Its key benefit is the combination of breathable, moisture-wicking fabric with a modern, slim-fit design.

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification means the garment meets European standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring the wearer is conspicuous in hazardous environments.

Is this shirt suitable for all weather conditions?

The PW212 is a short-sleeved polo designed for breathability and comfort. For colder or wet conditions, layering with other appropriate outerwear is recommended.

Can I add my company logo?

Yes, this polo is ideal for corporate branding. Consult with a professional printing or embroidery service to apply logos in a way that adheres to the garment's safety standards.

How long does the hi-vis certification last?

The EN ISO 20471 certification is maintained for up to 50 wash cycles. It's important to follow care instructions to maximize the garment's lifespan while meeting standards.

What is the benefit of the contrast chest panel?

The contrast chest panel adds a modern design element and can enhance visibility by breaking up the solid color of the garment, making the wearer more noticeable.

What does 40+ UPF rated fabric mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of harmful UV radiation, offering significant protection to the skin.

Is the fabric stretchable?

While the fabric blend provides some flexibility and comfort, it is not specifically designed as a stretch fabric. The fit is described as slim.

Troubleshooting

Color fading or loss of reflectivity

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, particularly regarding water temperature, detergent type, and avoiding bleach. Limit washing cycles to 50 as per certification.

Shrinkage after washing

Use the recommended low heat setting for tumble drying. Avoid high heat, which can cause cotton blends to shrink. Ensure the garment is laid flat or hung to dry if tumble drying is not used.

Discomfort due to fit

Verify you have selected the correct size using the Portwest sizing guide. If the slim fit is still too restrictive, consider alternative relaxed-fit models if available.

Fabric not wicking moisture effectively

Ensure the garment is clean and free from fabric softeners or residues that can impede moisture-wicking properties. Re-wash with a mild detergent if necessary.
