Full details
The Helly Hansen Workwear Addvis Longsleeve is designed for adult males who require high visibility and comfort during work activities. Its key benefit is guaranteed safety and visibility, thanks to its Hi Vis certification. A minor caveat is that its Class 3 certification applies only to sizes S and above, with XS meeting Class 2. This garment combines soft, 4-way stretch polyester fabric for flexibility with a comfortable rib-knit collar, making it ideal for demanding work environments.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 mean?
This is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest level, indicating the garment offers the most visibility and is typically required for workers in the highest-risk environments.
Why does the certification level differ between XS and other sizes?
The standard's requirements for reflective material and background color coverage are scaled based on the garment's size. Smaller sizes (like XS) may not meet the same high visibility surface area requirements as larger sizes (S and above) to achieve the next class down.
Is this shirt suitable for all types of work?
It is ideal for work environments requiring high visibility, such as construction, road work, and warehousing. The 4-way stretch fabric also makes it comfortable for physically demanding jobs.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn as a base layer in colder conditions, providing an additional thermal layer and maintaining visibility.
How durable is the fabric?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester at 143 g/m², which is known for its durability and resistance to stretching and shrinking, especially when cared for properly.
What is the benefit of the 4-way stretch fabric?
The 4-way stretch allows the fabric to expand in all directions, providing greater freedom of movement and comfort during activities that require bending, twisting, or reaching.
How should I wash this garment to maintain its visibility features?
Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing. Adhering to these instructions helps preserve the integrity of the Hi Vis certification.
Troubleshooting
Garment loses color vibrancy
Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying.
Reduced visibility over time
Regularly inspect the garment for wear and tear on reflective elements. Follow care instructions precisely to maintain fabric integrity and color brightness.
Stretching out of shape
Avoid over-drying on high heat. Ensure the garment is stored properly and not subjected to excessive mechanical stress when not in use.
