Product Overview
The R413 RWS Hi-Vis T-shirt is a technically proficient garment designed for professionals who require high visibility without the restriction of traditional safety wear. Utilising the recognised RWS tape configuration, this orange t-shirt is engineered to provide maximum visibility in traffic-heavy environments. It successfully balances the need for safety with a lightweight, modern design that keeps the wearer comfortable throughout long shifts.
Key Features
- HiVisTex Pro Reflective Tape: This premium segmented tape is a significant upgrade over solid alternatives, offering increased visibility while allowing the garment to flex naturally with the body.
- Bird Eye Knit Fabric: The 100% polyester construction features a specialized knit that promotes airflow, making it highly breathable and efficient at moisture management.
- Segmented Tape Design: By breaking the reflective material into segments, the t-shirt provides superior freedom of movement, ensuring the fabric doesn't pull or snag during physical activity.
- Lightweight Construction: The choice of materials ensures the garment remains light on the shoulders, reducing fatigue for workers who are active throughout the day.
Design & Performance
The performance of the R413 is rooted in its 100% polyester Bird Eye knit fabric. This material is specifically chosen for its durability and breathability; the "bird eye" structure creates a surface area that allows heat to escape quickly. This is a vital feature for those working in demanding conditions or warmer climates. The inclusion of HiVisTex Pro tape ensures that safety is not compromised for comfort. The segmented nature of the tape means it moves as you move, which is a significant benefit for roles involving frequent bending, reaching, or lifting.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This hi-vis t-shirt is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery, allowing you to maintain safety compliance while promoting your brand. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional finish on logos and staff names, offering a durable solution that stands up to the rigours of daily wear. For larger, bold graphics across the back or chest, our high-quality printing process ensures your branding remains clear and vibrant. Our in-house team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the highest standards of quality and placement.
Use Cases
The R413 is specifically designed for traffic management, logistics, and site-based work where being seen is critical to safety. Its breathable properties make it the perfect choice for outdoor work during the summer months or for use in indoor environments where temperature regulation is a concern. The 4XL sizing ensures a comfortable fit for a wider range of team members.

Practical Advice
When selecting this 4XL t-shirt, consider the layers you may need to wear underneath. As a lightweight garment, it functions perfectly as a standalone piece in warm weather or as a moisture-wicking base layer beneath a hi-vis fleece or jacket when temperatures drop. Ensure the garment is not tucked in in a way that obscures the reflective tape segments, as this would compromise its safety rating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the HiVisTex Pro tape and the vibrant orange hue, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided. We recommend a mild domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the adhesive and the reflective properties of the segmented tape.
Do not use bleach on this garment. Bleach will cause the fluorescent pigments to fade rapidly and will weaken the polyester fibres, reducing the overall lifespan of your workwear. This item should be line dried only; avoid using a tumble dryer as the intense heat can cause the reflective tape to peel or crack.
Ironing is strictly prohibited, as the direct heat will melt the polyester knit and destroy the reflective elements. Additionally, do not dry clean this t-shirt. Please note that the garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes, after which the reflective qualities may no longer meet the required safety standards for high-visibility environments.
