Product Overview
The SOL'S Vortex Ripstop Performance T-Shirt is a technical garment engineered for those who require both high-performance functionality and environmental responsibility. Constructed from 100% recycled polyester, this t-shirt offers a lightweight and breathable solution for active professionals. The distinctive ripstop effect knit not only provides a modern aesthetic but also adds a layer of structural integrity to the fabric, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance.
Key Features
- Ripstop effect knit: This specialised weaving technique increases the fabric's resistance to tearing and ripping, extending the garment's lifespan in active environments.
- Breathable fabric: The moisture-wicking properties of the recycled polyester ensure optimal thermal regulation, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during physical exertion.
- Fitted style with raglan sleeves: The modern silhouette is complemented by raglan sleeves, which provide a greater range of motion and eliminate shoulder seam irritation.
- Self fabric bound collar: A refined finish at the neckline ensures comfort against the skin and helps the collar retain its shape over time.
- Twin needle sleeves and hem: This double-stitched finish provides essential reinforcement at high-stress points, preventing fraying and ensuring long-term durability.
- Unbranded size label: Located at the neckline, this allows for easy internal rebranding or simply reduces irritation for the wearer.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is designed with a focus on movement and endurance. The lightweight fabric composition is ideal for layering or for use in warmer climates, providing a barely-there feel without compromising on coverage. As a 100% recycled polyester garment, it meets several stringent environmental and ethical standards, including PETA-Approved Vegan and GRS certifications. The semi-fitted cut provides a professional look that is neither too tight nor too baggy, making it an excellent choice for team uniforms that need to look consistent across different body types.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of the SOL'S Vortex makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a high-impact, bold appearance—particularly for large back logos or event branding—our specialist printing techniques offer vibrant results that move with the fabric. For a more traditional, corporate look, embroidery is ideal for chest logos and staff names, providing a textured, premium finish.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt features a semi-fitted cut. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for manual work, you may wish to consider sizing up. The lightweight nature of the fabric makes it an ideal base layer under a fleece or softshell jacket during cooler months, providing moisture management beneath your outer layers.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance qualities of the recycled polyester and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend following the specific care instructions provided on the internal garment label. Proper maintenance ensures that the breathable pores of the fabric remain unclogged and the ripstop knit remains strong.
When washing, avoid using fabric softeners as these can coat the technical fibres and reduce the garment's natural breathability. Always wash similar colours together to prevent any potential colour transfer, and air dry where possible to preserve the life of your print or embroidery.
