Coolest (temperature) hi viz t-shirts/polos

[monkeybusiness]

Talk to me people - what are the best hi-viz shirts in this heat?

[Andy Collins]

Not yellow ones!! Magnets for those annoying little black beetles and numerous other flyey, stingey, bitey little blighters that become the bane of our lives.

I have the breathable Airtex type hi viz polos, find them relatively cool(ish), but i dont think anything is 100% perfect.

I use these. Thought it was a con at first but now Im a believer.

 

Under Armour Men's ColdGear - Baselayer

 

Just looked through and there was a few more to choose from

Orange rail waistcoats.

stretch air tshirts are simply the best tshirt on the market for hot weather IMO, and dont be pout off by the price either, ive had mine about 6 years now!

[Andy Collins]

But do Stretch air make a hi viz that meets highways requirements? Personally havent seen one yet.

[Steve Bullman]

I dont think any hi-viz t-shirt meets highways requirment does it? Unless im mistaken they have to be long sleeved

[Andy Collins]

Good point.

I think only EN471class 3 requires sleeves, for dual carriageways where speeds are 50mph and above, but i may be mistaken, sub 50 mph single lane routes only require EN471/1 or 2, ie waistcoats or t shirts. Again I could be wrong as I have yet to refresh on highways tickets.
