Product Overview
The PW3 Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is a sophisticated alternative to standard safety wear, blending high-visibility requirements with a contemporary design aesthetic. Part of the renowned Portwest PW3 range, this crew neck sweatshirt is engineered for those who require both safety and a modern silhouette. It features a distinctive contrast of orange and black, ensuring the wearer remains conspicuous in busy environments while maintaining a professional image.
Key Features
- HiVisTex Pro Reflective Tape: This segmented tape allows for greater freedom of movement and breathability compared to traditional solid tapes, ensuring you aren't restricted during physical tasks.
- Contrast Panels: Strategically placed black panels in areas prone to dirt help keep the garment looking clean and professional throughout the working day.
- Roomy Fit: Designed with a generous cut, this sweatshirt facilitates easy movement and allows for layering over base garments without feeling restrictive.
- Soft-Touch Fabric: The polyester and cotton blend provides a soft interior finish, offering all-day comfort for the wearer.
Design & Performance
This sweatshirt is constructed from a medium-weight fabric composed of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific blend is chosen for its performance characteristics; the polyester provides essential durability and colour retention, while the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable and comfortable against the skin. The fabric is sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of a manual working environment without losing its shape.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The PW3 Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is an excellent canvas for your corporate identity. For a sophisticated and durable finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. If you require larger, high-impact branding across the back or chest, our printing services offer a bold and clear result. All customisation is handled in-house by our expert team in Telford, drawing on our heritage that dates back to 1976 to ensure your branding is applied with precision.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for professionals in the construction, logistics, and transport sectors. Its high-visibility properties make it essential for site work, while its modern styling makes it appropriate for warehouse management and delivery roles where a professional appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
Given the roomy fit of this sweatshirt, it serves as an ideal mid-layer during colder months. When choosing your size, consider what you intend to wear underneath; however, most find their standard size provides ample room for movement.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of high-visibility clothing is vital for safety. We recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High temperatures can compromise the adhesive and reflective properties of the HiVisTex Pro tape.
Do not use bleach when cleaning this garment. Bleach will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the high-visibility orange pigment to fade, rendering the safety features less effective.
This sweatshirt should be drip line dried only. Do not tumble dry, as the intense heat and mechanical agitation can cause the reflective segments to peel or crack over time. If ironing is required, use a maximum temperature of 150°C and ensure you do not iron directly over the reflective tape.
Please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes. Beyond this point, the reflective materials may no longer meet the required safety standards for visibility, and the garment should be replaced to ensure continued protection.
