How to choose

**Selecting hi-vis t-shirts for site work:**

1. **Fabric weight** — lighter fabrics (120–150gsm) suit summer and physical work; heavier (180–200gsm) last longer with repeated washing.
2. **Moisture wicking** — polyester blends with wicking treatment keep workers comfortable during heavy activity.
3. **Collar style** — polo collar gives a more professional appearance; crew neck is typically cooler.
4. **Reflective tape position** — shoulders and chest bands provide visibility from both front and side angles.
5. **Colour** — fluorescent yellow has the highest daytime visibility; fluorescent orange is used where yellow conflicts with site signage.
Trade Tip

**Trade tip:** Order hi-vis t-shirts in two sizes per worker — a fitted size for summer layering and one size up for use under a hi-vis jacket in winter. This extends the life of both garments and avoids the tight-fit discomfort of wearing layers under a fitted shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do hi-vis t-shirts meet EN ISO 20471?

Yes — the products in this collection are rated to EN ISO 20471 Class 1 or Class 2. Check individual listings for the specific class rating before ordering for regulated environments.

Can I print logos on hi-vis t-shirts?

Logos can be added to hi-vis garments provided they do not obscure or overlap the retroreflective tape bands. Front chest areas outside the tape zones are suitable for printing.

How many washes do hi-vis t-shirts last?

Most hi-vis garments are rated for 25–50 industrial washes before the retroreflective tape begins to degrade. Replace when strips lose reflectivity or when fluorescent fabric fades significantly.
