LEO Workwear Yellow Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Polo Shirt - EcoViz
LEO Workwear hi-vis long sleeve polo shirt certified to ISO 20471 Class 3, the highest level of hi-vis protection for general site and roadside work. Made from EcoViz recycled polyester, the fabric offers durability and good wicking performance while reducing the energy used in manufacturing. UV protection to UPF 40+ adds sun protection for outdoor wear.
How Class 3 certification suits demanding site environments
General construction and roadside sites carry genuine visibility risk, particularly around moving plant, vehicles and traffic, and a lower hi-vis class doesn't provide the same margin of protection in those conditions. Standard Class 2 garments cover less visible and retroreflective area than Class 3, the difference that matters most in low light, poor weather or high traffic environments. This polo meets the full Class 3 requirement, giving the largest area of visible and retroreflective material available under the standard.
Key Features

Who is this for
This polo shirt is worn by groundworkers and general site operatives needing Class 3 certified hi-vis for daily construction and site work. Roadside and highways operatives use it where visibility around traffic and plant is a genuine safety concern, while site managers specify it as standard issue PPE across a workforce. It suits any role needing the highest level of hi-vis certification in a breathable, wearable garment.
Typical applications
-
General construction site work requiring Class 3 hi-vis certification.
-
Roadside and highways maintenance work around moving traffic and plant.
-
Outdoor work requiring UV protection alongside hi-vis compliance.
-
Site inductions and visitor wear where Class 3 hi-vis is mandated.
-
Facilities and grounds maintenance in areas with vehicle movement.
How to use
Step 1: Select the correct size using the chest to fit measurements in the size guide.
Step 2: Wear the garment outside of trousers and other outer clothing to maintain the required visible area.
Step 3: Fasten all buttons to keep the garment closed and the hi-vis area correctly displayed.
Step 4: Wash at 40°C following the care label, avoiding bleach, dry cleaning, tumble drying and ironing.
Step 5: Inspect the garment regularly and replace if the hi-vis or reflective properties become visibly degraded.
Common mistakes
-
Wearing the garment underneath other clothing, reducing or hiding the required visible area.
-
Leaving buttons undone, reducing the effective hi-vis area displayed.
-
Washing above 40°C or using bleach, which can degrade the reflective tape and fabric performance.
-
Continuing to wear a garment with visibly worn reflective tape past the 50 wash cycle rating.
Safety
This garment must be worn outside of trousers and fastened to maintain the required area of visible high-visibility material. If the high-visibility properties become seriously impaired through wear or washing, the garment should be replaced. UV protection is reduced if the garment is stretched or wet, and only covers areas actually covered by the fabric.
Maintenance
Machine wash at 40°C only, do not bleach, dry clean, tumble dry or iron. The garment is certified to 50 wash cycles, though actual lifetime also depends on usage, care and storage. Store in clean, dry conditions, not in direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does ISO 20471 Class 3 actually mean?
A: ISO 20471 is the European standard for high visibility clothing, with Class 3 being the highest classification. It requires a minimum of 0.8m² of background material and 0.2m² of retroreflective material, the largest area of any class, making it suitable for the highest risk work environments including major roads and busy construction sites.
Q: Is this garment supplied with compliance documentation?
A: Yes, this product is supplied with EU and UKCA Declarations of Conformity, confirming certification to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 3 and EN ISO 13688:2013/A1:2021, the general requirements standard for protective clothing. These are available on request for procurement or compliance records.
Q: Is this the same as the LEO "Coolviz" garment referenced on some documents?
A: Yes, LEO's compliance documentation (the EU and UKCA Declarations of Conformity) references this garment under the "Coolviz" fabric designation, while the product datasheet and packaging use "EcoViz." Both refer to the same recycled polyester fabric and the same certified garment, model LP-002.
Q: What is this polo shirt NOT suitable for?
A: This garment must be worn outside of trousers and other outer clothing to maintain its required visible area, wearing it underneath other layers defeats its purpose. It isn't RIS-3279-TOM compliant in this yellow colourway, for railway trackside work requiring the specific compliant orange, the orange version of this garment is the correct choice. Replace it once hi-vis properties become visibly degraded rather than continuing to wear it.
Q: Why choose EcoViz recycled polyester over standard hi-vis fabric?
A: EcoViz is made from recycled polyester, significantly reducing the energy used in manufacturing compared to standard polyester while still offering the durability and wicking performance needed for site wear. It's a way to meet hi-vis compliance requirements without the same environmental footprint as non-recycled fabric.
Q: How many wash cycles is this garment rated for?
A: It's certified to 50 wash cycles at 40°C, meaning the reflective tape and hi-vis properties are tested to maintain performance through that many washes. Actual garment lifetime also depends on usage, care and storage, so it may need replacing sooner if worn heavily or washed incorrectly.
Q: What size should I order?
A: Sizing is based on chest measurement, check the size guide above for the chest to fit range for each size from S to XL. If you're between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for comfort and ease of movement.
