Hi Vis T-Shirts
Wearing high visibility clothing is a necessity in certain workplaces. When you work somewhere that sightlines can be cluttered, bright and reflective clothing is a vital part of staying safe.
But not everyone is comfortable in a hi-vis vest. Designed to be easy to put on and remove, even high-quality vests are loose fitting and can get in the way when you’re moving around a lot.
A hi-vis t-shirt solves this problem. They keep you safe without adding layers that impact your movement or your work day.
Our range of shirts are designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. Made from durable, breathable fabrics, with features that keep them as comfortable as a cotton tee, they’ll keep you safe and keep you seen without causing any discomfort.
Explore the full range of hi-vis t-shirts to find the perfect fit for you.
Hi Vis T-Shirts
A hi-vis yellow t-shirt is the most common choice for workers who need to be seen. Fluorescent yellow fabric is high contrast in many work environments, including against a blue sky while working at height, or grey tarmac on urban sites. All our hi-vis shirts also include reflective strips so you can be seen in low-light conditions too.
Our shirts are lightweight, making them perfect for warm weather or indoor use where a hi-vis vest might be too bulky. They’re made from breathable materials to keep you cool while working as well.
For a comfortable option, we suggest the Blackrock Hi-Vis T-Shirt. As well as being made from a soft knit fabric, it’s moisture-wicking to keep you cool and dry even on hot days.
Hi Vis T-Shirt
A hi-vis t-shirt provides the perfect balance of visibility, comfort, and practicality. Unlike traditional safety vests, these t-shirts fit securely so there is no risk of flapping while you’re working. Their high-contrast colours make you easy to spot, while their robust construction and reinforced seams mean they won’t tear or come apart easily.
If you need a durable and professional-looking hi-vis t-shirt, the Pro RTX Hi-Vis T-Shirt is a fantastic option. It provides all-day comfort while meeting high-visibility safety standards for various industries, including transport and security.
Orange Hi Vis T-Shirt
For road workers, rail workers and workplaces where heavy machinery increases the safety risk, an orange hi-vis vest is a great choice. In fact, it’s usually a legal requirement.
Orange offers the highest possible contrast from most colours, including green natural spaces like forests and fields, and more colourful industrial or logistics settings like warehouses or rail yards. Combined with reflective strips, orange hi-vis clothing will help you stand out anywhere.
The Regatta Hi-Vis Pro Contract T-Shirt is a great choice for those needing a high-quality, high-visibility orange shirt. Certified for wearing on railways, this shirt has a ribbed collar to reduce rubbing, and is made from quick-dry, breathable material. It even offers UPF 40 protection against the sun to keep you safe on long days out in the sun.
Construction Hi Vis T-Shirts
Construction workers particularly benefit from choosing a hi-vis t-shirt over a vest. If your work involves repetitive tasks or movements, a vest can get in the way, while a t-shirt will give you that needed visibility without other negative impacts.
The Regatta Hi-Vis X-Pro T-shirt Class 1 is a top choice for construction site wear. Made from durable, breathable fabric, the reflective strips on this shirt leave gaps before the side seams to keep these shirts as flexible as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
We think the Regatta X-Pro t-shirt is our best hi-vis t-shirt when it comes to safety. As well as its neon yellow colour, its reflective strips are chevron-shaped so people won’t just be able to see you - they’ll know which way you’re facing and even moving. It’s also made from a mix of polyester and bamboo, which is super soft, and has mesh underarm panels that make it more flexible, more breathable and - ultimately - more comfortable. Most impressive of all, this shirt also has naturally antibacterial properties to reduce odours.
The main reason most people pick a shirt over a vest for the hi-vis safety gear, is comfort. A loose fitting vest is often irritating, while our shirts are designed to offer a closer fit while still being comfortable thanks to a variety of design features. T-shirts are more difficult to remove, so they’re not a great choice if you only need to wear this PPE occasionally, but if you need to spend the whole day in it, a t-shirt is the most comfortable choice.
An orange hi-vis t-shirt is often required for specific industries such as railway and highway maintenance. It provides excellent contrast against different backgrounds, ensuring worker safety. The Regatta Hi-Vis Pro Contract T-Shirt is a durable and comfortable option that meets industry regulations.
A construction hi-vis t-shirt is designed for workers who need enhanced visibility while maintaining comfort. These shirts are lightweight, breathable, and compliant with workplace safety standards.
