Why the Orange Portwest L044 is the Top Choice for High-Risk Work Zones
- Superior Daytime Visibility Fluorescent orange outperforms yellow in many environments (especially against blue skies and green foliage), making the reason most DOT and MUTCD-compliant projects now specify orange hi-vis.
- True ANSI Class 3 Protection in a Short-Sleeve Shirt With extra reflective tape on both sleeves and torso, the orange L044 provides 360° visibility and meets Class 3 requirements — rare for lightweight short-sleeve designs.
- Ultra-Breathable & Lightweight Summer Fabric
- 5.5 oz moisture-wicking birdseye polyester
- Segmented perforated heat-applied tape increases airflow
- Side vents and generous cut prevent overheating
- UPF 40+ built-in sun protection
- Segmented Tape Advantage The flexible, stretchable reflective segments move with the worker, eliminating cracking and improving comfort during overhead work, bending, or vehicle entry/exit.
Perfect For High-Risk Industries Requiring Orange Hi-Vis
- Highway & road construction crews (MUTCD compliant)
- Flagging & traffic control teams
- Railroad maintenance workers
- Airport ramp & ground support personnel
- Surveying teams in heavy equipment zones
- Emergency response & utility workers in traffic areas
