Breathability That Actually Works – Bird-Eye Knit Advantage

The secret behind the S198’s legendary comfort is Portwest’s bird-eye mesh polyester fabric. Thousands of tiny holes allow air to circulate directly against the skin while pulling sweat away faster than traditional cotton or standard polyester shirts. Independent tests show the S198 dries up to 4× faster than cotton hi-vis shirts – critical when you’re working outdoors in summer.

ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 2 Compliance Explained

The American National Standard ensures you’re legally protected on roadways and job sites open to traffic:

• Minimum 201 sq. in. of fluorescent yellow background material ✓
• Minimum 155 sq. in. of retroreflective or combined-performance material ✓
• 360° visibility with reflective bands around torso and over each shoulder ✓

Wearing the Portwest S198 means you meet federal MUTCD requirements and most state DOT specifications without layering heavy vests over regular clothes.
