FAQs

Is this sweater waterproof?

No, the Blaklader 3346 is made of polyester designed for visibility and warmth, but it does not feature a waterproof membrane.

How do I maintain the high-visibility rating?

Keep the garment clean. Dirt and grease can hide the fluorescent colors and obscure the reflective tape. Follow the specific wash instructions on the garment label.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, it features a fixed, adjustable hood for added protection against wind and light rain.

What does the EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This is an international standard that specifies requirements for high-visibility clothing that is capable of visually signaling the user's presence.

Can I wear this as a primary work jacket?

It serves well as a mid-layer or outer layer in mild conditions, but in extreme weather, it should be paired with a shell jacket.

Does the reflective tape work at night?

Yes, the 50 mm reflective tape is designed to be highly visible when illuminated by direct light sources like headlights.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape looks dull after washing

Wash the garment inside out and ensure no harsh detergents or softeners were used, as these leave residues that block light reflection.

Zipper feels stiff

Check the track for debris or fabric threads. A light application of non-staining wax can help if the track is clear but stiff.

Excessive pilling on the outer surface

Pilling is common with polyester; avoid washing with abrasive fabrics like denim or gear with heavy velcro to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Hi-Vis gear, follow these care instructions carefully. The garment is made from polyester, which is durable but sensitive to extreme heat. Always machine wash inside out to protect the reflective strips from abrasion. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the high-visibility fluorescent properties of the fabric. Because this is a standard fit garment, it is designed to be worn over base layers. If you are layering heavily, consider checking your fit requirements to ensure full range of motion. Hang dry when possible to preserve the shape of the ribbed cuffs and the integrity of the reflective tape.
