Product Overview
The Yoko Hi-vis two-tone t-shirt (HVJ400) is a well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require high-visibility protection without compromising on comfort or a modern aesthetic. Constructed from a technical bird-eye fabric, this t-shirt offers a more breathable and flexible alternative to standard high-visibility vests. The clever two-tone design incorporates navy contrast panels in areas most prone to soiling, such as the collar, cuffs, and hem, ensuring the wearer maintains a professional appearance throughout the working day.
Key Features
- High-Visibility Certification: This garment fully conforms to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, providing essential visibility in hazardous work environments. The Orange/Navy version is also RIS-3279-TOM certified, making it suitable for use within the UK railway industry.
- Aircool Fabric Technology: The bird-eye knit is designed to be breathable and quick-drying, effectively managing moisture to keep the wearer cool and dry during physical exertion.
- Retro-Reflective Performance: Two extra-wide reflective tapes are positioned around the torso to ensure maximum visibility in low-light conditions.
- Durable Construction: Side vents with reinforced stitching provide added flexibility and prevent the garment from tearing at stress points during movement.
- Skin-Friendly Comfort: The soft bird-eye fabric is gentle on the skin, and the tag-free design eliminates neck irritation for all-day comfort.
Design & Performance
This t-shirt is crafted from a lightweight 100% polyester fabric that utilizes a bird-eye weave to enhance airflow. This technical structure is not only soft against the skin but also boasts superior shape retention and flexibility, allowing for a full range of motion. Unlike heavy cotton alternatives, this material does not hold onto moisture, ensuring it remains lightweight even during intense activity.
The design is finished with a flat-knit collar and cuffs which provide a structured, professional look that holds its form over time. The navy contrast tipping on the shoulders and hem serves a dual purpose: it adds a contemporary touch to the safety-wear aesthetic and masks the inevitable dirt and grease encountered on site, prolonging the life of the garment's visual appeal.

Embroidery is an excellent choice for a superior finish, providing a durable and textured representation of your company logo or staff names that stands up well to frequent washing. For those looking for a bolder, more prominent display, our high-quality printing process is ideal for larger logos on the back or chest. Printing ensures your branding is vibrant and clear, making your team easily identifiable without affecting the garment's lightweight performance.
Use Cases
This hi-vis t-shirt is an essential piece of equipment for a variety of trades. It is particularly suited for construction workers, warehouse staff, and logistics personnel who require Class 2 visibility. The Orange/Navy colourway is a specific requirement for those working on or near UK rail tracks. Because of its breathable nature, it is also the preferred choice for outdoor workers during the summer months who find traditional layers too restrictive.

Practical Advice
This t-shirt is available in a wide size range from Small (34/36") through to 3XL (50/52"). It is designed with a modern fit that allows for ease of movement. For those working in transitional weather, this t-shirt layers perfectly under a hi-vis fleece or jacket, providing a versatile safety solution throughout the year.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and fabric integrity of this t-shirt, it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a normal process. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the polyester fibres and degrade the adhesive used for the reflective tapes, compromising your safety.
Bleaching must be avoided, as it will cause the high-visibility pigments to fade and weaken the fabric. Do not iron this garment; the high heat will melt the synthetic polyester and the reflective strips. Similarly, do not tumble dry, dry clean, or use industrial laundering processes.
Please note that this garment has a maximum limit of 25 wash cycles. After this point, the reflective material may no longer meet the required safety standards, and the t-shirt should be replaced to ensure you remain fully protected and compliant on the job.
