FAQs

What does Hi-Vis Class 3 mean?

Hi-Vis Class 3 is the highest level of visibility according to EN ISO 20471 standards, indicating the garment has a sufficient amount of fluorescent and reflective material to be seen in most work environments. Note that sizes XS-S in this model are Class 2.

Can this hoodie be worn in hot weather?

While the cotton blend offers some breathability, it is a relatively heavy fabric (340 g/m²). It is designed for comfort and durability, offering UPF 40+ UV protection, but may be warm for very hot conditions. It functions well as a comfortable mid-layer or outer layer in moderate temperatures.

What is the difference between the cotton and polyester components?

The cotton provides a soft, absorbent interior for comfort against the skin, while the polyester exterior offers durability, resistance to stretching, and faster drying times.

Is this hoodie suitable for all types of work?

This hoodie is ideal for work requiring high visibility and durability, such as construction, road work, and logistics. Its suitability for other professions depends on specific workplace safety regulations and environmental conditions.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Mascot. Measure your chest and compare it to the product specifications. The modern fit is designed to be close but comfortable, allowing for movement.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the raw materials and processing comply with REACH and Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, indicating they are safe for health and the environment. The packaging also uses recycled materials.

Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid tumble drying, which can stiffen the fabric. Ironing at a moderate temperature can help restore softness.

Reflective strips appear to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid excessive heat during washing or ironing. Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners. If damage occurs, the reflective properties may be compromised; consider replacement for continued safety.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.
