Hi Vis Polo Shirts
Not everyone feels comfortable when layering a hi-vis vest over their work clothes. On scorching summer days, that extra material brings too much heat, while the extra layer can feel uncomfortable and limit your ability to move.
Our range of offering workers a more stylish and breathable alternative. Feature lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics, they help you stay cool while maintaining high visibility. Ideal for industries such as construction, logistics, and security, they comply with HSE safety standards without restricting movement or impacting your comfort.
For a premium short-sleeve option, we recommend the Blackrock Hi-Vis Short Sleeve Polo Shirt. It provides high visibility, with reflective tape for low-light conditions, and a comfortable fit suitable for all-day wear.
Short-sleeved Hi Vis Polos
A lot of people choose a hi-vis polo to avoid layering up their workwear. Too many layers can leave you sweating during difficult tasks, and when you’re working hard the last thing you need is discomfort adding to your struggles.
With a short-sleeved hi-vis polo, that level of comfort comes without sacrificing a professional look. The structured collar creates a more formal appearance which is particularly useful if you work around the public, on the roads or trains. If your workwear needs to tick boxes on visibility and practicality AND comfort, our short-sleeved hi-vis polos are perfect.
Breathable, durable fabrics
Our polo shirts are made from polyester blends that can meet the demands of difficult workplaces. These shirts will endure regular washes and the friction of repetitive movement without wearing holes or coming apart at the seams.
However these fabrics are also constructed to keep you cool. The soft knit is gentle against your skin while also being breathable, so these shirts let air circulate against your skin while their moisture wicking ability will stop you getting damp.
Hi Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt
If you need added protection from the elements (be that wind, rain or sun) then a long sleeve polo could be a better choice. They’ll also keep your arms covered and clear from dirt, dust or other debris in the air and protect against minor abrasions and workplace hazards.
The Blackrock Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt is made from durable but breathable fabric with reinforced seams, meaning it keeps you comfortable long term. It will withstand the repeated washing necessary for workwear and won’t restrict movement. This polo is well-suited for those working in construction, road maintenance, or any high-risk environment where you need full-arm coverage.

If you need to wear high visibility clothing all day, then a polo can be a much more comfortable - and professional - option than a vest. Unlike vests, polos don’t shift or flap in windy conditions. They also won’t hang open and risk getting caught or stuck in machinery or mechanisms. While a zip-up hi-vis shirt does offer some protection against these issues, it will still be an additional layer that adds a bulk and can restrict movement. Unless you need to be able to remove your hi-vis clothing for a reason, a polo can be a much more comfortable and practical option.
A hi-vis long sleeve polo shirt is perfect for outdoor workers. Keeping your arms covered helps you stay warm in cold weather, while they also provide a barrier against sun exposure on hotter days.
