Product Information

Full details

The Portwest DX413 Hi-Vis T-Shirt is designed for adult workers requiring high visibility and comfort during their workday. Its key benefit is the premium cooling fabric that keeps you cool and dry, coupled with flexible segmented reflective tape for enhanced mobility and safety. A potential caveat to consider is the slim fit, which may not suit all body types. This t-shirt offers moisture-wicking properties, a contrast collar, and a radio loop for practicality.

FAQs

Is this t-shirt suitable for all types of work?

This t-shirt is ideal for work requiring high visibility and comfort in moderate conditions. It is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards, but for heavy-duty industrial environments or extreme weather, additional protective gear may be necessary.

How does the 'active fit' differ from a standard fit?

The 'active fit' or 'slim fit' means the garment is cut closer to the body for a more streamlined appearance and to reduce snagging hazards, while still allowing for ease of movement.

Will the reflective tape remain effective after multiple washes?

Yes, the t-shirt is certified to maintain its EN ISO 20471 compliance after 50 washes when cared for correctly according to the provided instructions.

Can I wear this t-shirt in very hot weather?

The premium cooling fabric and moisture-wicking properties make it highly suitable for hot weather, helping to keep you cool and dry.

What does '40+ UPF rated fabric' mean?

This means the fabric provides a Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 40 or higher, indicating it blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation.

What is the purpose of the radio loop?

The radio loop is a small attachment point, typically located near the collar, designed for conveniently securing a radio or communication device, keeping it accessible and preventing it from dangling.

Can I add custom logos or branding to this t-shirt?

The product description mentions 'Ideal for corporate wear and custom finishes,' suggesting it is suitable for customisation, though specific application methods and compatibility should be confirmed with a professional customiser.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt feels too tight or restrictive.

Consider ordering a size up if you prefer a looser fit, or if you have a broader build. The slim fit is designed for a closer cut.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents. Gentle care will prolong the life of the reflective elements.

Fabric is not cooling effectively.

Confirm the garment is clean and free from heavy soil, which can impede moisture-wicking. Ensure the fabric is not overly compressed by other layers, allowing for airflow.

Color has faded significantly.

While designed for durability, excessive sun exposure or harsh washing can lead to fading. Minimize direct prolonged sunlight when not in use and follow care label instructions precisely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties for all-day comfort.
  • High-visibility design meets safety standards.
  • Lightweight and flexible for ease of movement.
  • Durable construction, certified to maintain performance after washes.
  • Comfortable fit with taped seams and a soft fabric.
  • Added UV protection for outdoor work.

Cons

  • Slim fit may be restrictive for some body types.
  • Primarily designed for visibility, not heavy-duty industrial protection.
  • Reflective tape may be less durable than stitched options over extended, harsh use.
  • Lightweight fabric might be less suitable for extremely cold environments without layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This product requires no setup as it is a garment ready for immediate wear. It is compatible with standard work attire and safety equipment. To maintain its performance and visibility standards:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a low temperature (max 110°C / 230°F).
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Care for Reflective Tape: Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning methods directly on the reflective tape to preserve its integrity. Ensure the garment is washed inside out to protect the outer print and reflective elements.

Adhering to these care instructions will help ensure the t-shirt meets its certified standards (EN ISO 20471) even after 50 washes.
