FAQs
What does RIS 3279-TOM certification mean?
RIS 3279-TOM is a UK standard specifically for high-visibility clothing used in the railway industry, ensuring appropriate color and reflectivity for safety.
How do I ensure the reflective tape remains effective?
Follow the care instructions carefully, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding bleach or aggressive cleaning. Inspect the tape regularly for any signs of cracking or peeling.
Is this T-shirt suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the breathable and moisture-wicking fabric is designed to keep the wearer cool and dry, making it suitable for warm conditions and indoor environments.
What is the UPF rating and what does it protect against?
The UPF 40+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, protecting your skin from sun damage.
Can I wear this T-shirt for general work, not just rail industry jobs?
Absolutely. While certified for rail use, its high visibility and comfort features make it suitable for any job requiring increased safety awareness.
How does the Texpel Wicking finish help?
This finish helps move moisture away from the skin to the fabric's surface where it can evaporate quickly, keeping you drier and more comfortable. It also aids in stain removal.
What size is this guide referring to?
This guide specifically covers the Portwest T-Shirt in Orange, size XXXL.
Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility after washing
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying and ironing, which can degrade reflective tape and fabric fluorescence. Inspect tape for damage.
Fabric feels damp or clammy
This may indicate extreme exertion. The Texpel Wicking finish is designed to draw moisture away, but very high activity levels can saturate any fabric. Ensure the garment is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Check that no other layers underneath are preventing moisture transfer.
Shrinkage after washing
Follow the recommended washing temperature (40°C) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using high heat, which can cause polyester fabrics to shrink.
