PULSAR® LIFE Long Sleeve T-Shirt Yellow - Bamboo Content

Sustainable hi-vis workwear that performs as hard as you do.

The PULSAR® LIFE Long Sleeve Hi-Vis T-Shirt in yellow combines genuine eco-credentials with industry-leading visibility, giving outdoor workers, highway crews, rail staff and construction professionals a smarter alternative to traditional synthetic high-visibility clothing. Made from a breathable blend of 60% recycled polyester and 40% bamboo, this Class 3 certified long sleeve T-shirt keeps you cool, dry and protected through long shifts in changing conditions.

Bamboo brings naturally soft, moisture-wicking comfort against the skin, while the recycled polyester delivers the durability and colour retention demanded on site. The result is a high-performance hi-vis T-shirt that feels closer to premium activewear than conventional workwear – without compromising on safety standards.

Heat-applied segmented reflective tape stretches and moves with you for unrestricted mobility, while the ribbed bamboo-rich neck trim and side-split hem add everyday wearing comfort. Rudolf antimicrobial treatment helps reduce odour build-up between washes, and a natural UPF 40+ rating provides reliable protection from harmful UV rays during outdoor work.

Certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 3 and tested to retain its hi-vis performance through 50 wash cycles, this is a long-life, low-impact garment built for professionals who care about both their safety and their footprint.

Why Choose Bamboo Hi-Vis Workwear?

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing renewable fibres on the planet, requiring no pesticides, minimal water and no replanting after harvest. As a fabric, it offers natural absorbency, softness and breathability – perfect for sensitive skin and long working days.

By choosing a bamboo-blend hi-vis T-shirt, you benefit from:

• Reduced odour build-up, meaning fewer washes and lower energy and water use
• Natural breathability that helps regulate body temperature in warm conditions
• A softer feel against the skin compared to standard 100% polyester hi-vis shirts
• Lower reliance on virgin fossil-fuel-based synthetics, supporting more sustainable supply chains
• A biodegradable natural fibre component, reducing long-term environmental impact

Combined with recycled polyester, this T-shirt delivers the best of both worlds: the comfort and sustainability of bamboo with the strength, colour-fastness and longevity required for certified high-visibility workwear.

Ideal For

Highway maintenance, rail and infrastructure work, construction, groundworks, utilities, surveying, traffic management, warehousing, logistics, airport ground crew, tree surgery and any outdoor role requiring Class 3 high-visibility protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this T-shirt suitable for highway and rail work? Yes. It is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 3, the highest hi-vis category, making it suitable for high-risk environments such as motorways, rail corridors and major construction sites.

Will the hi-vis performance fade with repeated washing? The garment is independently certified to retain its EN ISO 20471 performance for up to 50 wash cycles, giving you reliable visibility throughout the working life of the shirt.

Does the bamboo content really make a difference? Yes. Bamboo fibre adds natural softness, absorbency and breathability, helping you stay cooler and more comfortable during long shifts. It also helps reduce odour, meaning the shirt typically needs fewer washes than a standard polyester hi-vis top.

Is it safe for sensitive skin? The bamboo-rich blend and bamboo neck trim are designed to feel soft and gentle against the skin, making it a comfortable choice for wearers who find traditional hi-vis fabrics irritating.

How does the UPF 40+ rating help? A UPF 40+ rating, certified to EN 13758-2, means the fabric blocks more than 95% of UV radiation – useful protection during outdoor work in direct sunlight.
