Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit Hi-Vis Contrast FR Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a specialized garment designed for professionals who work in high-risk environments requiring both flame resistance and high visibility. This polo shirt blends a sophisticated appearance with rigorous safety features, ensuring that the wearer remains protected without compromising on a professional aesthetic. The long-sleeve design provides extended coverage, while the contrast Navy and Yellow colour scheme ensures visibility and helps hide soil in high-contact areas.
Key Features
- Concealed Front Button Placket: This design choice offers a clean, streamlined look and prevents the buttons from snagging on equipment or scratching sensitive surfaces while you work.
- Contrast Rib Collar and Cuffs: The ribbed construction provides a secure and comfortable fit at the neck and wrists, helping the garment maintain its professional shape even after extensive use.
- Multi-Norm Protection: Specifically engineered to provide exceptional flame-resistant properties, offering peace of mind for those working in sectors where heat or fire risks are present.
- High Visibility: The bright yellow fabric ensures you remain seen in low-light conditions, an essential requirement for safety on busy sites or near moving machinery.
Design & Performance
The garment is crafted from a medium-weight knit fabric composed of 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, and 1% Carbon Fibre. This blend is the secret to its performance; the modacrylic provides inherent flame resistance, the cotton ensures natural breathability and soft comfort for all-day wear, and the carbon fibre adds vital anti-static properties. Unlike treated fabrics, these protective qualities are part of the fibre itself, meaning they won't wash out over time.
The fit is designed for the active worker, allowing for a natural range of motion. Whether you are reaching, bending, or lifting, the knit fabric moves with you, reducing fatigue during long shifts. The contrast navy panels are strategically placed on the cuffs and collar to maintain a sharp appearance, even in demanding manual roles.

Practical Advice
This medium-weight long sleeve polo shirt is ideal for year-round use. In colder months, it serves as a perfect mid-layer under a flame-resistant jacket, providing an extra layer of protection and warmth. When choosing your size, ensure a comfortable fit that allows for base layers underneath if required, but remains close enough to the body to prevent any loose fabric from becoming a snag hazard.
Caring for your product
To preserve the protective qualities and the vibrancy of the high-visibility fabric, it is vital to follow the care instructions precisely. Maintaining your workwear correctly ensures it continues to meet safety standards for its entire lifespan.
We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the modacrylic fibres and cause the high-visibility pigments to degrade, reducing the effectiveness of the garment.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Bleach is a harsh chemical that will strip the flame-resistant properties from the fabric and weaken the integrity of the material, making it unsafe for use in hazardous environments.
This item should be line dried. Do not tumble dry, as the intense heat of a dryer can cause shrinkage and may damage the carbon fibres that provide anti-static protection. If ironing is required, use a maximum heat of 110°C; excessive heat from an iron can scorch the technical fibres.
Finally, do not dry clean this polo shirt. The solvents used in dry cleaning can interfere with the garment's protective finish. Proper laundering at home is the best way to ensure your equipment remains in top condition.
