Design & Performance
Engineered for performance, the UC810 utilizes a lightweight, textured polyester that excels in moisture management. Unlike standard polyester, this breathable fabric is designed to facilitate airflow, which is critical when working in high-temperature environments or during periods of physical exertion. The 2-band and 2-brace configuration of the reflective strips is carefully stitched rather than heat-pressed, ensuring the strips remain secure even after repeated wear and washing.
The garment is UKCA and CE certified, conforming to PPE Regulation EU 2016/425 Category II. This provides the wearer with the assurance that they are protected by a well-engineered garment that has been rigorously tested for quality and performance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC810 is an excellent canvas for company branding. For a more formal and durable finish, we recommend embroidery. Our in-house team uses high-tensile threads to ensure your logo withstands the rigours of the job site. Embroidery is particularly effective on the chest area for a professional appearance that lasts the life of the t-shirt.
For larger, more vibrant logos or safety messaging on the back, heat-applied print is an ideal solution. This method allows for bold designs that remain lightweight and flexible. All customisation is handled by our expert team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience to ensure your brand is represented accurately.
Use Cases
This hi-vis t-shirt is primarily designed for workers in the rail industry, construction, and road maintenance. Due to its RIS-3279-TOM certification, it is an essential garment for UK rail contractors. It is also well-suited for warehouse personnel, delivery drivers, and any outdoor professional requiring Class 2 visibility and UV protection during the warmer months.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that this t-shirt is designed with a unisex fit. For those working in high-intensity roles, the moisture-wicking properties perform best when the garment is worn as a base layer or on its own. If you are frequently between sizes, the breathable nature of the fabric allows for a comfortable fit even when layering over thin thermal vests in transitional weather.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the reflective strips and the technical properties of the fabric, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Exceeding this temperature can damage the adhesive and stitching of the retro-reflective bands, potentially compromising the garment's safety rating.
Please note that this t-shirt is rated for a maximum of 25 washes. After this point, the reflective material may begin to lose its luminance. We advise against using bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these will break down the recycled polyester fibres and the reflective coating. Avoid tumble drying; instead, allow the garment to air dry to preserve its shape and protective qualities.
