Product Information

Full details

This Salzmann High-Visibility Safety Vest is designed for children who need enhanced visibility during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is significantly increasing safety by making children easily seen by drivers from up to 180 meters away, thanks to premium 3M reflective material. A potential caveat is that while durable, the vest is intended for safety and visibility enhancement, not as standalone weather protection. The vest is made from durable polyester, features reinforced stitching, a large easy-to-use zip, and meets EN17353 standards for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

FAQs

What age group is this vest suitable for?

This specific vest is sized 7-8 years. Salzmann offers a range of sizes for different age groups within their high-visibility vest collection.

Is this vest waterproof?

No, the vest is made from polyester and is designed for visibility. It is not waterproof or intended as rain gear.

How do I wash the vest?

The vest can be machine washed at a low temperature (around 30°C) with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting, away from the reflective material.

What does EN17353 certification mean?

EN17353 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. This certification indicates that the vest meets specific requirements for ensuring the wearer is visible, and it complies with regulations for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Can children wear this vest over a thick coat?

The vest is designed to fit comfortably over standard clothing. For very thick winter coats, a larger size might be necessary for a proper fit. It's best to check the fit when worn over the typical outerwear your child uses.

How far away can drivers see this vest?

The premium 3M reflective material significantly increases visibility, allowing drivers to see the wearer from up to 180 meters away under appropriate lighting conditions (e.g., headlights).

What other colors are available?

Salzmann offers this high-visibility vest in a range of colors that children enjoy wearing, including pink and green, in addition to orange and yellow.

Troubleshooting

Vest seems too tight or too loose

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., 7-8) based on your child's measurements. The vest should fit comfortably over regular clothing without being restrictive.

Reflective strips are not as bright

Ensure the vest is clean. Dirt or grime can reduce reflectivity. Avoid excessive washing or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the reflective material over time. Check for any damage to the reflective strips.

Zip is difficult to fasten

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zip track. If the zip feels stiff, gently try moving it back and forth. The large zip is designed for ease of use, so any significant difficulty may indicate a fault. Check for any caught threads.
