Product Overview
The Hi-Vis T-Shirt (S478) is a professionally engineered garment designed to provide essential visibility without sacrificing comfort during warmer weather. Recognising the demands of high-activity roles, this short-sleeved shirt utilises a specialised knit to ensure you remain seen and ventilated on-site while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
Breathable Bird Eye Knit fabric allows for superior airflow, keeping the wearer cool during strenuous tasks in high temperatures.
High-visibility red colour ensures you stand out in busy or hazardous environments, supporting your workplace safety protocols.
The lightweight polyester construction provides a flexible, non-restrictive fit that moves with the body, reducing fatigue over long shifts.
Unbeatable wearer comfort is achieved through the soft-to-the-touch sports-type fabric, specifically designed for skin contact.
Design & Performance
Crafted from 100% polyester Bird Eye Knit, this T-shirt performs much like a high-performance sports garment. The open-weave structure of the fabric is designed to promote ventilation and moisture management, which is vital for maintaining focus on hot summer days. Unlike traditional heavy fabrics, this lightweight material allows heat to escape quickly. Despite its airy feel, the knit is resilient enough to withstand the rigours of daily work life, offering a practical balance between durability and ease of wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This T-shirt serves as an excellent canvas for your corporate identity. Embroidery is highly recommended for chest logos or staff names, providing a sophisticated and long-lasting finish that reflects a high standard of professionalism. Because the fabric is lightweight, our experts ensure the tension is perfectly balanced during the embroidery process. For larger, more vibrant graphics across the back, our printing service ensures your branding remains bold and legible. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on our heritage established in 1976 to ensure your logo is applied with precision and care.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for logistics staff, site supervisors, or any professional working in environments where being noticed is a safety requirement but heat management is a priority. It is particularly effective for outdoor summer work, high-heat indoor facilities, or as a more comfortable alternative to traditional hi-vis vests.

Practical Advice
For those working in variable conditions, this lightweight T-shirt serves as an ideal base layer under a high-visibility jacket or sweatshirt. Due to the sports-type nature of the Bird Eye Knit, the garment offers a standard fit; however, if you prefer a more relaxed feel for increased airflow, you may wish to consider your sizing requirements accordingly.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the technical structure of the Bird Eye Knit, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C on a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and lead to premature wear of the garment.
Do not use bleach under any circumstances, as this will compromise the vibrant red colour and significantly weaken the fabric's integrity. We also advise against tumble drying; instead, line dry the garment to prevent heat-induced shrinkage and ensure the shirt maintains its shape and fit over time.
This garment should not be ironed, as direct heat can melt the synthetic polyester fibres. Dry cleaning is also to be avoided to prevent chemical damage. Please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes, after which it should be replaced to ensure you remain fully compliant with safety visibility standards.
