Product Overview
The WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Sweatshirt represents a thoughtful balance between safety requirements and environmental responsibility. Designed for professionals who require high visibility without compromising on comfort, this sweatshirt is constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton. It offers a practical solution for low-light environments, ensuring the wearer remains conspicuous and safe while performing demanding tasks.
Key Features
- Eco-Friendly Construction: Utilising recycled materials, this garment reduces environmental impact without sacrificing the durability required for daily workwear.
- Integrated Stretch Panels: These panels are strategically placed to allow for a full range of movement, preventing the garment from restricting you during physical activity.
- High-Visibility Safety: The bright orange finish paired with reflective elements ensures you are easily seen in low-light or high-traffic work zones.
- Durable Fabric Blend: The combination of polyester and cotton provides a robust exterior that withstands the rigours of active work while remaining soft against the skin.
Design & Performance
This medium-weight sweatshirt is engineered for longevity. The fabric composition of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton provides a stable structure that retains its shape even after multiple wash cycles. The integrated stretch panels are a significant addition for those in active roles, as they allow the garment to flex with the body, reducing stress on the seams and increasing the overall lifespan of the sweatshirt. The contrast black sections are strategically placed in areas prone to soiling, helping the garment maintain a professional appearance throughout the working day.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The WX2 Eco Hi-Vis Sweatshirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is highly recommended for company logos or staff names, providing a textured, premium finish that conveys authority and permanence. For larger, more complex branding or back-prints, our high-quality printing process ensures bold, clear designs that remain visible alongside the garment's hi-vis elements. Our specialist team in Telford, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure the highest standards are met.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is specifically designed for professionals working in construction, logistics, and maintenance where visibility is a safety mandate. It is equally suited for outdoor utility work or warehouse environments where temperatures may fluctuate and a reliable, medium-weight layer is required.

Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and structural integrity of this garment, it is essential to follow the care instructions precisely. A domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C is recommended; exceeding this temperature can damage the synthetic fibres and cause the reflective elements to degrade prematurely.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will strip the high-visibility dye and weaken the fabric. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried. We recommend line drying to prevent shrinkage and to preserve the flexibility of the stretch panels. Do not iron or dry clean this sweatshirt, as high heat and harsh chemicals can melt the polyester content or damage the reflective tape. Please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 50 washes to ensure it continues to meet safety standards.
