Bisley Taped Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt

The Bisley Taped Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt is a top-tier choice for men who need the rugged, professional performance of traditional drill cotton without the heat buildup that often accompanies it. Constructed from 155gsm preshrunk 100% cotton drill, this ventilated safety shirt provides exceptional durability against daily wear and tear while feeling impressively light against the skin. Its two-piece contrast-colored structured collar maintains a sharp, professional silhouette, making it as suitable for site meetings as it is for hands-on technical work. Designed with a clear focus on worksite safety, the Bisley Hi Vis shirt features a reflective taped hoop pattern, ensuring high visibility during low-light hours or in high-traffic zones.

This shirt is a masterclass in worksite thermal management. It moves away from the "stiff" feel of standard drill shirts by integrating a sophisticated ventilation system. Vertical cotton mesh panels running down the back and specialized mesh ventilation under the arms work together to pull heat away from the body, providing constant airflow where you need it most. With two secure button-down chest pockets including a dedicated pen division on the left this shirt offers the perfect blend of structural integrity, breathability, and functional storage for the modern tradesman.

Usage Tips

Styling and practical tips for the Bisley Taped Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt

• Always turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the reflective tape from abrasion; avoid hot tumble drying as high heat can damage the tape's reflective coating.
• Because it’s high-vis, pre-treat cuffs and collars with a stain remover if you work in oily or greasy environments to keep the color vibrant and compliant.
• Use a low-to-medium setting; avoid placing your iron directly onto the reflective tape or the cotton mesh panels to prevent melting.
• These shirts are designed for a standard workwear fit, but if you plan on layering a singlet underneath in winter, you may find your regular size fits perfectly.
• Lines dry in the shade; sunlight can cause the hi-vis dyes to fade faster, and the reflective tape lasts significantly longer when kept away from harsh UV exposure.
