100% polyester Bird-Eye weighing just 140 g/m²: 20 grams less than the classic 172 polo and yet one level of protection higher. Because it also has reflective tapes on the sleeves, it reaches EN ISO 20471 class 2 despite being short-sleeved.

🧺 Care
Machine wash; 100% polyester hardly shrinks and withstands repeated cycles.
No chlorine bleach: it dulls the fluorescent background.
Do not iron over the reflective tapes.
Use little fabric softener, so as not to coat the retroreflective material.
Withdraw the garment when the fluorescent colour looks dull or the tape is cracked.
💡 Tip: if you are torn between this 305510 and the classic 172 polo, the key difference is not the fabric weight but the class: the 172 is class 1 and this one is class 2. It is just as easy to wash and weighs less, so for teams that must meet class 2 this is the reference to choose. And note: class 2 is still not enough for roads open to traffic or night work, where class 3 is required.
