Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Cotton Comfort Polo Shirt L/S is a well-engineered garment designed to provide a professional appearance without sacrificing the wearer's comfort during long shifts. This long-sleeved polo shirt utilizes a specialised cotton-rich fabric that bridges the gap between high-visibility safety requirements and the breathable feel of natural fibres. Finished in a high-visibility orange, it ensures maximum presence in low-light environments while maintaining a smart, structured silhouette suitable for client-facing site visits or active manual work.
Key Features
- Cotton Comfort Fabric: The blend of 55% cotton and 45% polyester offers the breathability of natural fibres against the skin with the external durability required for industrial use.
- HiVisTex Reflective Tape: High-performance reflective tape is strategically applied to ensure excellent visibility, aiding in safety compliance on-site.
- Long-Sleeve Design: Provides additional coverage and protection against the elements or abrasive surfaces, making it an ideal choice for transitional seasons.
- Breathable Knit: The lightweight knit construction allows for efficient moisture management, keeping the wearer cool and dry under pressure.
Design & Performance
The technical merit of this polo shirt lies in its dual-layered fabric construction. By placing the cotton on the interior and the polyester on the exterior, the garment manages to be exceptionally soft against the skin while remaining resistant to the snags and pilling often associated with high-use workwear. This lightweight fabric is specifically chosen for its ability to maintain its shape and colour after repeated use, ensuring your team looks as professional at the end of the week as they did at the start.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is particularly effective on this knit fabric for adding company logos or staff names, providing a textured, superior finish that withstands the rigours of the workplace. For larger, more vibrant graphics or back-branding, our technical print processes ensure high-clarity designs that move with the fabric. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is designed for professionals in sectors such as construction, logistics, and rail, where orange high-visibility clothing is often a site requirement. It serves as an excellent primary layer for those who find standard polyester hi-vis shirts uncomfortable, offering a skin-friendly alternative for all-day wear.

Practical Advice
This polo shirt features a regular fit, providing enough room for comfortable movement without being overly baggy.

We recommend checking our size guide to ensure the best fit for your team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and fabric integrity of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Exceeding this temperature can damage the reflective tape and degrade the cotton fibres over time.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the high-visibility orange dye and weaken the fabric structure. The garment should not be tumble dried; instead, we advise drip line drying to preserve the garment's shape and prevent shrinkage.
Ironing should be strictly avoided. Heat from an iron can melt the reflective HiVisTex tape and damage the synthetic components of the fabric blend. Additionally, this item is not suitable for dry cleaning. Please note that the garment is certified for a maximum of 50 washes; beyond this, the reflective properties may no longer meet the required safety standards.
