Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Cotton Comfort Long Sleeved T-Shirt is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require high visibility without sacrificing personal comfort. By utilizing an innovative Cotton Comfort fabric blend, this T-shirt provides a breathable experience that is often lacking in standard polyester workwear. The long-sleeve design offers essential full-arm protection, making it a versatile choice for variable British weather and hazardous work environments where skin coverage is a safety requirement.
Key Features
- Cotton Comfort Fabric: The 55% cotton and 45% polyester knit blend ensures the garment feels soft against the skin while remaining durable enough for daily trade use.
- High Visibility Orange: The vibrant orange colour ensures you remain conspicuous in low-light conditions, meeting essential safety requirements for high-risk sites.
- Long Sleeved Protection: Provides extended coverage for the arms, offering a barrier against the sun and minor abrasions on the job.
- Durable Knit Construction: The fabric is designed to withstand the rigours of a manual working day while maintaining its shape and professional appearance.
Design & Performance
The performance of this T-shirt lies in its dual-layered approach. The interior of the fabric is predominantly cotton, which draws moisture away from the skin and provides a natural, soft feel. The exterior is composed of durable polyester, which helps the garment retain its high-visibility colour and provides the structural integrity needed to survive a demanding shift. The lightweight fabric ensures you don't overheat, yet the knit construction feels substantial enough to offer a sense of quality and longevity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is an excellent choice for smaller logos or staff names, providing a textured, professional finish that lasts the lifetime of the garment. For larger, more impactful designs on the back or chest, our high-quality printing process ensures bold visibility without compromising the fabric's breathability. Every piece is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your branding is applied with precision.
Use Cases
This long-sleeved T-shirt is an essential equipment choice for professionals in the construction, logistics, and roadside assistance sectors. It is particularly useful for site workers who require high visibility but prefer the feel of natural fibres over purely synthetic materials. It serves effectively as a standalone piece in warmer months or as a comfortable base layer when the temperature drops.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider whether this will be worn as a primary layer or over other clothing. The Cotton Comfort blend has a natural give, but for those who prefer a looser fit for active movement, we recommend checking our size guide carefully. The long sleeves are finished to sit comfortably at the wrist, ensuring they do not interfere with gloves or tools.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of this T-shirt, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can degrade the cotton fibres and cause the orange pigment to fade prematurely.
Do not use bleach on this garment, as it will chemically strip the high-visibility dye and weaken the fabric. We also advise against tumble drying; instead, use drip line drying to ensure the T-shirt retains its original shape and fit. Avoid ironing the garment, as direct heat can damage the polyester fibres and any applied print or embroidery.
Please note that this garment has a maximum service life of 50 washes. Beyond this point, the high-visibility properties may no longer meet the required safety standards, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection on site.
