FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for all types of outdoor work?

Yes, the high-visibility features, UV protection, and moisture-wicking fabric make it suitable for many outdoor work environments, especially those requiring safety compliance.

Can the shirt be customized with a company logo?

Absolutely. The shirt is designed to be 'Corporate Wear Ready' and is ideal for custom finishes such as embroidery or heat transfer logos.

How does the 'metal-free' design benefit the wearer?

The 100% metal-free construction prevents potential scratches to the skin or damage to surfaces being worked on. It also ensures compliance in environments where metal objects are prohibited.

What does 'RIS 3279-TOM' compliance mean?

This standard specifically relates to the high-visibility requirements for clothing used in the UK rail industry. Compliance ensures the garment meets stringent safety standards for this sector.

How should I care for the shirt to maintain its high-visibility properties?

Wash at or below 40°C, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry on low, and iron on medium heat. Avoid dry cleaning. The shirt is certified for performance up to 50 washes when following these guidelines.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a UPF rating of 40+, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.

Does the slim fit affect comfort?

The slim fit is designed for a contemporary look and comfortable wear. However, if you prefer a more relaxed fit, sizing up is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears to lose reflectivity after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. The certification guarantees performance for 50 washes under specified conditions.

Shirt feels too tight or restrictive.

This garment features a slim fit. If you prefer a looser fit, consider ordering one size up or exploring other Portwest models with a regular fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements.

Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced.

Fabric softeners can interfere with moisture-wicking capabilities. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Ensure the garment is not heavily soiled, as dirt can also impede performance.
