FAQs

What is the material composition of the Portwest S280 T-Shirt?

The t-shirt is made from a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Polyester, with a knit weight of 175g.

How should I wash this t-shirt?

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.

What does UPF 35+ mean?

UPF 35+ indicates that the fabric blocks over 97% of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering significant protection against sun damage.

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

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.

How long is the t-shirt certified to maintain its performance?

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.

Does the orange color meet rail industry standards?

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.

Can I wear this t-shirt in hot weather?

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.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt not visible enough

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).

Feeling too warm or too cool

Adjust base layers according to ambient temperature. The moisture-wicking fabric helps regulate temperature, but performance can be enhanced by appropriate layering.

Stains are still visible

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.

Reflective tape peeling or damaged

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.
