T-SHIRTS High-visibility PPE

The High Visibility classification refers to garments designed to significantly increase the wearer’s visibility in potentially hazardous work environments. These PPE T-shirts incorporate fluorescent materials that ensure visibility during the day and reflective elements that ensure visibility at night or in low light conditions. According to the EN ISO 20471 standard, T-shirts are classified into three classes (1, 2 or 3), depending on the area of ​​reflective and fluorescent material present in the garment. At RAG Tailors, we develop high visibility T-shirts that meet the strictest regulatory requirements, ensuring maximum protection for professionals in risk situations.

At RAG Tailors, we use premium materials to make our High Visibility T-shirts. High-quality polyester is the main base material due to its exceptional durability and ability to withstand reflective and fluorescent materials. We complement it with cotton compositions for greater comfort and moisture absorption during long working hours. Our fabrics have antibacterial properties and are designed to withstand frequent washing at high temperatures (up to 60°C), maintaining their fluorescent and reflective properties intact. The reflective strips are made with high-intensity glass microspheres, ensuring visibility at long distances even in extremely low light conditions.

The EN ISO 20471 standard establishes three classes of high visibility clothing, based on the minimum area of ​​fluorescent and reflective material that the garment must contain. Class 3 represents the maximum level of protection, requiring at least 0.80m² of fluorescent material and 0.20m² of reflective material, and is ideal for high-risk environments such as night work on motorways. Class 2 requires 0.50m² of fluorescent material and 0.13m² of reflective material, suitable for moderate-risk environments. Class 1 requires 0.14m² of fluorescent material and 0.10m² of reflective material, which is the minimum acceptable for high visibility PPE. At RAG Tailors, we offer T-shirts in all classes, allowing you to choose the most appropriate level of protection for each type of work and environment.

High visibility T-shirts are essential in many professional sectors where worker visibility is crucial to safety. The construction industry makes extensive use of this PPE for work on public roads and construction sites. In the transport and logistics sector, drivers, dockworkers and forklift operators rely on this protection. Road and rail maintenance teams also need these T-shirts for work at night or in adverse weather conditions. Sanitation and waste collection professionals, emergency services, outdoor events and security also benefit from this protection. RAG Tailors supplies high visibility T-shirts tailored to the specific needs of each sector, with different technical features depending on the working environment.

To preserve the effectiveness of high visibility T-shirts, it is essential to follow some maintenance recommendations. We recommend regular washing at appropriate temperatures (up to 60°C for cotton materials and special RAG Tailors microfibres), using neutral detergents and avoiding aggressive bleaches that can degrade fluorescent pigments. The garments should be dried in the shade, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can reduce reflective properties. Avoid ironing directly over the reflective strips. Regularly inspect the reflective materials for signs of wear or loss of reflectivity. Replace the garment when you notice a significant reduction in the intensity of the fluorescent colour or the reflective capacity of the strips, generally after 20-25 industrial wash cycles.

Choosing the correct size for a high visibility T-shirt is essential for both the comfort and safety of the wearer. The garment should be loose enough to allow unrestricted movement, but not so loose that it could become entangled in machinery or equipment. At RAG Tailors, we provide a detailed sizing chart that covers chest, waist and length. We recommend measuring a garment that fits the wearer comfortably and comparing it to our chart. For professional teams, we offer personalized advice to determine the most appropriate sizes for each employee. Please note that high visibility T-shirts that are too tight can reduce the visible area of ​​fluorescent material, compromising the effectiveness of the PPE and potentially reducing its safety rating.
