Bisley womens short sleeve polo

Bisley builds the BKL1202 around a lightweight cotton/polyester blend at 160gsm. That weight is light enough to stay comfortable through a warm shift, with enough substance to feel like a proper work garment rather than a casual tee.

A couple of details set it apart from a plain polo. The neckline is a button-free V, so there are no buttons to fuss with or snag, and the collar is a knit ribbed style that holds its shape. The hemline is curved with a longer back, which is the kind of cut that stays tucked when you bend and reach. Bisley also runs its Fresche antimicrobial treatment through this polo to help guard against bacteria, mould and viruses.

If you are weighing it up against the rest of the women's polo range, you can view the full listing on Done Right Safety for the current colour and size options.

Choosing the right weight and cut

Bisley lists this polo at 160gsm, a lighter and breathable weight that suits warmer work on Australian sites or anyone who runs hot through the day. If your crew needs a heavier, more rugged knit you may want a denser fabric, but for general site and workshop wear this weight is comfortable and practical. The button-free V neckline and knit ribbed collar give it a clean look without the maintenance of buttons.

Getting the fit right

The cut is a women's fit, so work from your own measurements instead of a unisex chart. The curved hemline with a longer back is designed to stay put when you lean and reach, so a true-to-size fit usually works better than going up a size for length. If you are kitting out a crew, order a sample in one or two sizes first and check the body length and shoulder fit on the people who will actually wear it.

Care and longevity

A cotton/polyester blend is generally easy to launder and holds colour well, which suits a garment that gets worn and washed often. Follow the care label on the garment for wash temperature and drying. The Fresche antimicrobial treatment is built into the polo to help manage bacteria, mould and viruses; if you need detail on how that treatment performs over repeated washing, check the product page or ask Done Right Safety.

All four options here are women's work polos, so you can compare them directly on fabric, weight and the small features that change how they wear.

The BKL1202 is the all-rounder. It is a comfortable cotton/polyester blend at a moderate 160gsm with the Fresche antimicrobial treatment, which is its standout point of difference from the others. If you specifically need visibility, the Cool Mesh polo (BKL1425) is the one with reflective piping and listed Australian and international standards, so it leans toward hi-vis programs rather than a plain polo.

For the hottest conditions, the King Gee Spliced polo (K44740) brings a Hyperfreeze cooling finish, and the Biz Collection Dart polo (P419LS) carries a UPF 50+ sun rating with a stretchier honeycomb knit. Choose on what matters most for your site: hygiene treatment and everyday comfort with the Bisley, visibility with the Cool Mesh, cooling with the King Gee, or sun protection with the Biz Collection.

The listing confirms a straightforward specification: a women's work polo in a lightweight, breathable cotton/polyester blend at 160gsm, with a knit ribbed collar, a button-free V neckline, a curved hemline with a longer back, and utility-inspired pockets. The Fresche antimicrobial treatment is a genuine point of difference: it is built in by Bisley to help guard against bacteria, mould and viruses, and not every polo in this range carries it.

For a buyer, the appeal is comfort and low fuss. A 160gsm blend is easy to wear and easy to launder, and the cut is designed to stay tidy on the job. It reads as a solid everyday polo for Australian workshops and light industrial work rather than a specialist hi-vis or sun-protection garment.

A few things are worth confirming directly on the product page. The source listing does not specify any safety standard or rating for this polo, so if your workplace requires hi-vis compliance or a UPF rating, verify that on the datasheet before you commit. Colour options, the full size range and the exact care instructions are also best checked on the listing or by asking Done Right Safety.
