The Portwest S280 Hi-Vis Cotton Comfort T-Shirt is designed for adult males working in environments where visibility and comfort are paramount. Its key benefit is the blend of high visibility, durability, and breathability, ensuring workers stay safe and comfortable throughout the day. A potential caveat is that the moisture-wicking properties may vary depending on the intensity of physical activity and environmental conditions. This t-shirt features a superior cotton-polyester blend for comfort and durability, a two-tone design to mask dirt, reflective tape for enhanced visibility, and UPF 35+ rated fabric for UV protection. It also includes a chest pocket and taped neck seam for added comfort and practicality.

The t-shirt is made from a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, with a knit weight of 175g.
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
UPF 35+ indicates that the fabric blocks over 97% of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering significant protection against sun damage.
It is ideal for environments requiring high visibility and comfort. For extreme cold, additional layers are recommended. For environments with chemical or heavy impact hazards, specialized protective clothing may be necessary.
The garment is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards after 50 washes, ensuring its high-visibility properties are maintained for a reasonable period under recommended care.
Yes, the orange variant of the Portwest S280 complies with RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1, which is a specific standard for the rail industry in the UK.
The moisture-wicking and breathable fabric helps keep you comfortable in warm conditions. However, in very high temperatures, consider wearing it as a base layer or opting for short-sleeved versions if available and appropriate for your safety requirements.
Ensure the t-shirt is clean and that the reflective tape is not damaged or covered by other garments. Verify the garment meets the required visibility standard for your work environment (e.g., EN ISO 20471 Class 2).
Adjust base layers according to ambient temperature. The moisture-wicking fabric helps regulate temperature, but performance can be enhanced by appropriate layering.
While the two-tone design helps conceal dirt, heavy or specific types of stains may still be noticeable. Follow care instructions for stain removal. For severe stains, consider spot cleaning or professional cleaning if appropriate, though this may affect certification.
Inspect the reflective tape regularly. If peeling or damage occurs, the high-visibility rating is compromised. Consider replacing the garment if it no longer meets safety requirements.
Setup: This t-shirt requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.
Compatibility: The Portwest S280 is designed for general workwear. It is compatible with other standard work attire, such as high-visibility trousers, jackets, or safety footwear. The S280 meets EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standards, and the orange variant also complies with RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry use. Always ensure the garment is clean and undamaged for optimal performance.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and performance of the t-shirt, follow these care guidelines:
*Note: Avoid using fabric softeners as they can affect the moisture-wicking properties and the reflectivity of the tape.*
