Mens Rugged Cooling
Hi Vis Segmented Tape L/S Shirt
ZW229 by Syzmik Workwear

Hot worksites are hard enough without your shirt working against you. The Syzmik ZW229 Rugged Cooling Hi Vis Shirt was designed specifically for workers who spend long days outdoors and need visibility, durability and airflow in equal measure. Combining lightweight ripstop cotton, segmented reflective tape and strategically placed ventilation panels, it helps keep you cooler while maintaining the visibility standards required on busy worksites.

Made from lightweight 145 GSM square weave cotton ripstop, the ZW229 delivers excellent durability without the heavy feel of traditional work shirts. Ripstop construction helps resist tears and damage from everyday site wear, while mechanical stretch provides greater freedom of movement when bending, lifting and working overhead.

The standout feature is Syzmik’s rugged cooling design. Underarm, upper-back and side-seam mesh venting zones promote airflow through key heat build-up areas, helping reduce discomfort during long shifts in hot conditions. Segmented reflective tape further improves breathability and flexibility compared to traditional continuous reflective tape designs.

For construction crews, civil contractors, warehouse teams and outdoor workers, the ZW229 strikes an excellent balance between compliance, comfort and durability. It is built to handle demanding conditions without feeling like you’re wearing a canvas tent by mid-afternoon.
