Portwest Two Tone Hi-Vis Sweatshirt - Orange/Blue - S

The 'Two Tone' design means the sweatshirt features two distinct colours. Typically, this includes a high-visibility fluorescent colour (like orange or yellow) for the upper part and shoulders, and a contrasting darker colour (like navy or blue) for the lower part and cuffs, which helps to conceal dirt.

This sweatshirt complies with EN ISO 20471 Class 3, which is the highest classification for high-visibility clothing, and RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1 for the orange colour variant, specifically for the rail industry.

The polycotton blend offers durability and comfort but may be less breathable than lighter synthetic fabrics in extreme heat. For very hot conditions, consider lighter weight hi-vis options.

The orange variant is certified to RIS 3279-TOM Issue 1, which is a specific standard often required for the UK rail industry. Always check your specific industry's safety regulations.

While designed with a male fit in mind, the 'Regular' fit type may allow some women to wear it comfortably. It is recommended to check the specific measurements against a well-fitting garment.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, offering significant protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.

The EN ISO 20471 standard certifies the garment's performance after 50 washes. Proper care is essential to maintain this performance over time.

This can occur due to improper washing or excessive wear. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh chemicals. If damage is significant, the garment's safety rating may be compromised.

Exposure to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh detergents can fade the fabric. Always wash dark colours separately and use mild detergents. Store the garment away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Consult the sizing chart before purchase. If the fit is an issue, consider trying a different size from the available range. Ensure the ribbed cuffs and hem are not overly stretched.
