These lightweight hi-vis shorts are made for hot days when you still need to be seen. The knee-length cut and contrasting trims give a modern look, while the 190g polycotton keeps them light enough for summer work.
A stain-resistant finish helps the shorts stay presentable through grubby jobs, and 10 pockets give you plenty of room for tools, a phone and everyday essentials.
