Mercury Hi-Vis Polyester Polo

Yes. The Mercury Short Sleeve Hi Vis Polo Shirt is suitable for rail industry work because it is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 2 and explicitly meets RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2 requirements, which rail operators and contractors commonly require for high-visibility garments. It uses sewn-on reflective tape and high-visibility polyester fabric to maintain visibility in low-light and trackside environments. The lightweight 100% polyester construction and short sleeves give breathability and freedom of movement for active roles. This makes it a good choice for railway maintenance crews, trackside inspectors, and contractors who need RIS compliance and mid-level visibility. Note that as a Class 2 garment it offers mid-risk visibility; roles that require the highest visibility levels may need Class 3 garments or additional hi-vis layers, and short sleeves will require layering in cold conditions.

The Mercury Hi Vis Polo is designed for everyday site use and offers solid durability for typical construction and logistics tasks. It is made from 100% polyester, a fabric known for abrasion resistance and colour retention, and features sewn-on reflective tape which is generally more durable than heat-applied alternatives. The garment’s construction and lightweight fabric balance comfort and lifespan for regular wear. For best longevity, follow the care instructions to avoid harsh detergents and high-temperature drying that can degrade reflective tape over many wash cycles. This polo suits general construction crews and site operatives who need breathable, visible workwear; however, it is not intended as cut-resistant, flame-retardant, or chemical-protective PPE, so choose specialist garments for those hazards.

Yes, you can add a company logo, but with conditions to preserve safety certification. The product is listed as customizable, so embroidery or printing on plain fabric areas is normally acceptable. You must avoid placing logos or custom prints over the sewn-on reflective tape or in positions that obscure the certified high-visibility panels, because altering or covering the retroreflective areas can void EN ISO 20471 and RIS compliance. To keep the garment compliant, request customization guidance from Eg Clothing UK or their customization service and confirm final approval for the decorated sample. This approach works well for site managers and fleet owners who want branded PPE while maintaining required visibility standards.
