Product Overview
The Uneek UC805 Hi-Viz Polo Shirt is a professionally engineered garment designed for those who require a balance between high-visibility safety and a smart, corporate appearance. Built from a robust polyester pique knit, this polo shirt offers a more formal alternative to standard t-shirts without compromising on the essential safety features required for hazardous work environments.
Key Features
- High-Visibility Reflective Tape: Features two 50mm wide reflective strips stitched around the body and one over each shoulder, ensuring maximum visibility from all angles in low-light conditions.
- Durable Pique Knit Fabric: The 100% polyester construction provides a resilient finish that withstands the rigours of daily professional use while maintaining its shape.
- Knitted Collar and Taped Neck: Designed for comfort and longevity, the taped neck prevents irritation, while the knitted collar ensures the garment retains a sharp profile after repeated laundering.
- Three-Button Placket: A classic design element that allows for adjustable ventilation and a professional aesthetic suitable for client-facing roles.
- Hemmed Sleeves and Bottom: Reinforced stitching at the stress points ensures the garment does not fray or lose its structure during active movement.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight pique knit, the UC805 is designed for breathability and moisture management. Unlike standard cotton polos, the 100% polyester composition excels at wicking sweat away from the body, keeping the wearer comfortable during physically demanding shifts. The fabric is substantial enough to feel protective but light enough to prevent overheating.
The reflective strips are securely stitched rather than heat-pressed, which significantly improves the garment's lifespan. This mechanical attachment ensures the tape remains fastened even after multiple high-temperature wash cycles, maintaining the safety integrity of your workwear over time.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC805 is an excellent canvas for company branding. For a superior, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. It provides a raised, professional texture that is ideal for corporate logos and staff names, standing up well to industrial cleaning. For larger, more vibrant back designs, our high-quality print process ensures your brand remains visible and sharp.
Our in-house customisation team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976. We ensure that every logo is placed with precision, taking care to work around the reflective strips to maintain both the garment's safety compliance and your professional image.
Use Cases
This garment is an essential choice for professionals in sectors such as logistics, warehousing, construction, and roadside assistance. It is particularly well-suited for site managers or supervisors who need to be visible but wish to maintain a higher standard of dress than a standard waistcoat or t-shirt allows.

Practical Advice
The UC805 features a generous unisex fit, making it versatile for entire workforces. When selecting your size, consider whether you will be wearing this over a base layer in cooler months. If you are between sizes, the structured nature of the pique knit usually suggests sticking to your standard size for a professional silhouette.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the reflective properties and fabric integrity of your hi-viz polo is vital for workplace safety. Proper care ensures the garment continues to meet safety standards and looks professional for as long as possible.
We recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is effective at removing oils, greases, and grime common in trade environments, ensuring that the yellow fabric and reflective strips remain bright and unobstructed by dirt.
Do not use biological detergents or bleach. These chemicals can break down the polyester fibres and significantly dull the reflective strips, which would eventually render the garment unsafe for high-visibility environments. Always wash the garment inside out to protect both the reflective tape and any custom embroidery or print from abrasive contact with the washing machine drum.
