Product Overview
The Warrior Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is a professionally engineered garment designed to provide essential safety and visibility in the workplace. Built from high-quality polyester, this polo shirt balances the need for site compliance with a smart, professional aesthetic suitable for staff interacting with the public or management. The design incorporates a standard weight fabric that offers breathability without sacrificing durability, making it an ideal choice for year-round work environments.
Key Features
EN ISO 20471 Class 2 Compliance: This certification ensures the garment meets specific safety standards for visibility, providing peace of mind for workers in high-traffic or hazardous environments.
RIS-3279-TOM Certification (Orange version): Specifically designed for the rail industry, ensuring the orange variant meets the stringent requirements for safety on UK rail networks.
Reflective Band Configuration: Features two reflective bands around the torso and one over each shoulder, ensuring visibility from all angles, even when bending or reaching.
Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at key stress points ensures the garment retains its structural integrity over time, even with daily use in demanding conditions.
Professional Detailing: The grey collar with contrast tipping and a three-button placket ensures a superior finish that maintains a professional appearance on site.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight 100% polyester fabric, this polo shirt is designed for moisture management, making it a comfortable choice for active shifts. The fabric choice ensures the shirt remains easy to maintain while providing a durable surface for branding. The twin needle stitching is a critical feature, as it prevents the seams from fraying or splitting under physical strain. For added comfort, a taped neck is included to prevent irritation during extended wear, while the short-sleeve design provides full freedom of movement for the wearer.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Warrior Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a high-end, permanent finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos or staff names on the chest. This method provides a professional, three-dimensional look that withstands industrial wear. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or safety messages on the back, our high-quality print services offer bold, sharp visibility that captures attention. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your workwear represents your business to the highest standard.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for logistics personnel, site supervisors, warehouse staff, and delivery drivers who require high visibility without the bulk of a jacket. The orange variant is specifically suited for rail workers requiring RIS-3279-TOM compliance, while the general high-visibility yellow is a staple for construction and industrial sites.

Practical Advice
Given the lightweight nature of this fabric, it serves as an excellent base layer during colder months or a stand-alone top in warmer weather. When selecting your size, ensure the reflective bands are not restricted, as the garment must sit comfortably to provide the full 360-degree visibility intended by the Class 2 certification.
Caring for your product
To ensure this garment continues to meet safety standards and looks its best, proper maintenance of the fabric and reflective elements is essential. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from obscuring the reflective tape, which is vital for maintaining its safety rating.
Avoid the use of bleach during the washing process, as harsh chemicals can degrade the high-visibility pigments and the reflective properties of the tape, compromising the garment's compliance. Gentle drying is recommended; exposure to excessive heat can damage the polyester fibres and cause the reflective bands to peel or crack over time. If ironing is necessary, avoid direct contact with the reflective tape to prevent melting or permanent damage to the visibility surface.
