Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing Hi Vis Short Sleeve T-Shirt (UC810) is a meticulously designed garment that balances the rigorous demands of workplace safety with a modern commitment to sustainability. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester, this t-shirt provides a high-visibility solution that is as responsible as it is functional. It is designed for professionals who require a lightweight, breathable layer that does not compromise on safety certifications, ensuring you remain conspicuous on-site while maintaining a professional appearance.
Key Features
- Certified Visibility: This garment is EN ISO 20471 Class 2 approved, featuring two 50mm retro-reflective strips around the body and one over each shoulder to ensure you are seen in low-light conditions.
- Rail Industry Compliant: The orange variant meets the RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2 standard, making it essential equipment for anyone working within the UK rail sector.
- UV Protection: With a 40+ UPF rating, the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, providing critical protection for those working outdoors during the summer months.
- Advanced Wicking Properties: The textured breathable fabric actively draws moisture away from the skin, keeping the wearer cool, dry, and comfortable throughout the working day.
- Durable Certification: The garment is tested to maintain its high-visibility properties for up to 25 wash cycles, ensuring a longer service life for your uniform.
Design & Performance
The UC810 is engineered for performance in active environments. By using 100% recycled polyester, Uneek has created a fabric that is not only kinder to the planet but also exceptionally effective at moisture management. The lightweight nature of the textured fabric allows for maximum airflow, which is vital for preventing overheating during strenuous physical labour. The inclusion of two-band and two-brace reflective tape provides a clear human silhouette, which is a key requirement for Category II PPE regulation compliance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical fabric, the UC810 is an excellent candidate for customisation. For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names on the chest. This provides a durable, high-quality look that withstands the rigours of industrial washing. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or safety messaging on the back, our print services offer bold, high-contrast results that ensure your brand is as visible as the wearer. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team at our Telford facility, drawing on our heritage since 1976.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is an ideal choice for a wide range of sectors. The orange colourway is specifically required for rail industry contractors under RIS-3279-TOM regulations. The yellow version is a staple for construction workers, logistics personnel, and site managers. Its breathable, lightweight construction makes it particularly suitable for those working in warehouses or outdoors during high-temperature periods where a standard sweatshirt would be impractical.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that this t-shirt is designed for a unisex fit. If you intend to wear it as a base layer under a high-visibility jacket during colder months, your standard size should suffice. However, if you prefer a more relaxed fit for airflow in the summer, you may wish to verify your measurements against our standard size guides. Ensure the reflective strips are not obstructed by tool belts or harnesses to maintain the garment's safety rating.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility performance and structural integrity of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the adhesive and stitching of the reflective strips, eventually reducing their effectiveness in reflecting light. Avoid using bleach, as this will degrade the polyester fibres and dull the fluorescent colour, compromising your safety on-site.
It is important to note that the high-visibility certification remains valid for up to 25 washes. Beyond this point, the reflective materials may begin to lose their potency, and we advise replacing the garment to ensure continued compliance with health and safety regulations. For best results, air dry your garment rather than using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can lead to fabric shrinkage and distortion of the reflective tape.
