R519X Recycled Dynamic Stretch Safety Shorts – Result Safeguard | Class 1 Hi-Vis Work Shorts

Premium Recycled Hi-Vis Shorts for Comfortable Summer Working

The Result Safeguard R519X Recycled Dynamic Stretch Safety Shorts are designed for businesses that want more from their summer hi-vis workwear than a basic pair of safety shorts.

Combining 50% recycled polyester twill with 50% Elastomultiester polyester, the R519X delivers a soft-feel, wrinkle-resistant stretch fabric that moves comfortably with the wearer while helping manage moisture and resist everyday wear.

The modern slim fit, seven practical pockets, triple-stitched critical seams and elasticated waistband make these shorts particularly well suited to active workers who need to stay comfortable and organised throughout the working day.

The R519X is EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certified, with the fluorescent orange version also meeting RIS-3279-TOM Class 1 requirements.

For businesses looking to provide a more modern, sustainable and comfortable summer uniform, the R519X is a significant step up from a basic hi-vis short.

Why Choose the R519X Recycled Dynamic Stretch Safety Shorts?

A More Modern Approach to Hi-Vis Workwear

The R519X is designed for businesses that don't want their summer workwear to look or feel like an afterthought.

Its slim silhouette and clean styling give workers a more contemporary appearance, while the fluorescent fabric and printed safety bands provide the required Class 1 visibility.

This makes it particularly useful where employees are customer-facing as well as working on site.

Recycled Fabric Without Sacrificing Performance

The fabric combines 50% recycled polyester twill with 50% Elastomultiester polyester.

Rather than relying on traditional elastane for stretch, Elastomultiester fibres provide flexibility while offering moisture-wicking properties and increased resistance to damage. Result describes this as a more sustainable alternative to traditional elastane, with the potential to contribute to longer garment life and reduced textile waste.

For businesses with sustainability considerations in their workwear procurement, that gives the R519X a genuine story beyond simply calling a garment "eco-friendly".

Stretch That Works With the Wearer

The soft-feel, wrinkle-resistant fabric is designed to stretch with movement and then spring back into shape.

That makes a noticeable difference for workers who are constantly bending, walking, climbing or getting in and out of vehicles throughout the day.

Seven Practical Pockets

Good work shorts need useful storage, and the R519X delivers.

Seven pockets provide space for everyday tools and essentials, including expandable rear pockets with hi-vis detailing, while the hammer loop and belt loops add further practical functionality.

The result is a short that can genuinely function as workwear rather than simply looking like safety clothing.

Built for Regular Workwear Use

The R519X has triple-stitched critical seams, helping reinforce areas exposed to greater stress during everyday work.

Combined with the fabric's resistance to damage, this makes it a strong choice for businesses looking for a summer garment that can withstand regular use rather than needing to be treated as disposable seasonal workwear.

Comfortable Waist Design

The side-elasticated waistband and higher back provide additional comfort and security while working.

The combination of stretch fabric and an elasticated waistband helps the shorts move with the wearer rather than restricting movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the R519X Safety Shorts Class 1 or Class 2?

The R519X is EN ISO 20471 Class 1.

The fluorescent orange version also meets RIS-3279-TOM Issue 2:2019 Class 1.

Some third-party listings currently describe the R519X as Class 2, but Result's current product information identifies it as Class 1, so Class 1 is the specification we recommend using.

Are the orange R519X shorts suitable for railway work?

The fluorescent orange version meets RIS-3279-TOM Class 1, making it suitable where that level of rail-compliant visibility is appropriate.

As always, the required level of visibility should be determined by the specific site requirements and risk assessment.

What makes the R519X different from standard hi-vis shorts?

The main difference is the combination of recycled stretch fabric, modern slim fit, moisture-wicking properties, enhanced durability and practical storage.

It is designed as a more premium alternative to a basic hi-vis short.

Are the R519X shorts made from recycled material?

Yes. The fabric contains 50% recycled polyester twill, with the remaining 50% being Elastomultiester polyester.

Does the R519X contain elastane?

No. The R519X is elastane-free.

Its stretch properties come from Elastomultiester polyester fibres rather than traditional elastane.

Do the shorts wick moisture?

Yes. The Elastomultiester fibre construction provides moisture-wicking properties designed to help improve comfort during active work, particularly in warmer conditions.

How many pockets do the R519X shorts have?

There are seven pockets, including expandable rear pockets with hi-vis detailing.

The shorts also feature a dedicated hammer loop and belt loops for additional workwear functionality.

Are the R519X shorts slim fit?

Yes. They have a modern slim fit rather than the more generous cut commonly found on traditional work shorts.

This makes them particularly attractive for businesses looking for a cleaner, more contemporary team appearance.

Are the R519X shorts suitable for hot weather?

Yes. They are specifically designed for all-day summer wear, combining a shorter leg with stretch, moisture-wicking properties and a comfortable waistband.

They are particularly useful when full-length safety trousers would be unnecessarily warm.

Can the R519X be embroidered with our company logo?

Yes. The R519X can be professionally branded using embroidery, transfer print, direct print or DTF, subject to the suitability of the chosen decoration position.

What sizes are available?

The R519X is available from S to 4XL, corresponding to approximately 32"–44" waist.

Is the R519X better than the R328X Safety Cargo Shorts?

They serve a similar summer hi-vis role, but the R519X is the more premium and modern option.

The R328X is the straightforward, practical Safeguard cargo short, while the R519X adds recycled fabric, stretch, moisture-wicking properties, a slim fit and a more contemporary appearance.

For businesses wanting a more polished branded uniform, I would favour the R519X.
