This certification means the garment meets the European standard for high-visibility clothing. It ensures the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous situations, specifically for short-sleeved garments, this typically corresponds to Class 1.
The CE certification to EN ISO 20471 is guaranteed for up to 50 washes when the garment is cared for according to the instructions. After 50 washes, the garment may still provide visibility but is no longer certified.
This is a short-sleeved polo shirt, ideal for warmer weather or as a layer in cooler conditions. For colder or wet weather, consider layering with other appropriate workwear.
Yes, the shirt features a contemporary contrast chest panel and a professional look, making it an excellent choice for adding company logos and branding.
UPF 40+ means the fabric provides Very Good UV Protection. It blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Being metal-free means there are no metal components like zippers or buttons. This is crucial in environments where metal could cause sparks (e.g., hazardous areas) or scratch sensitive surfaces.
Slim Fit is designed to be more tailored and closer to the body for a modern look and feel. Regular Fit offers a more standard, looser cut for a comfortable, traditional fit.
Ensure the garment is clean and free from heavy soiling, which can impede fabric breathability. Check that the care instructions have been followed correctly, especially regarding washing temperatures and detergent use.
Check the washing cycle. High temperatures, harsh detergents, or excessive agitation can reduce the lifespan of the hi-vis properties. Always wash according to the care label, ideally inside out, and avoid bleaching.
Verify that the correct size was purchased. If the fit is still too restrictive, consider a garment with a 'Regular Fit' or one size larger if movement is significantly hindered for your specific tasks.
For maximum comfort, consider carefully removing the care label. Ensure any sharp edges are trimmed to avoid skin irritation. Always perform this carefully to avoid damaging the garment.
