Product Overview
The ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Polo Shirt S/S is a well-engineered garment that prioritises both safety and wearer comfort. Unlike standard high-visibility options, this polo shirt features thoughtful construction details that ensure it is more comfortable and longer-lasting than many leading competitors. Designed specifically for warmer working conditions, it provides a professional appearance while ensuring the wearer remains conspicuous and cool during demanding shifts.
Key Features
- High-visibility orange colour ensures maximum visibility in hazardous environments, assisting with site safety compliance.
- Advanced Bird Eye Knit fabric structure promotes exceptional breathability, allowing heat to escape and keeping the wearer comfortable.
- Lightweight polyester construction reduces physical strain and bulk, making it an excellent choice for active roles.
- Short sleeve design provides essential ventilation, which is vital for maintaining a steady core temperature in summer months.
Design & Performance
The core of this garment's performance lies in its 100% polyester Bird Eye Knit fabric. This specific knit pattern is designed to wick moisture away from the skin and move it to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly. This process is essential for preventing the 'clammy' feeling often associated with synthetic materials, ensuring you remain dry and focused on the task at hand.
Despite its lightweight feel, the fabric is remarkably resilient. It is built to maintain its structural integrity and vibrant orange hue even after repeated wear in demanding industrial settings. The regular fit allows for sufficient airflow between the garment and the body, further enhancing the cooling effect of the Bird Eye Knit.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is perfectly suited for customisation, allowing your team to maintain a unified and professional appearance. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team has been perfecting the art of garment customisation since 1976, ensuring every logo is applied with precision.
For a superior, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names. The stable nature of the polyester knit provides an excellent foundation for high-quality stitching. For those requiring larger, more vibrant branding, our printing services offer a bold and flexible alternative. Both methods are handled in-house to ensure that your custom branding does not compromise the garment's safety performance.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is an essential piece of equipment for professionals in construction, logistics, roadside assistance, and warehousing. It is particularly effective for outdoor site work during the summer or for staff operating in high-temperature indoor environments where traditional heavy-duty workwear would be impractical.

Practical Advice
For the best results, we recommend choosing your standard size, as this 4XL garment is designed with a regular fit to facilitate air circulation. During cooler morning starts, this lightweight polo works exceptionally well as a moisture-wicking base layer underneath a high-visibility sweatshirt or jacket, providing versatile protection throughout the day.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and safety standards of your hi-vis polo shirt, it is important to follow the care instructions precisely. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the synthetic fibers and lead to premature fading of the high-visibility pigment.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleaching agents will destroy the fluorescent orange dye and weaken the polyester fibers, rendering the garment unsafe and non-compliant with visibility standards.
This item should be line dried and must not be tumble dried. High heat from a tumble dryer can cause shrinkage and may negatively affect the integrity of the reflective materials. Furthermore, do not iron this garment, as the heat from an iron will melt the polyester knit fabric.
Finally, please be aware that this garment has a maximum limit of 50 washes. After this point, the high-visibility properties may be reduced, and for your safety, the garment should be replaced to ensure you remain fully protected on the job.
