Hi Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirts

Hi vis long sleeve polo shirts are the right choice when your site demands maximum coverage, arm protection, and the highest visibility classification available in a polo shirt format. Every long sleeve polo shirt in this collection is certified to EN ISO 20471 — the UK and European standard for high-visibility safety clothing — and when worn in yellow or orange alongside EN ISO 20471 certified hi vis trousers, achieves Class 3 compliance. That makes them the go-to garment for highways workers, traffic management operatives, rail-adjacent teams, and anyone working in environments where high-speed vehicles are present.

Hi Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirts Certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3

Our long sleeve hi vis polo shirts are available in yellow/black and orange/black colourways, in sizes S to 2XL. The moisture-wicking polyester mix fabric keeps you dry and comfortable through physically demanding shifts, while the collar and button placket give a professional appearance that sets them apart from a basic hi vis t-shirt. Pair with our hi vis trousers to achieve full Class 3 compliance, or layer under an EN ISO 20471 certified hi vis hoodie when the temperature drops on site.

Who Needs a Hi Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt?

Long sleeve hi vis polo shirts are specified on any site where a short sleeve garment cannot meet the required visibility classification, or where weather conditions and physical exposure make arm coverage essential. The workers who buy them most often include:

Highways maintenance and traffic management teams operating on or adjacent to live carriageways, where orange or yellow long sleeve garments certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 are required. Rail-adjacent workers who need the additional coverage and certification level that a long sleeve polo provides over a short sleeve version. Utilities engineers, water industry operatives, and telecom field workers who spend extended shifts in outdoor environments where windchill and UV exposure are a factor. Logistics drivers and yard operatives who need a professional, certified alternative to a full hi vis jacket. Site managers and safety officers who need a smarter garment for client visits without dropping below their required certification class.

If your site PPE requirements specify Class 3 and a jacket feels too heavy for the conditions, a certified yellow or orange long sleeve hi vis polo shirt worn with hi vis trousers is your most practical solution.

Yellow or Orange — Which Colour Do You Need?

Both yellow and orange are approved fluorescent background colours under EN ISO 20471, and both are available in our long sleeve polo range. The right colour depends on your working environment and site PPE specification.

Yellow hi vis long sleeve polo shirts are the standard across most UK construction, utilities, and facilities management environments. If your site PPE spec simply says "hi-vis" without specifying a colour, yellow is almost always the required or preferred option.

Orange hi vis long sleeve polo shirts are typically required for roadside work, traffic management operations, and environments where workers are exposed to live traffic. Orange provides higher contrast against yellow lane markings and road surfaces, which is why it is specified for highways maintenance teams and traffic management operatives. Our orange long sleeve polo shirts carry the same EN ISO 20471 certification as the yellow range — the only difference is colour, not safety classification.

If you manage a team that operates across both general site and roadside environments, stocking both colours means your full workforce is covered to spec year-round.
