Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility Hi-vis Pro contract polo represents a modern evolution in safety workwear. This lightweight polo shirt balances the stringent requirements of high-visibility safety standards with the comfort of technical sports-inspired fabric. Crafted from soft-touch micro mesh, it provides a breathable alternative to standard cotton or poly-cotton blends, ensuring that those working in demanding environments remain cool and visible throughout the day.
Key Features
- Certified Visibility: Meeting EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards ensures you are seen in low-light conditions, providing essential safety for busy worksites.
- Rail Industry Compliance: The orange colourway conforms to RIS-3279-TOM, making it suitable for rail workers who require specific safety certification.
- Sun Protection: The fabric offers UPF 40+ protection, shielding your skin from harmful UV rays during long shifts outdoors.
- Moisture Management: The wicking performance of the micro mesh fabric draws sweat away from the body, keeping you fresh and dry under pressure.
- Sustainable Construction: Built using recycled content, this garment supports environmental initiatives without compromising on technical performance.
Design & Performance
This polo shirt is engineered for movement. The soft-touch micro mesh fabric feels comfortable against the skin, while the side vent details allow for greater airflow and ease of motion. A thoughtful design choice is the deliberate gap in the reflective tape at the side seams; this prevents the tape from restricting the natural stretch of the fabric, ensuring a more ergonomic fit for active roles. The two-button placket and ribbed collar provide a sharp, professional finish that maintains its shape even after repeated wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a uniform is a mobile billboard for your business. The Regatta Pro contract polo is compatible with both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the ideal choice for corporate logos or staff names on the chest, providing a permanent, textured finish that exudes professionalism. For larger graphics or high-contrast safety messaging on the back, our high-quality printing process ensures bold visibility.
Our experienced in-house team has been refining these techniques in Telford since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with precision and care to withstand the rigours of the workplace.
Use Cases
This garment is designed for professionals across construction, logistics, and site management. Its lightweight nature makes it particularly effective for outdoor summer work or for those working in temperature-controlled warehouses. The orange variant is specifically suited for rail infrastructure projects, while the yellow is a staple for general roadside and industrial safety.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this polo shirt ranges from Small up to 4XL, catering to a wide variety of builds. When selecting your size, consider that the micro mesh fabric has a slightly more athletic fit than a traditional heavy cotton polo. If you prefer a looser fit for layering over a base layer during colder months, you may wish to consider one size up from your usual measurement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the high-visibility reflective strips and the wicking properties of the fabric, a mild wash with a low spin cycle is essential. High-speed spinning can cause premature wear on the reflective elements, reducing the garment's safety lifespan.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will degrade the fluorescent dyes and damage the polyester fibres. It is also important to wash the garment inside out and with similar dark colours to prevent any dye transfer that could dull the high-visibility finish.
This polo shirt should not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned. Heat from irons or dryers can melt the micro mesh or cause the reflective tape to peel. Instead, hang the garment to air dry away from direct sunlight, and never store it while damp, as this can encourage mildew and fabric degradation.
