Technical Data

Material &
Specification

The Portwest RT23 Hi-Vis Short Sleeve T-Shirt is the lightest hi-vis shirt in the range and was specially developed for maximum breathability and high wearing comfort during summer work assignments. The 100% polyester Bird-Eye-Knit from the sports sector ensures a particularly light, quick-drying and moisture-wicking feel.

The shirt meets the requirements of EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and, thanks to its reflective strips, offers reliable visibility day and night. In addition, it is certified according to the RIS 3279-TOM rail standard and is therefore expressly suitable for use in railway and track areas – ideal for infrastructure, maintenance and work on the rail network.

With UPF 50+, the RT23 offers very high UV protection and reliably protects against intense sunlight during long outdoor assignments. The OEKO-TEX® certification also confirms the skin-friendly and tested material quality, free of harmful substances.

Particularly practical: The RT23 is made of the same material quality as the RT22 polo shirt and thus forms a uniform workwear series for professional teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What is the difference between RT23 (T-shirt) and RT22 (polo shirt)?
The RT23 and RT22 use the same 100% polyester bird-eye knit fabric (175 g/m²) and have the same certifications (EN ISO 20471, RIS 3279-TOM, UPF 50+). The difference lies in the cut: the RT23 is a classic T-shirt without a collar or buttons, while the RT22 is a polo shirt with the distinctive grey contrast collar. The T-shirt is even lighter to wear and more affordable.
What is the difference between UPF 50+ and other UPF values?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) indicates how much UV radiation the fabric allows to pass through. UPF 40+ blocks 97.5% of UV radiation, UPF 50+ blocks over 98% – the RT23 is rated UPF 50+, offering the highest standardized protection factor. For long working days outdoors, this is a significant difference that contributes to long-term skin health.
Does the RIS 3279-TOM railway standard apply to the RT23?
Yes – the RT23 was specifically developed for railway companies and fully complies with the RIS 3279-TOM railway standard. As the shirt is only available in orange, the certification applies to all orders of this model, regardless of size.
What does OEKO-TEX mean for a high-visibility shirt?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is an independent certification that confirms all materials used in the product have been tested for harmful substances and are harmless to health. This is particularly important for shirts worn directly on the skin – like the RT23. The certification covers harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.
How is the RT23 washed?
Machine wash according to manufacturer's instructions. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners – these can impair the brightness of the warning color and the reflective strips. The polyester bird-eye knit fabric dries very quickly and is particularly easy to care for. EN ISO 20471 norm conformity is confirmed after up to 50 washes.
Are bulk discounts and company branding possible?
Yes. For orders of 10 items or more, we offer tiered quantity discounts. Company branding and embroidery are also available upon request. Contact us directly.
