Product Overview
The Regatta High Visibility Pro short sleeve t-shirt is a technically proficient garment designed for those who require both safety and comfort in high-activity environments. This is not just a simple t-shirt; it is a carefully engineered piece of safetywear that meets rigorous EN ISO 20471:2013 +A1:2016 Class 2 standards. By utilising a high-performance polyester pique fabric, Regatta has created a solution for professionals who need to remain visible without overheating during strenuous labour. The inclusion of angled hi-vis chevrons is a thoughtful design choice, allowing others to identify the direction you are facing even in low-light conditions, which is a critical safety factor on busy sites.
Key Features
- Certified Safety Standards: Conforms to EN ISO 20471:2013 +A1:2016 Class 2, ensuring you meet site safety requirements. The orange variant also meets RIS-3279/TOM standards for the railway industry.
- Quick-Dry Pique Fabric: The 100% polyester pique is designed to dry rapidly, which is essential for maintaining comfort throughout a long shift.
- Moisture-Wicking Technology: The natural wicking properties of the fabric pull sweat away from the skin to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate.
- Directional Visibility: Angled reflective chevrons provide a clear indication of the wearer's orientation in dim environments.
- Classic Crew Neck: A comfortable, non-restrictive neckline that sits well under other layers or when worn alone.
Design & Performance
Performance in the field depends heavily on fabric choice. This t-shirt is constructed from a lightweight polyester pique that offers a professional appearance while providing the durability required for daily work. The pique weave adds a subtle texture that aids in breathability, preventing the fabric from clinging to the body when the temperature rises. Because the material is inherently moisture-wicking, it manages humidity effectively, making it an excellent choice for indoor warehousing or outdoor summer work. The fit is generous, ranging from Small to 3XL, ensuring a wide range of body types are accommodated without restricting movement.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your workwear is your calling card. This lightweight t-shirt is perfectly suited for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional finish, ideal for company logos and staff names on the chest. The pique knit provides a stable base for high-quality stitching that remains crisp wash after wash.
Alternatively, if you require large, high-impact branding across the back, our printing services offer a bold and clear finish. Every piece of customisation is handled in-house at our Telford facility by a team that has been perfecting the craft since 1976, ensuring your branding is applied with technical precision.
Use Cases
This garment is designed for professionals in industries where visibility is non-negotiable but physical exertion is high. It is an ideal choice for construction workers, roadside recovery teams, and warehouse staff. Because it meets RIS-3279/TOM in orange, it is also a staple for rail industry workers who need a breathable alternative to heavy vests during the warmer months.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt features a lightweight fabric that makes it ideal for layering. During transitional weather, it works exceptionally well under a high-visibility fleece or softshell jacket. When selecting your size, consider whether you prefer a snug fit for maximum wicking efficiency or a looser fit for improved airflow. The sizing spans from a 38-inch chest in Small up to a 50-inch chest in 3XL.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of this garment, we recommend a standard machine wash. Regular cleaning ensures that dirt and grease do not dull the reflective strips or the vibrancy of the fluorescent fabric, which are essential for your safety.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh oxidizing agents will damage the polyester fibres and significantly fade the high-visibility pigment. For drying, use a low tumble dry setting or hang the garment to air dry. High heat can damage the reflective chevrons and cause unnecessary shrinkage.
If ironing is required, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with the reflective elements. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the chemicals used in the process can degrade the technical properties of the safety fabric.
