Engineered for Performance

The Portwest Two-Tone Long Sleeve Polo is engineered to solve the common trade-off between high-visibility compliance and wearer comfort. The foundation of this garment is its 100% Polyester Bird Eye knit fabric. This specific weave structure creates a lightweight, highly breathable material that facilitates rapid air circulation, preventing heat buildup during strenuous tasks. Weighing in at 175gsm, it is substantial enough to be durable but light enough to prevent fatigue. Safety is paramount, with the garment achieving EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification, making it suitable for intermediate risk environments such as warehousing, delivery, and site traffic management. Additionally, the fabric is treated to provide UPF 50+ protection, the highest rating available, ensuring that outdoor workers are shielded from 98% of harmful UV radiation. For businesses looking to upgrade their hi-vis polo shirts, this item delivers advanced fabric technology that supports employee wellbeing.

Comfort & Workforce Utility

Practicality in a working environment often comes down to how well a garment handles dirt and daily wear. This polo features a smart two-tone design, with darker contrast panels strategically placed in high-soil areas. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal of the uniform but also significantly extends the wearable life of the garment by masking grime and stains that would otherwise render a solid yellow shirt unwearable. The long sleeves provide added protection against abrasions and sun exposure, while the generous fit ensures freedom of movement for lifting and reaching. The collar and cuffs are ribbed for shape retention, ensuring the staff look professional at the start and end of their shift. It is an operational staple that combines the professional look of a polo with the functional benefits of technical safety wear.

Ideal Workplace Applications

• Warehouse staff requiring Class 2 visibility.
• Delivery drivers needing a smart, breathable uniform.
• Event marshals working in variable outdoor conditions.

Corporate Branding & Compatibility

The two-tone aesthetic frames the upper chest area perfectly for corporate branding. The bird eye knit fabric is stable and receptive to both embroidery and transfer printing, ensuring your logo remains sharp and legible. To create a cohesive look across your workforce, coordinate with Work Trousers in matching navy or black.
