Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis two-tone polo shirt (HVJ220) is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require high visibility without sacrificing comfort during active shifts. Constructed from a specialised Aircool Birdseye fabric, this polo shirt prioritises breathability and moisture management, ensuring the wearer remains comfortable in demanding environments. Its two-tone design is not merely aesthetic; it is a functional choice for those who need to maintain a professional appearance while working in environments where dirt and dust are commonplace.

- Crafted from a lightweight Aircool Birdseye fabric that is both soft against the skin and exceptionally quick to dry for all-day comfort.
- Features two extra-wide retro-reflective tapes around the body to ensure maximum visibility in low-light conditions.
- Reinforced stitching on the side vents ensures the garment can withstand the rigours of daily movement without tearing.
Design & Performance
Performance is at the heart of this polo shirt’s design. The 100% polyester Birdseye fabric provides excellent flexibility and stretch, allowing for a full range of movement while maintaining its original shape even after repeated wear. Unlike standard high-visibility garments that can occasionally feel restrictive, this lightweight material is engineered for superior airflow.
The design features smart navy contrast panels on the shoulders, collar, cuffs, and hem. These darker sections are strategically placed in high-wear areas to help conceal the inevitable grime encountered on a job site, keeping you looking professional for longer. The three-button placket and tag-free design further enhance the wearer's comfort, preventing irritation during long hours on the clock.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is perfectly suited for both embroidery and print, allowing you to align your team's appearance with your brand identity. For a sophisticated and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names. This method provides a textured, superior finish that withstands frequent laundering and conveys a high level of professionalism.
For larger, more vibrant graphics or promotional messaging, high-quality heat-seal printing is an excellent alternative. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with technical precision to maintain the garment’s flexibility and reflective properties.
Use Cases
This polo shirt is an ideal choice for site managers, logistics personnel, and railway workers who need to meet safety regulations while working in warmer climates or high-intensity roles. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for customer-facing staff in industrial or trade environments who require a balance of safety and style.

Practical Advice
Available in a broad size range from Small to 3XL, this polo shirt offers a comfortable, professional fit.

We recommend reviewing the specific chest measurements to ensure a fit that allows for full mobility on the job.
Caring for your product
To preserve the life of your high-visibility garment and maintain its safety certifications, it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using a synthetic wash cycle helps maintain the integrity of the polyester fibres and ensures your custom branding remains vibrant for longer.
Bleaching agents must be avoided at all costs, as they will degrade the fluorescent pigments and damage the reflective tape, which would compromise the garment's safety performance. Similarly, do not tumble dry, wring, or dry clean the shirt; air drying is essential to prevent heat damage and distortion of the fabric and any applied logos.
Ironing is not permitted, as direct heat can melt the synthetic fibres and the reflective elements. Please note that this garment is rated for a maximum of 25 wash cycles. This limit is set to ensure the shirt continues to meet the necessary high-visibility safety standards, as the reflective and fluorescent properties naturally diminish over time with laundering.
