Bisley BS6896

Bisley BS6896 – Taped Hi Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt

When you’re working hard out in the Aussie heat, the last thing you want is a heavy, sweat-soaked workshirt weighing you down. That’s where the Bisley BS6896 Taped Hi-Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt comes in — it’s built tough for long days on site, but light and breezy enough to keep you cool from first smoko through to knock-off.

Made from 100% cotton preshrunk drill at 155gsm, this shirt is solid enough to take a beating yet stays breathable when things heat up. The back and underarm areas are lined with open cotton mesh ventilation panels (125gsm), which let the air flow right through, helping you stay fresh when you’re putting in the hard yards. Whether you’re on the tools, on the road, or out in the paddock, this shirt keeps you comfortable all day long.

Designed for Aussie Conditions

The BS6896 isn’t just any hi-vis shirt — it’s designed for our climate and our worksites. Bisley’s added vertical cotton mesh back ventilation for that extra airflow down your spine, which makes a massive difference when you’re working under the blazing sun. There’s also underarm mesh venting, so you’re not cooking when you’re moving around.

Safety You Can Rely On

This shirt is fully compliant with **AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 standards, meaning it’s certified for both day and night visibility when you choose the Yellow/Navy, Orange/Navy, or Yellow/Bottle colour combos. These options feature the reflective taped hoop pattern, which wraps around your torso and sleeves to make sure you stand out in low-light or high-traffic areas.

For night-time work, there’s also the Pink/Navy version, which complies with the night-time high-vis standard only. This version also carries a special touch — Bisley donates $3 from every Pink/Navy shirt sold directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), helping fund life-saving breast cancer research across Australia. To top it off, the NBCF logo is embroidered on the right sleeve, so you’re showing your support while staying safe on site.

Built Smart, Worn Easy

Functionality’s key when you’re out on the job, and Bisley knows it. The BS6896 comes with two button-down chest pockets that can take a beating, plus a pen division on the left pocket so you’ve always got your marker or pen handy. The two-piece contrast-coloured structured collar keeps its shape even after plenty of washes, and the full gusset sleeve cuff means you can roll up your sleeves or button them down with ease depending on the job.

Comfort Meets Fit

No matter your build, there’s a fit that’ll work for you. The BS6896 is available in sizes XS to 6XL, and for those who prefer the traditional shape, there’s also the TT32 Traditional Fit range in S to 6XL. Every shirt’s cut with movement in mind, so you won’t feel restricted when you’re lifting, climbing, or reaching.

Colours that Stand Out

Choose from the standout combos that keep you visible and sharp-looking:

Yellow/Navy
Orange/Navy
Yellow/Bottle
Pink/Navy (NBCF charity edition)

These colourways aren’t just for looks — they’re all about safety, durability, and staying seen on site.

It’s tough, light, practical, and purpose-built for our working conditions — the kind of shirt you can wear day in, day out without worrying about comfort or compliance.

So whether you’re on a construction site, in logistics, or doing maintenance in the middle of summer, the Bisley BS6896 Taped Hi-Vis Cool Lightweight Shirt has your back — literally. It keeps you safe, keeps you cool, and with the Pink/Navy edition, it even helps support a good cause.
