FAQs

What does UPF 35+ mean?

UPF 35+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 97% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing significant protection against sun exposure.

Is this t-shirt suitable for all work environments?

It is ideal for environments requiring high visibility and comfort. For extremely cold weather, additional insulating layers would be necessary. Always check if the specific color and certification meet your site's safety regulations.

How should I care for this t-shirt to maintain its features?

Machine wash at 40°C with mild detergent, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Wash inside out and with similar colors. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to preserve the fabric's performance and reflective properties.

What is the difference between the orange and yellow variants regarding certification?

The orange variant is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1, specifically for the rail industry. The yellow variant is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 but does not carry the RIS 3279-TOM certification.

Can I wear this t-shirt in hot weather?

Yes, the breathable and moisture-wicking fabric makes it suitable for hot weather. It helps to keep you cool and dry by drawing sweat away from the skin.

How long will the reflective tape last?

The tape is designed for durability and certified to perform after 50 washes when care instructions are followed. Heavy abrasion or improper care can shorten its lifespan.

What size should I order?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer for the Portwest S280 model. It is designed with a comfortable fit, but checking measurements against the chart is recommended for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after multiple washes.

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, especially regarding detergent type and temperature. Wash inside out and avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade reflective tape.

Fabric feels less breathable than expected.

Check for blockages in the fabric weave from dirt or detergent buildup. Try a rinse cycle with a fabric softener or a specialized cleaner for performance wear. Ensure the garment is not overly worn, as fabric properties can diminish over time.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. If damage has occurred, the high-visibility certification may be compromised.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Treat stains promptly. For persistent stains, consult a stain removal guide specific to cotton-polyester blends, but test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using bleach.
