Description
Portwest RT20 Rail Spec Anti-Tangle Hi Vis Vest
The Portwest RT20 Rail Spec Hi Vis Vest is a specialist long-length visibility garment designed for rail contractors and trackside teams who need a lightweight vest with additional anti-tangle safety features.
Unlike a standard rail waistcoat, the RT20 incorporates a 4-point breakaway system at the shoulders and side seams, allowing the garment to release if it becomes caught. A front zip and half-elasticated waist provide a secure, comfortable fit while retaining the lightweight feel of a hi vis vest. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Custom Printed Rail Hi Vis Vests
The Portwest RT20 can be personalised with your company logo, contractor name or role identification where suitable branding areas are available.
Upload your artwork when ordering and use our online personalisation system to choose your branding position and preview your customised garment before adding it to your basket.
Branding should be positioned carefully so that logos or text do not unnecessarily cover fluorescent material, reflective tape or interfere with the breakaway features of the garment.
