FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Hivistex Pro reflective tape?
The Hivistex Pro tape is heat-applied and segmented, offering excellent visibility while remaining flexible for greater mobility compared to traditional solid reflective tapes.
How does the moisture-wicking fabric help?
It draws sweat away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate, helping to keep you cool and dry throughout the day.
What does '40+ UPF rated fabric' mean?
It means the fabric has a Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 40 or higher, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation.
Is this t-shirt suitable for cold weather?
While the fabric is breathable, it is lightweight. For cold weather, it is best used as a base or mid-layer with other insulating garments.
How long does the high-visibility certification last?
The garment is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards after 50 washes. Performance of the reflective tape may diminish after this period or with improper care.
Can I get this t-shirt customized with a company logo?
Yes, the t-shirt is suitable for corporate wear and custom finishes, often through heat transfer or printing methods. Please consult a professional customization service.
What sizes are available?
This specific guide page focuses on the XXXXXL size in Yellow. The Portwest DX413 model is available in a range of sizes, as well as other colors like Orange.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt is not visible enough.
Ensure the reflective tape is clean and undamaged. The t-shirt is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards, but performance can be reduced if soiled or worn.
Fabric feels damp or not breathable.
The moisture-wicking fabric works best when sweat can evaporate. Ensure you are not wearing multiple layers that trap moisture underneath. Check care label for correct washing instructions, as fabric softener can sometimes impair wicking properties.
Seams feel uncomfortable.
The taped neck seam is designed for comfort. Ensure the garment is worn the correct way out and that no undergarments are causing friction.
Reflective tape is peeling or cracking after washing.
Follow the care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing temperature and tumble drying. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. If the garment has been washed more than 50 times, some degradation of the tape is expected as per the standard.
