Product Information

Full details

The Portwest S280 Hi-Vis Cotton Comfort Contrast T-Shirt in Orange/Black XXL is designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and durability. Its key benefit is the combination of comfort from its cotton-rich fabric with enhanced safety features like reflective tape and UPF 35+ protection. A potential caveat is that while durable, it may not offer the same level of insulation as heavier workwear in extremely cold conditions. This long-sleeved t-shirt features moisture-wicking properties, a chest pocket, and contrast panels to mask dirt, making it a practical choice for demanding jobs.

FAQs

What is the material composition of this t-shirt?

The shell fabric is a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, knitted to a weight of 175g.

Is this t-shirt suitable for night work?

Yes, the t-shirt features reflective tape and meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards, making it suitable for low-light and night conditions where high visibility is required.

How many times can this t-shirt be washed before its hi-vis properties degrade?

The t-shirt is certified to maintain its EN ISO 20471 compliance after 50 washes.

Does the orange version meet rail industry safety standards?

Yes, the orange variant complies with RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1, which is specific to the rail industry.

Can I wear this in very hot weather?

The moisture-wicking fabric helps keep you cool, but the long sleeves might be warm. It's best suited for moderate temperatures or conditions where sun protection is also needed.

What does UPF 35+ mean?

UPF 35+ means the fabric is rated to block over 97% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

How should I clean the t-shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape appears to be peeling or losing adhesion.

Ensure washing instructions (especially temperature and drying method) are followed precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners. If the issue persists after minimal washes, contact customer support.

Garment is not as breathable or moisture-wicking as expected.

Check for blockages in the fabric weave (e.g., dirt, residue). Ensure no heavy detergents or fabric softeners were used. Try washing with a mild detergent and no softener on a gentle cycle.

Color has faded significantly after a few washes.

Verify that the washing temperature does not exceed 40°C and that the garment is not exposed to direct sunlight during drying without turning inside out. Avoid harsh detergents.

The fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Refer to the sizing guide before purchase. Ensure the correct size (XXL in this case) was selected. While designed for a comfortable fit, personal preference for fit can vary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent comfort due to the cotton-rich fabric blend.
  • Provides high visibility with reflective tape and EN ISO 20471 certification.
  • Effective moisture-wicking keeps the wearer dry and comfortable.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding work environments.
  • UPF 35+ rating offers significant protection against harmful UV rays.
  • Two-tone design effectively hides dirt and stains.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for extremely cold conditions.
  • Long sleeves might be too warm for very hot weather.
  • Material blend may not be as breathable as 100% cotton for some users.
  • Reflective tape effectiveness can degrade over many wash cycles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring it is clean and fits correctly.

Compatibility: The Portwest S280 is designed as a standalone garment or as a base layer. It complies with EN ISO 20471 standards, meaning it can be worn as part of a high-visibility ensemble. It is also certified for the rail industry (orange variant).

Care Instructions: To maintain the garment's performance and longevity:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C (104°F).
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting.
  • Ironing: Iron at a low temperature, maximum 110°C (230°F).
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Washing Limits: Certified for 50 washes. Excessive washing beyond this may reduce its hi-vis properties.
  • Detergents: Use mild detergents. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impede moisture-wicking properties and affect reflective tape adhesion.
