What Industries Can Use a Hi-Vis Polo Shirt?
Due to its increased visibility and breathable nature, the Bird Eye Hi-Vis Polo Shirt can be used in both underground settings and dark environments. With its ventilated fabric and UPF 40+ rating for protecting against harmful rays, the Hi-Vis Polo is also suited to daytime or hotter climates and is not limited to night-time hours. The Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is optimally used for a variety of professions, including:
- Railway Workers
- Traffic Guard
- Security
- Event Marshalling
- Forklift Driving
- Building and Construction

The orange hi-vis as opposed to the yellow hi-vis PPE is associated with hazard and warning signals, often prompting quicker recognition which can make it a safer option in potentially dangerous environments.
Durable and Long-Lasting Wear
Designed for durability and comfort in mind, the Supertouch Hi-Vis Polo can uphold its reflective quality for up to twenty five washes with no reduction in visibility. Wash your polo on a 40° wash and refrain from tumble drying to get the optimal, long-lasting result from this product.
Can This Be Worn in Hotter Temperatures?
This versatile and adaptable Supertouch Hi-Vis Polo hits the mark by providing contrasting benefits, allowing you to wear it in varying temperatures and climates. Its luminosity makes it well-placed in low-light levels, whilst its breathability and added wicking treatment ensures the fabric provides a cooling mechanism in hotter environments.
Can This Be Worn In High UV Conditions?
Repelling harmful UV rays of UPF 40+ allows you to also wear the Supertouch Polo outside during summer months and will provide full upper body coverage from the sun. Featuring ventilated side panels and breathable fabric, the Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is constructed for warmer temperatures, keeping you cool and comfortable.
Why Should I Choose Orange for High Visibility?
Orange is commonly used for high-visibility workwear as it is high on the chromaticity scale. Orange's high luminance makes it easily detected and visible from a distance in both low and daylight conditions. It stands out starkly in natural backgrounds like greenery, blue skies, and grey pavement.
Why Do I Need to Wear Orange Hi-Vis as a UK Railway Worker?
Orange hi-vis workwear maintains warning or hazard connotations, as opposed to simple high visibility. Based on the European standard EN ISO 20471, orange hi-vis is legally required for those working on or near a railway in order to clearly distinguish between workers and traffic lights. If you are purchasing a sweatshirt especially for railway work, then this orange Supertouch Hi-Vis Bodywarmer would be a legally conforming option.
Is Orange Hi-Vis the Preferred Choice In Other Industries?
Both orange and yellow hi-vis workwear are accepted forms of high visibility apparel across various industries. Other industries have opted for orange hi-vis due to its unmistakable colour in natural backgrounds, as well as being deemed less attractive to insects.
