Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Cotton Comfort Contrast Polo Shirt S/S is a sophisticated reconstruction of the widely utilised S171 style. This garment has been engineered to offer a professional two-tone aesthetic while maintaining high standards of visibility and user comfort. By integrating a cotton-rich fabric blend, this polo shirt provides a superior alternative to fully synthetic safety garments, ensuring the wearer remains cool and comfortable throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Cotton Comfort Fabric: The blend of natural and synthetic fibres provides a soft feel against the skin while maintaining the durability required for industrial use.
- Enhanced Visibility: The high-visibility fluorescent panels ensure the wearer remains easily seen in hazardous environments or low-light conditions.
- Contrast Panelling: The strategically placed navy sections help to hide dirt and stains in high-contact areas, keeping the garment looking professional for longer.
- Breathable Knit: The lightweight knit construction allows for efficient moisture management and airflow, which is essential for physically demanding roles.
Design & Performance
This polo shirt is manufactured from a specialised knit fabric composed of 55% cotton and 45% polyester. This specific construction is designed with the cotton on the interior for a soft, natural feel against the skin, and the polyester on the exterior to ensure high-visibility colour retention and hard-wearing performance. The result is a garment that handles the daily rigours of the workplace without the irritation often caused by synthetic fabrics.
The short-sleeved design and regular fit allow for a full range of movement, making it an ideal choice for active tradespeople. The contrast collar and navy lower panels add a touch of style to a functional safety item, ensuring you look the part whether you are on-site or in a client-facing meeting.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery

Practical Advice
The regular fit of this polo shirt makes it easy to wear as a standalone piece in warm weather or as a comfortable layer under a jacket when temperatures drop. When choosing your size, consider that the high-visibility tape has less give than the main fabric, so a slightly roomier fit is often preferred for active roles.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment continues to provide maximum visibility and comfort, it is vital to follow the care instructions. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures may degrade the high-visibility dyes and the structural integrity of the cotton fibres.
Do not use bleach or any harsh chemical cleaning agents, as these will likely damage the reflective properties of the tape and the overall colour of the shirt. This item is not suitable for dry cleaning.
For drying, the garment should be drip-lined dried only. Avoid the use of a tumble dryer, as the heat can cause shrinkage and may warp the reflective elements. Furthermore, do not iron this polo shirt, as direct heat can melt the synthetic components and damage the safety features.
Please be aware that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes. After this point, the reflective materials may no longer meet the necessary safety standards, and for your continued protection, the garment should be retired and replaced.
