Product Overview
The Regatta Hi-Vis X-Pro Polo (Class 1) is a technical workwear solution designed for professionals who require high-visibility protection without compromising on comfort or fabric innovation. Constructed from a sophisticated blend of bamboo and polyester, this polo shirt offers a superior alternative to standard synthetic garments. The natural properties of bamboo provide a soft hand feel and effective moisture-wicking capabilities, ensuring the wearer remains dry and comfortable during physically demanding shifts. Certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 +A1:2016 Class 1, this garment is engineered to meet rigorous safety standards while maintaining a professional, modern aesthetic.
Key Features
- Bamboo-Polyester Blend: The high bamboo content provides a naturally softer feel against the skin and inherent antibacterial properties to maintain freshness throughout the day.
- Certified Visibility: Adherence to EN ISO 20471 Class 1 standards ensures you remain visible in low-light environments, essential for site safety.
- Segmented Reflective Tape: Unlike solid strips, the heat-applied segmented tape allows for greater fabric stretch and breathability, moving with the body rather than restricting it.
- Advanced Ventilation: Integrated underarm mesh panels facilitate airflow to high-heat areas, preventing overheating in warm conditions.
- Sun Protection: The fabric is rated to UPF 40+, providing a vital barrier against harmful UV rays during outdoor work.
- ID Reflection Technology: Angled chevrons allow observers to quickly identify the direction the wearer is facing, an important safety feature in busy environments.
Design & Performance
This lightweight polo shirt is designed for performance. The use of recycled content in the fabric reflects a commitment to sustainable manufacturing without sacrificing durability. The zip-neck design allows for quick temperature regulation, while the cut-away inner label prevents irritation at the neckline. The fabric's wicking ability is particularly effective for those working in high-output roles, as it moves moisture away from the skin to the surface of the garment where it can evaporate quickly.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Hi-Vis X-Pro Polo is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, professional appearance; it is particularly suited for company logos or staff names on the chest. For larger, high-impact branding on the back, our high-quality print services provide a bold finish that remains durable. All customisation is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is ideally suited for professionals in logistics, light construction, and transport sectors where Class 1 visibility is required. Its breathable nature and UV protection also make it an excellent choice for outdoor surveyors, event staff, and warehouse operatives who transition between different environments throughout the day.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this polo ranges from Small to 4XL, catering to a wide variety of body types. When selecting your size, consider that the bamboo blend offers a more relaxed drape than 100% polyester shirts. If you are frequently layering this under a jacket, the lightweight fabric ensures you won't feel overly bulky.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the reflective tape and the high-visibility properties, this garment should be cleaned using a mild wash cycle with a low spin. High-intensity agitation can cause premature wear to the heat-applied safety elements.
Do not use bleach or dry clean this polo, as harsh chemicals will degrade the specialized bamboo fibres and dull the fluorescent pigments required for safety certification.
Air drying is essential; do not tumble dry or iron this garment. Excessive heat can melt the reflective tape and damage the synthetic components of the fabric blend. Always wash the polo inside out and with similar dark colours to prevent dye transfer.
Finally, ensure the garment is completely dry before storing it. Storing the polo while damp can lead to fabric degradation. It is also advised to keep the item away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the high-visibility dyes from fading over time.
