DNC 3813 – Two Tone Cool Breathe Polo Shirt, Long Sleeve

DNC 3813 – Two Tone Cool Breathe Polo Shirt, Long Sleeve

When you’re out on the job under the hot Aussie sun, comfort and visibility are non-negotiable. The DNC 3813 Two Tone Cool-Breathe Polo Shirt (Long Sleeve) has been purpose-built for hard-working tradies, road crews, warehouse workers, and site supervisors who demand reliable workwear that keeps them cool, compliant, and comfortable all day long. Designed to handle the heat and the hustle of Australia’s toughest conditions, this long sleeve polo is all about breathability, function, and safety.

Made from 175gsm 100% polyester micromesh, this lightweight fabric delivers maximum airflow and moisture control — helping you stay fresh and dry even during long, hot days on the job. The Cool-Breathe micromesh technology wicks away sweat and allows air to circulate freely through the fabric, preventing that sticky, uncomfortable feeling that can slow you down. Despite being lightweight, the material is tough enough to handle the rigours of daily work while keeping its shape wash after wash.

This Hi Vis two-tone design ensures you’re easily seen on-site, meeting Australian safety requirements for high-visibility day wear under AS/NZS 4602.1:2011. The full fluoro back panel provides complete rear visibility — a key safety feature that helps you stand out when working near vehicles, heavy machinery, or low-light environments. The contrast colour panels on the front, sleeves, and lower body are not just stylish; they also help hide dirt and grime, so you’ll look sharp even after a hard day’s graft.

The long sleeve design adds extra protection from the sun’s harsh rays while helping to prevent cuts and abrasions when handling materials or working outdoors. It’s an ideal year-round option for tradies who need that extra coverage without sacrificing breathability. The fabric also boasts UPF 50+ sun protection, keeping you safe from harmful UV rays — an essential feature for Australian worksites.

Functionality is front and centre with the DNC 3813. It includes a handy chest pocket with a pencil partition, perfect for keeping pens, markers, or small tools within easy reach. The ribbed collar and sleeve cuffs give the shirt a polished, professional finish while maintaining flexibility and comfort throughout your shift. The reinforced seams add durability, ensuring it can handle the everyday wear and tear of demanding worksites.

Available in an inclusive size range from XS to 5XL and 7XL, this polo is designed for every worker. The relaxed fit allows plenty of movement, making it perfect for a variety of jobs — from construction and logistics to transport, manufacturing, and council work. The long sleeves provide extra versatility, offering a bit more warmth on cooler mornings while still being breathable enough for the midday heat.

The DNC 3813 also comes in a variety of practical colour combinations designed for maximum visibility and site compliance:

Orange/Navy – the classic high-contrast combo trusted by construction and road crews across the country.

Yellow/Navy – the all-rounder, great for warehouse, logistics, and general trade use.

Yellow/Black – a bold, modern option that hides dirt while staying compliant.

Yellow/Bottle Green – popular in landscaping, parks, and maintenance jobs for a more natural look.

Each colourway features a fluoro back for full visibility and safety, ensuring workers remain compliant and visible from every angle.

It’s worth noting that, like all polyester micromesh garments, this polo isn’t ideal for heavy-duty multi-position screen printing due to the nature of the fabric. Excessive heat or repeated high-temperature drying can cause minor deformation, so for best results, it’s recommended to use embroidery or low-heat transfer methods if adding logos or branding.

The DNC 3813 isn’t just about safety and compliance — it’s about all-day comfort. Whether you’re lifting, driving, or managing the tools, this shirt allows freedom of movement without sticking or clinging to your body. The lightweight construction means you’ll barely notice you’re wearing long sleeves, making it a fantastic option for those who work under the sun but still want breathable protection.

With easy-care, quick-dry fabric, the DNC 3813 is built for practicality. You can wash it, hang it, and it’s ready to go again the next day — no ironing required. The fabric also resists fading, so those bright fluoro colours stay visible even after months of use.
