Grey Contrast Collar

The unique selling point of the RT22: the elegant grey collar makes dirt and stains less visible in tough everyday work than a white or colored collar – for a consistently neat appearance.

Bird-Eye-Knit – quick & cool

The special Bird-Eye knit structure made of 100% polyester promotes air circulation, wicks moisture away from the body, and dries significantly faster than cotton. Ideal for physically demanding work in warm conditions.

EN ISO 20471 Hi-Vis

Certified according to EN ISO 20471 with fluorescent areas and reflective strips for maximum visibility during the day, at dusk, and in darkness – in all work environments with hi-vis requirements.

UPF 40+ UV Protection

The fabric blocks 98% of UV rays – reliable sun protection for all outdoor activities. Particularly valuable during long shifts on construction sites, in road construction, and for outdoor work.

50× Washes Standard Compliant

EN ISO 20471 certification tested and confirmed after 50 washes – no loss of hi-vis effectiveness or UV blocking due to frequent washing over the entire service life.

RIS 3279-TOM & S to 5XL

As the only orange version, the RT22 fully complies with the rail standard RIS 3279-TOM. The wide range of sizes from S to 5XL ensures maximum coverage for all body sizes in the team.


Material &
Specification

The Portwest RT22 hi-vis short sleeve polo shirt combines high visibility with lightweight comfort and is ideal for warm workdays indoors and outdoors. The functional Bird-Eye-Knit fabric ensures optimal breathability and reliably wicks moisture away from the body.

The polo shirt meets the requirements of EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and offers excellent visibility in work environments such as construction, logistics, industry, and road traffic due to reflective strips and the striking warning color.

Particularly important: The RT22 is also suitable for the railway and track area, as the orange version complies with the RIS-3279-TOM standard for the railway sector. This makes it ideal for track construction, railway services, maintenance, and work in safety-critical railway environments.

In addition, the material offers UPF 40+ UV protection and reliably protects against sun exposure during extended outdoor use. The lightweight construction ensures maximum freedom of movement and high comfort even during intensive physical work.

FAQ

Why does the RT22 have a grey collar instead of a white one?
The grey contrast collar is a conscious design choice for everyday work: collars are particularly prone to getting dirty. The grey tone makes dirt and stains much less noticeable than a white collar – this extends the optical lifespan of the shirt and significantly reduces cleaning effort.
What is Bird-Eye-Knit?
Bird-Eye-Knit is a special knitting structure with small open meshes that give the fabric particular breathability. The structure promotes air circulation, quickly wicks moisture away, and dries significantly faster than conventional polo shirt fabrics – ideal for physically demanding work in warm conditions.
Is the RT22 also available in yellow or other colors?
No – the RT22 is exclusively available in orange. For a hi-vis polo shirt in yellow, we recommend the T180 or DX412 from our range, which are offered in several color variants including yellow and yellow/navy.
Does the RIS 3279-TOM rail standard apply to the RT22?
Yes – the RT22 fully meets the RIS 3279-TOM rail standard. Since the shirt is exclusively available in orange, the certification automatically applies to all orders of this model, regardless of the chosen size.
How is the RT22 washed?
Machine wash according to manufacturer's instructions. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners – these can impair the luminosity of the warning color and the reflective strips. The Bird-Eye-Knit fabric dries very quickly. EN ISO 20471 standard compliance is confirmed after up to 50 washes.
Are bulk discounts and company branding possible?
Yes. For orders of 10 pieces or more, we offer tiered quantity discounts. Company branding and embroidery are also available upon request. Contact us directly.
