FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest class, indicating the garment provides the greatest level of visibility, typically required for work involving high-speed traffic or complex machinery.

Is this sweater suitable for cold weather?

The sweater is made of 100% polyester and offers some warmth due to its brushed interior. However, it is primarily designed for visibility and may need to be layered with additional thermal clothing for significant cold.

How do I ensure the orange color meets safety standards?

The orange colorways are compliant with RIS-3279-TOM issue 2, which is a specific standard for high-visibility orange garments, particularly relevant in the UK rail industry.

Can I wear this over other clothing?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layering over base or mid-layers. Ensure the size chosen allows for comfortable movement when worn with other garments.

What is the main material of the sweater?

The main material is 100% polyester with a brushed interior, weighing 240 g/m².

How wide is the reflective tape?

The reflective tape measures 50 mm wide.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape losing reflectivity

Ensure proper washing and drying techniques are followed. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat during care, as these can degrade the reflective material.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down; if it remains stuck, try applying a small amount of graphite pencil lead to the teeth.

Sweater feels too tight or too loose

Refer to the sizing chart and compare measurements before purchase. If the fit is not as expected, consider layering options or exchanging for a different size if possible.
