Can I wear this in hot weather?
While made of polyester, the fabric is designed for workwear and might be warm. It is a long-sleeve garment intended for safety and visibility, so consider layering or alternative options for extreme heat.
How do I ensure the reflective strips remain effective?
Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, and high heat when washing or drying. Follow the specific care instructions provided to maintain the integrity of the reflective elements.

Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding temperature and detergents. Avoid fabric softeners which can affect the reflective properties.
Fabric feels stiff
Check if fabric softener was used. If so, try re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar in the rinse cycle (do not mix vinegar with bleach). Ensure the garment is not over-dried.
Seams are uncomfortable
The garment is designed with a focus on comfort. If seams are bothersome, ensure the size is correct and not too tight, which can accentuate seam placement.
