Hi Vis Polos & Tees: Lightweight Safety and Comfort for Australian Worksites

When it comes to combining visibility, comfort and professional presentation, hi vis polos and tees are a staple across Australian worksites. From construction and logistics to warehousing and road crews, these lightweight garments provide essential safety compliance without sacrificing breathability.

Why Hi Vis Polos & Tees Are Essential

High visibility clothing plays a critical role in reducing workplace accidents. Workers operating around machinery, vehicles or roadside traffic must remain clearly visible at all times.

Hi vis polos and tees are ideal because they:

• Improve daytime visibility

• Offer lightweight comfort in hot conditions

• Provide freedom of movement

• Maintain a professional team appearance

• Meet Australian safety standards when required

For many industries, high visibility workwear isn’t optional — it’s mandatory.

Built to Meet Australian Safety Standards

Quality hi vis polos and tees should comply with AS/NZS 4602.1, which sets requirements for high visibility safety garments used for day and night applications.

Depending on the job site, you may need:

• Day-use only garments

• Day/Night compliant garments with reflective tape

• Specific colour requirements (such as yellow or orange)

Choosing compliant workwear ensures both safety and adherence to workplace regulations.

Lightweight Comfort for Australian Conditions

Australia’s climate can be harsh, especially during summer. Hi vis polos and tees are popular because they are lighter than traditional work shirts, making them ideal for hot and humid environments.

WorkArmour’s hi vis polos and tees are designed with:

• Breathable fabrics

• Moisture-wicking technology

• Lightweight construction

• Soft-touch materials for comfort

These features help reduce heat stress and keep workers comfortable during long shifts.

Hi Vis Polos: A Professional Upgrade

Hi vis polos offer a more structured and professional look compared to standard t-shirts. They’re especially popular among:

• Supervisors

• Site managers

• Delivery drivers

• Warehouse teams

• Service technicians

The collared design presents a polished appearance while maintaining compliance and comfort. Hi vis polos are also ideal for businesses wanting to add embroidered logos for branding consistency.

Hi Vis Tees: Everyday Practical Performance

Hi vis tees are the go-to choice for workers who prioritise lightweight flexibility and unrestricted movement.

They are perfect for:

• Construction labourers

• Landscapers

• Factory workers

• Outdoor maintenance crews

With minimal bulk and maximum airflow, hi vis tees allow easy movement throughout physically demanding tasks.

Reflective Options for Day/Night Use

For low-light environments or night works, hi vis polos and tees with reflective tape provide 360-degree visibility. Reflective striping enhances safety when exposed to headlights, machinery lighting or reduced visibility conditions.

These garments are commonly required for:

• Road construction crews

• Rail workers

• Mining operations

• Infrastructure projects

Always check site-specific requirements to ensure compliance.

Durability That Withstands the Workday

Even lightweight garments must handle tough conditions. WorkArmour hi vis polos and tees are built with durability in mind, featuring:

• Reinforced stitching

• Fade-resistant fabric

• Shape retention after repeated washing

• Quality reflective tape on compliant styles

Workwear should work as hard as you do.

Easy Care and Long-Term Value

Frequent washing is part of worksite hygiene. High-quality hi vis polos and tees are designed to maintain their colour, structure and reflective performance over time.

To extend garment life:

• Follow care instructions

• Avoid harsh detergents

• Do not over-dry reflective garments

• Replace garments if visibility fades

Proper care ensures continued compliance and value for money.
