Product Overview
The ProRTX High Visibility t-shirt is a fundamental component of any safety-conscious uniform. Engineered specifically for professional environments where visibility is paramount, this garment satisfies the rigorous requirements of EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 for Class 2 compliance. For those operating within the rail industry, the orange variant also meets the RIS-3279-TOM specification, ensuring you remain compliant on-site. Constructed from a lightweight and breathable Birdseye polyester, this t-shirt balances the need for high-conspicuity with the practical requirements of active, physical work.
Key Features
- Certified Safety Compliance: Meeting EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards ensures you are visible in hazardous or low-light working conditions, which is essential for maintaining site safety protocols.
- Strategic Reflective Tape Placement: The tape is applied over the shoulders and around the body, but crucially finishes before the side seam. This design choice prevents the tape from restricting the fabric's natural movement, allowing for a more comfortable and flexible fit throughout the day.
- Twin-Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching on the shoulders, sleeves, and bottom hem significantly enhances the garment's structural integrity, ensuring it can withstand the rigours of daily wear without fraying or unraveling.
- Ribbed Contrast Collar: The contrasting colour collar provides a smart, professional aesthetic while maintaining the functional benefits of a traditional workwear t-shirt.
Design & Performance
The performance of this t-shirt lies in its Birdseye polyester construction. This specific weave creates a textured surface that facilitates superior moisture management and airflow, keeping the wearer cool during demanding tasks. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures that even when layered, the garment does not feel restrictive. Durability is further bolstered by twin-needle stitching, a technical detail that provides extra strength at high-stress points, such as the shoulders and hem.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This high-visibility t-shirt is an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery, allowing you to align your safety gear with your corporate identity. Embroidery is recommended for smaller, detailed logos or staff names, providing a sophisticated and permanent finish that withstands regular laundering. For larger branding across the back or chest, our high-quality printing process ensures bold, clear designs that remain legible from a distance.
All customisation is carried out by our expert team in Telford. With our heritage dating back to 1976, we have the technical knowledge to ensure your branding is applied precisely without compromising the high-visibility properties of the garment.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for professionals in construction, logistics, and warehousing where Class 2 visibility is a mandatory requirement. Its breathable properties also make it a preferred choice for external maintenance teams, delivery drivers, and site supervisors who require a professional appearance while remaining safe and comfortable in varied weather conditions.

Practical Advice
The ProRTX High Visibility t-shirt offers a generous size range from S up to 5XL. Given its lightweight fabric, it serves as an ideal base layer in colder months or a standalone top in warmer conditions. When selecting your size, consider the fit required for your specific trade; the side-seam tape gap ensures that even a snugger fit will not overly restrict your range of motion.
Caring for your product
To ensure the longevity of the reflective tapes and the integrity of the fabric, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures may degrade the adhesive properties of the reflective elements over time, reducing the garment's safety effectiveness.
Do not use bleach, as this will damage the polyester fibres and dull the high-conspicuity pigments. Tumble drying should be avoided; the lightweight Birdseye fabric dries quickly when hung naturally, and excessive heat from a dryer can cause the reflective tape to crack or peel.
Ironing is not permitted for this garment. The heat from an iron will likely melt the synthetic polyester fibres and the reflective strips. Similarly, dry cleaning is not recommended, as the chemical solvents used in the process can strip the fluorescent dye and damage the reflective surface.
