Hard Yakka:Y08420 Womens Foundations Biomotion Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Shirt with Tape

Built for women who put in the hard yards, the Hard Yakka Y08420 Women’s Foundations Biomotion Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Shirt is a dependable worksite staple that delivers comfort, visibility and durability in equal measure. Designed with a women’s-specific fit and packed with practical features, this shirt is made to handle long days, tough conditions and everything in between—without cutting corners on safety or wearability.

Crafted from lightweight 145gsm cotton twill, this shirt is made from 100% cotton, making it breathable, soft on the skin and ideal for active work environments. Cotton twill allows heat to escape naturally, helping you stay cooler when the pace picks up or temperatures rise. At the same time, it’s durable enough to stand up to daily wear, frequent washing and the general punishment that comes with life on site.

Visibility is a standout feature, with ReflecTec 50mm retroreflective tape applied in a Vic Rail–approved Biomotion configuration with hoop patterning. This tape placement is designed to highlight the natural movement of the body, making it easier for others to recognise a human form in low-light or night-time conditions. Whether you’re working around traffic, rail infrastructure, warehouses or large industrial sites, the Biomotion layout improves visibility from all angles and adds an extra layer of on-the-job safety.

Hard Yakka hasn’t overlooked the practical details. The shirt features twin chest pockets with flap and button closures, giving you secure storage for everyday essentials such as pens, phones, notebooks or small tools. The buttoned flaps help prevent items from falling out while you’re bending, climbing or moving around, keeping everything close at hand and protected.

When it comes to comfort, ventilation is key—and this shirt delivers. A vented back yoke with mesh paneling allows heat to escape from the upper back, one of the areas where sweat tends to build up first. Underarm mesh gussets further enhance airflow and flexibility, reducing restriction when lifting, reaching or working overhead. Together, these features promote better temperature regulation and help you stay fresher for longer throughout the day.

The double-fold front placket with button closure adds strength and structure where it’s needed most. This construction helps the shirt maintain its shape over time while providing extra durability through the front opening—an area that sees constant use. The button closure is practical and easy to manage, even when wearing gloves, making it well suited to real-world work conditions.

A shaped hem provides improved coverage and a more flattering, functional fit. Designed to sit comfortably whether worn tucked in or loose, the shaped hem helps prevent the shirt from riding up during movement, keeping you covered and comfortable while you work. The women’s-specific cut ensures a better fit through the shoulders, chest and waist, eliminating the bulky, boxy feel often found in unisex workwear.

Long sleeves offer added protection from the elements, including sun exposure, dust and minor abrasions, making this shirt suitable for outdoor worksites and variable weather conditions. It’s a versatile option that works just as well on cooler mornings as it does during warmer afternoons, especially when combined with breathable cotton fabric and mesh ventilation zones.

From construction and rail to logistics, utilities and outdoor trades, the Hard Yakka Y08420 Women’s Foundations Biomotion Hi-Vis Long Sleeve Shirt is designed to support safety, comfort and performance on the job. Tough, breathable and thoughtfully engineered for women, it’s a reliable piece of workwear you can count on day after day. When visibility matters and comfort can’t be compromised, this shirt gets the job done—no fuss, no shortcuts, just classic Hard Yakka durability.
