Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Lightweight Contrast Polo Shirt is a sophisticated solution for professionals requiring high-visibility protection without the bulk of traditional workwear. Engineered specifically for warm working conditions, this garment prioritises wearer comfort and temperature regulation. The thoughtful inclusion of contrast navy panels not only provides a modern aesthetic but serves the practical purpose of hiding dirt in high-contact areas, ensuring your team maintains a professional appearance throughout the working day.
Key Features
- 100% Polyester Bird Eye Knit: This technical weave is specifically designed to facilitate air circulation and moisture wicking, keeping the wearer cool and dry.
- EN ISO 20471 Class 1 Certification: Provides a verified level of visibility, making it suitable for environments where safety is a priority but Class 2 or 3 is not strictly mandated.
- Contrast Navy Panels: These panels are strategically placed to mask grime and oil, extending the time the garment looks clean between washes.
- Short Sleeve Design: Offers maximum freedom of movement and ventilation, essential for physically demanding roles in summer months.
Design & Performance
Performance is built into the fabric of the S175 model. Utilising a lightweight Bird Eye knit, the material is significantly more breathable than standard pique cotton or heavy synthetic alternatives. This construction is not just about comfort; it is built to be longer-lasting than many competing products, retaining its shape and colour even after rigorous daily use. The fabric feels soft against the skin, reducing the risk of chafing during long shifts, while the robust stitching ensures the garment stands up to the demands of a busy workplace.
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 the preferred choice for a superior, professional look; it is ideal for company logos and individual names, providing a durable finish that survives frequent industrial laundering. For those requiring larger, high-impact branding or promotional messaging, our high-quality printing process offers vibrant results that stand out against the high-visibility yellow.
Our expert team in Telford has been handling garment customisation since 1976. We manage the entire process in-house, ensuring that every logo is applied with the precision and care that your brand deserves.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for workers in logistics, warehouse management, and delivery services. It is also a popular choice for site supervisors and tradespeople working in environments where Class 1 visibility provides the necessary safety margin while the lightweight fabric prevents overheating.

Practical Advice
As this is a lightweight garment, it serves as a perfect base layer in a multi-layered system. During cooler mornings, it can be easily paired with a high-visibility fleece or softshell jacket. When selecting your size, we recommend choosing your standard fit to ensure the reflective tapes sit correctly on the body without being overly restrictive.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and fabric integrity of your polo shirt, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a mild process. Excessive heat during washing can damage the polyester fibres and degrade the reflective tape, potentially compromising your safety on site.
Do not use bleach on this garment, as it will strip the fluorescent pigment and weaken the fabric structure. To dry, we advise a drip line dry approach; do not tumble dry, as the intense heat of a machine can cause shrinkage and may damage any custom embroidery or print work.
This shirt should not be ironed, as synthetic fabrics and reflective tapes are heat-sensitive and may melt. Similarly, do not dry clean this item. Please be aware that this garment has a maximum limit of 50 washes; beyond this point, the high-visibility performance may fall below the certified standards.
