Product Overview
The Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is an essential garment for professionals who require a balance between high-visibility safety and the breathable comfort of a traditional polo.

- Superior Colour Retention: The vibrant orange hue is designed to resist fading, ensuring you remain visible and compliant with safety standards on-site.
Design & Performance
Performance in workwear is often determined by the technicality of the fabric. The bird eye knit structure used in this polo shirt is not merely an aesthetic choice; it creates a textured surface that draws moisture away from the skin, facilitating rapid evaporation. This makes it a superior choice for physically demanding roles where temperature regulation is vital. The long sleeves offer a significant advantage for those working in variable conditions, providing an extra layer of protection against the elements and site debris without the bulk of a heavy sweatshirt.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your team's safety wear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a sophisticated, professional appearance, ideal for company logos or staff names on the chest. The sturdy knit fabric provides an excellent foundation for high-density stitching.
For larger, high-impact branding across the back, our precision printing process ensures your designs are bold and clearly visible. All customisation is handled at our specialised facility in Telford, where our expert team has been perfecting the art of workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is designed for professionals across various sectors including construction, logistics, and roadside maintenance. It is particularly effective for supervisors and site workers who need to transition between active outdoor tasks and indoor meetings while maintaining a sharp, uniform appearance. The high-visibility orange is essential for safety in environments with moving machinery or vehicle traffic.

Practical Advice
The lightweight nature of this fabric makes it an ideal base layer for colder months, fitting comfortably under a hi-vis bomber jacket or bodywarmer without restricting movement. When selecting your size, consider that the bird eye knit offers a structured fit; if you prefer a more relaxed feel for active manual labour, you may wish to consider the generous proportions of our larger size range.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of high-visibility garments is critical for ongoing safety compliance. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. Higher temperatures can degrade the technical fibres and the reflective properties of the garment.
To preserve the fabric's structure and the quality of your custom branding, do not use bleach and avoid tumble drying. Instead, the garment should be line dried. The application of direct heat from an iron should be avoided, as it can damage the polyester knit and any applied logos. This garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes, after which we recommend replacement to ensure you remain fully compliant with safety standards.
