designed specifically for environments where both high visibility and arm coverage are paramount, it serves as a reliable cornerstone for any safety uniform.
Key Features
- 100% Polyester Bird Eye Knit: This technical weave promotes airflow and manages moisture, keeping the wearer cool and dry during active shifts.
- Long Sleeve Design: Provides extended visibility and essential arm coverage, meeting various site safety requirements.
- High-Contrast Orange: Ensures maximum visibility in hazardous environments or low-light conditions for enhanced safety.
- Thoughtful Construction: Engineered with details that ensure a longer-lasting garment compared to leading competitors.
Design & Performance
The performance of this garment is rooted in its lightweight bird-eye knit fabric. This material is specifically chosen for its breathability, making it an ideal choice for warmer working conditions or high-intensity tasks where temperature regulation is critical. Unlike standard flat-knit polyester, the bird-eye structure allow for superior air circulation against the skin. The construction is robust yet flexible, designed to withstand the daily rigours of industrial use while maintaining its shape and colour over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Polo is an excellent canvas for your corporate branding. For a sophisticated and enduring professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for your company logo or staff names. This method provides a textured, premium finish that conveys authority and stands up well to repeated laundering.
Alternatively, if you require large-scale graphics or bold identification on the reverse of the garment, our high-quality print services are an ideal option. All customisation is managed in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on MyWorkwear’s expertise since 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision and care.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved hi-vis polo is perfectly suited for professionals in construction, civil engineering, and logistics. It is particularly effective for site supervisors and operatives who require full-arm coverage for safety compliance but prefer the breathability of a polo shirt over a heavier sweatshirt. It is equally essential for roadside recovery or warehouse environments where maintaining a high visual profile is a non-negotiable safety requirement.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that this polo is designed for a comfortable, regular fit to allow for ease of movement. For those working in variable climates, it layers exceptionally well under a high-visibility waistcoat or waterproof jacket without adding unnecessary bulk. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures it remains comfortable even when worn as a base layer.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and structural integrity of this garment, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. Maintaining the cleanliness of the garment ensures the reflective elements remain unobstructed and effective.
A domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process is recommended. This prevents the degradation of the polyester fibres and protects the vibrancy of the orange dye. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will irreparably damage the colour and weaken the fabric structure.
The garment should not be tumble dried; instead, line drying is required to preserve the fit and ensure the reflective tapes do not peel or crack. Do not iron or dry clean this polo shirt, as the application of high heat or harsh chemicals will damage the bird-eye knit and the safety components. Please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes; beyond this, the visibility standards may be compromised, and the garment should be replaced.
