Product Overview
The S178 High Visibility Long Sleeved T-Shirt is a technical solution for professionals who require maximum visibility without sacrificing comfort. Engineered from a lightweight polyester bird-eye knit, this garment is designed to keep the wearer cool and dry during demanding shifts. The long-sleeve design provides additional coverage while the vibrant orange hue ensures you remain prominent in various working environments.
Key Features
- High Visibility Protection: Designed for maximum visibility, ensuring you are easily seen in busy or low-light work zones.
- Moisture-Wicking Fabric: The bird-eye knit construction pulls moisture away from the skin, promoting evaporation and keeping you comfortable throughout the day.
- Taped Neck Seam: Provides additional comfort against the skin and prevents irritation during repetitive movements.
- Generous Fit: Carefully cut to allow for a full range of motion, which is essential for active roles on-site.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester bird-eye knit, this t-shirt is both breathable and durable. The fabric's structure allows for superior airflow, which is particularly beneficial when working in high-temperature environments or during strenuous physical activity. Despite its lightweight feel, the material is resilient enough to withstand the daily rigours of industrial work. The inclusion of long sleeves offers a consistent layer of protection and visibility across the arms, making it a versatile alternative to standard short-sleeved options.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names, which adds a premium feel to your team's uniform. If you require large, bold branding across the back, our high-quality print process is the ideal choice. All customisation is handled at our specialist facility in Telford, where our team leverages decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented perfectly.
Use Cases
The S178 is ideally suited for workers in construction, logistics, and road maintenance. Its moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent choice for outdoor summer work, while the long sleeves provide the necessary visibility requirements for sites that mandate full-arm coverage. It is also a practical choice for warehouse staff who need to remain visible and comfortable in temperature-controlled environments.

Practical Advice
Because this t-shirt features a generous fit, it can be comfortably worn as a standalone piece in warmer weather or as a moisture-wicking base layer beneath a fleece or high-visibility jacket during the winter months. If you are between sizes, the generous cut typically allows for a more relaxed fit, providing better ventilation.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High temperatures can damage the synthetic fibres and cause premature fading of the fluorescent colour.
Do not use bleach, as this will compromise the reflective properties and the strength of the polyester fabric. The garment should be line dried rather than tumble dried to prevent shrinkage and to protect the structure of the bird-eye knit.
Avoid ironing the t-shirt entirely, as direct heat from an iron can melt the polyester and damage any printed or embroidered logos. Finally, please note that this garment has a maximum limit of 50 washes; exceeding this can lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of the high-visibility elements.
