Product Overview
The Result Genuine Recycled R503X is a sophisticated evolution in high-visibility workwear, proving that safety and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. This robust zipped hoodie is engineered from REPREVE® recycled performance fabric, repurposing the equivalent of 14 one-litre plastic bottles into a garment that meets stringent safety standards. It offers a medium-weight feel that provides significant warmth without the unnecessary bulk of traditional heavy outer layers, making it an ideal choice for professionals who require agility on site.
Key Features
- EN ISO 20471: 2013 + A1:2016 Class 2 Certification: This ensures you remain visible in high-risk environments, while the Orange variant specifically meets Ris-3279-Tom Class 2 for use in the railway industry.
- Full Front YKK Zip and Puller: We utilise high-quality YKK hardware because a broken zip renders a garment useless; these are designed for repeated, reliable use in demanding conditions.
- Easy-Stretch Printed Safety Bands: Unlike rigid sewn-on tape, these printed bands flex with the fabric, providing a greater range of motion and reducing the 'pull' often felt during physical labour.
- Zipped Front and Chest Pockets: Secure storage is essential for mobile devices and tools, preventing loss or damage while you are active.
- Heavy Stretch Rib Cuffs and Waistband: These components maintain the garment's shape over time and prevent cold draughts from entering, ensuring all-day comfort.
Design & Performance
The core of this garment is its 100% REPREVE® recycled polyester construction. The exterior is windproof and breathable, offering a protective barrier against the elements while allowing moisture to escape. On the inside, the warm brushed fleece provides a soft, insulating layer that retains body heat in cooler climates. The addition of a hood with a drawcord and a functional hang loop demonstrates a thoughtful approach to practical, everyday use in a professional setting.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that your clothing is a walking billboard for your business. This hoodie is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a truly professional appearance, our Telford-based team recommends embroidery for company logos and individual names, providing a durable, high-quality textured finish. For larger, high-impact branding on the back, our advanced printing techniques offer a sharp, vibrant result that complements the printed safety bands. Since 1976, we have been perfecting our in-house customisation processes to ensure your branding lasts as long as the garment itself.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for professionals in construction, logistics, and site management who require high-visibility protection. The orange version is indispensable for those working in or around the UK rail network. Its breathable nature also makes it suitable for warehouse staff who frequently move between temperature-controlled environments and outdoor loading bays.

Practical Advice
The R503X is available in a generous size range from S to 4XL, designed with a professional fit that allows for base layers beneath. If you are between sizes and intend to wear this over a thick sweatshirt, you may wish to consider the larger option to ensure full freedom of movement. The integrated hang loop is a small but vital feature for drying the garment properly after a shift.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the high-visibility safety bands and the integrity of the recycled fabric, a domestic machine wash at 40°C is recommended. Exceeding this temperature can damage the adhesive properties of the printed reflective elements.
Bleaching must be strictly avoided, as it will strip the fluorescent pigment from the fabric, rendering the safety certification void and compromising your visibility on site.
Do not iron this garment. High heat from an iron will melt the recycled polyester fibres and destroy the reflective bands. Similarly, tumble drying and dry cleaning should be avoided to prevent premature wear and shrinkage, ensuring the hoodie remains fit for purpose for the long term.
