Warm-Weather Moisture Control

The Climb-Max fabric draws perspiration away from the skin, allowing moisture to evaporate more efficiently. This helps reduce discomfort during strenuous work in warm conditions.

A long front zip allows additional airflow without requiring the entire top to be removed.

Practical Workwear Design

The polo collar provides extra coverage around the back of the neck, while the extended tail helps protect the lower back when bending, climbing or operating equipment.

A zipped chest pocket keeps small essentials secure and accessible throughout the working day.

Daylight Visibility

This garment is approved to New Zealand Forestry Owners Association Class FID requirements and is classified as a Class D daylight garment.

It is intended for daylight use only. Dawn, dusk and darkness are not considered daylight conditions, and the top should not be relied upon for night-time visibility.

The approval relates to New Zealand forestry requirements and does not automatically confirm compliance with UK or European workplace standards. Always check the relevant employer, site and local PPE requirements.

Sun Protection

The fabric provides UPF 50+ protection across covered areas. As this is a short-sleeved top, the lower arms remain exposed.

Sunscreen or additional protective clothing should be used on exposed skin. A long-sleeved garment may be required where workplace rules specify full arm coverage.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash warm and separately

• Rinse thoroughly

• Do not use bleach

• Do not use fabric softener

• Line dry or tumble dry warm

• Keep away from direct heat

• Follow the instructions on the garment label
