Bisley BS6166XT_BVOR – X Taped Biomotion Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Drill Rail Shirt (Orange)

When you’re working long hours on the rail or in any high-risk, high-heat environment, you need a shirt that works as hard as you do. The Bisley BS6166XT_BVOR X Taped Biomotion Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Drill Rail Shirt in Rail Orange is built specifically for the Aussie worker who demands comfort, safety, and breathability without compromising durability. Designed to handle the tough rail and construction industries, this shirt keeps you cool, compliant, and visible in all the right ways.

Crafted from 100% Cotton Open Mesh Drill at 125gsm, it’s a lightweight yet tough work shirt that lets your skin breathe even when the sun’s beating down. The vertical cotton mesh back ventilation and underarm mesh panels allow hot air to escape while keeping you cool and dry throughout the day. It’s the kind of shirt you’ll appreciate during those long shifts under the harsh Aussie sun — light on your back, tough on the job.

The standout feature of this rail-approved shirt is its perforated reflective taped X back design combined with biomotion taping on the sleeves and extra back hem tape. This setup doesn’t just meet Australian rail safety standards — it exceeds them. The reflective biomotion tape enhances your visibility in low-light or night-time conditions, helping others easily identify your movements. It’s an essential safety feature for anyone working near moving machinery or on busy rail corridors.

Bisley has made sure this shirt doesn’t just tick boxes but goes above and beyond. The two-piece structured collar keeps the look sharp and professional, even after a long day on-site. You’ll also find two button-down chest pockets, perfect for storing your essentials, and a pen division on the left chest pocket for quick access when you need to jot down notes or fill in logs. The two-button adjustable sleeve cuffs give you flexibility whether you’re rolling up your sleeves or keeping them buttoned for protection.

Comfort and hygiene haven’t been overlooked either. This work shirt is treated with Bisley’s exclusive Fresche® antimicrobial technology, which provides long-lasting protection against bacteria, mould, and viruses. That means your shirt stays fresher for longer, even when you’re putting in the hard yards in hot and sweaty conditions. It’s a game changer for those who work extended hours outdoors or in remote areas where frequent washing isn’t always possible.

The curved hem design offers a comfortable fit that stays tucked in when needed or looks neat when worn out. The traditional fit gives you room to move — ideal for climbing, bending, or stretching without restriction. Whether you’re welding, inspecting tracks, or managing worksites, this shirt delivers the kind of freedom and reliability that Aussie tradies expect.

Available in sizes XS to 6XL, the BS6166XT_BVOR caters to every worker, from apprentices to senior supervisors. Its signature Rail Orange colour meets strict rail industry requirements for visibility, ensuring you’re compliant with AS 7471:2019 Australian Rail PPE Minimum Requirements, along with other key safety standards.

Speaking of compliance — this shirt meets a comprehensive range of Australian and International Standards, including:

• AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 (Hi Visibility Materials for Safety Garments)

• AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 (Hi Visibility Safety Garments for High Risk Applications)
