Product Overview
The Modaflame Knit Hi-Vis FR Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a sophisticated solution for professionals operating in environments where flame resistance and high visibility are non-negotiable. This garment offers a refined alternative to traditional heavy workwear, utilizing a specialized modacrylic blend that provides inherent protection without the bulk. Its design prioritizes safety while maintaining a professional aesthetic, featuring a concealed button opening that reduces the risk of snagging or heat transfer.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The fabric composition ensures that protective qualities are built into the fibers, meaning they will not wash out or diminish over time.
- High-Visibility Reflective Strips: Integrated strips ensure the wearer remains visible in low-light conditions, meeting essential safety requirements for hazardous sites.
- Concealed Front Button Opening: Provides a streamlined, professional appearance while ensuring no exposed plastic or metal interferes with the garment's protective integrity.
- Contrast Collar and Cuffs: Adds a touch of professional distinction and helps to mask soilage in high-contact areas, extending the time between washes.
Design & Performance
Constructed from Modaflame Knit HV fabric, this polo shirt is engineered for both durability and comfort. The blend of 60% modacrylic and 39% cotton creates a lightweight fabric that feels soft against the skin and allows for significant breathability during active shifts. The inclusion of 1% carbon fibre is a technical addition designed to manage static, further enhancing its suitability for sensitive work environments.
The long-sleeve design offers extended coverage, providing an additional layer of protection for the arms. Despite its protective capabilities, the fabric remains flexible, ensuring that movement is not restricted when performing complex tasks. This is a garment designed for those who require the performance of technical PPE with the comfort of a standard polo shirt.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a unified and professional image, the Modaflame Knit Polo can be fully customised. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names on the chest, providing a permanent, high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering. For larger, more prominent branding on the back, our advanced printing techniques provide a sharp, clear finish that remains flexible with the knit of the fabric.

Use Cases
This garment is ideal for workers in the utilities, petrochemical, and rail industries, where multi-norm protection is often a site requirement. It serves as an excellent primary layer in temperate conditions or as a technical base layer beneath flame-resistant outerwear during colder months.

Practical Advice
For the best fit, we recommend selecting your standard size, though the lightweight nature of this fabric makes it particularly effective when worn as part of a layering system. If you are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor environments, this polo provides a versatile middle ground that prevents overheating while maintaining full safety compliance.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your flame-resistant clothing is vital for continued safety. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at higher temperatures may cause unnecessary stress to the modacrylic fibers and potentially affect the garment's shape.
It is essential that you do not use bleach, as this will chemically damage the fibers and compromise the flame-resistant properties of the fabric. Similarly, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can leave residues that may interfere with the garment's performance.
To ensure the longevity of the reflective strips and the fabric itself, do not tumble dry this item. Instead, we recommend line drying. If ironing is necessary, use a low setting not exceeding 110°C to avoid heat damage to the synthetic components of the knit.
