Product Overview
The PW3 Modaflame Knit Hi-Vis FR Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is a sophisticated piece of protective equipment designed for those who require both high visibility and inherent flame resistance. Part of the contemporary PW3 range by Portwest, this polo shirt bridges the gap between technical safety wear and professional corporate styling. Unlike standard safety garments, this long-sleeved shirt is constructed from a specialised cotton-blend knit that provides a natural feel against the skin while maintaining rigorous safety standards. It is an essential garment for professionals working in environments where heat, flame, and low visibility are daily considerations.
Key Features
- Inherent Flame Resistance: The fabric's protective qualities are built into the fibres, meaning the flame-resistant performance will not diminish over time or through repeated laundering.
- High-Visibility Protection: The bright fluorescent fabric and reflective detailing ensure the wearer remains visible to colleagues and vehicle operators in low-light or complex backgrounds.
- Cotton-Blend Construction: By blending cotton into the knit, the garment offers significantly better breathability and moisture-management than purely synthetic alternatives.
- Long Sleeve Design: Provides extended coverage for the arms, offering an extra layer of protection against environmental factors and heat.
- Contrast Panelling: Strategically placed darker panels help to maintain a clean appearance by concealing dirt and stains in high-contact areas.
Design & Performance
The engineering behind the PW3 Modaflame polo shirt focuses on durability without sacrificing comfort. The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to feel protective and hold its shape, yet light enough to prevent overheating during active shifts. The knit construction allows for a natural stretch, ensuring that movement is not restricted when reaching or lifting on the job.
The design follows the modern PW3 aesthetic, featuring a clean silhouette that looks as professional in a briefing room as it does on a site. The ribbed cuffs help keep the sleeves in place, preventing them from catching on equipment or interfering with hand tools. This is a well-engineered garment that understands the practical demands of the UK workforce.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation to ensure your team presents a unified, professional image.
Embroidery is an excellent choice for logos and staff names, delivering a textured, premium appearance that is highly durable. It is particularly well-suited to this flame-resistant fabric as it stands up to repeated industrial or domestic washing without fading or losing its shape. For those requiring larger, bolder designs or a wider spectrum of vibrant colours, our printing service provides a sharp and clear finish. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is specifically designed for professionals in the utilities, energy, and petrochemical sectors, or any industry where EN-certified flame resistance and high visibility are mandatory. It is equally suitable for trackside workers or site managers who require a professional appearance that meets strict safety protocols. The unisex fit makes it a versatile option for outfitting entire diverse teams.

Practical Advice
We offer this garment in a broad range of sizes from Small to XXXL. Given the technical nature of the fabric, we recommend reviewing your team's measurements to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for full range of motion. For those working in fluctuating temperatures, this polo shirt serves as an excellent mid-layer or standalone piece, depending on the specific safety requirements of your site.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and safety integrity of your flame-resistant garment is vital for its longevity. We recommend strictly following the guidance provided on the internal care label to ensure the fabric's protective properties remain intact.
When washing, avoid the use of industrial bleaches or hydrogen peroxide. These chemicals can degrade the flame-resistant fibres and significantly reduce the protective lifespan of the garment. Similarly, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and potentially mask the flame-resistant treatment or affect the garment's breathability.
To preserve the reflective tape and custom branding, it is advisable to wash the garment inside out and avoid excessively high drying temperatures. Neglecting these steps may cause the reflective elements to crack or the customisation to lose its professional finish prematurely.
