Product Information

Full details

This Blaklader 3564 Hi-Vis Half-Zip Sweatshirt is designed for adult males requiring enhanced visibility in demanding work environments. Its key benefit is the combination of Class 3 high-visibility and a soft, comfortable fleece material. A potential consideration is its specific certification, which is most relevant for industrial laundry settings. This sweatshirt features segmented reflective tape, a high collar with a half-zip, a chest pocket with a D-ring, and is industrially washable.

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 due to the amount and placement of fluorescent and retroreflective materials.

Can this sweatshirt be washed at home?

While it is certified for industrial laundry (EN ISO 15797), home washing according to the specified care instructions should also be effective. However, industrial washing is recommended for optimal longevity and performance, especially for professional use.

What is the material of the sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt is made from 100% polyester, specifically a piqué fleece that is brushed on one side, weighing 240 g/m².

Does the chest pocket have a zipper?

Yes, the chest pocket features a zipper for secure closure, and also includes a D-ring.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for all weather conditions?

It is designed to provide warmth and high visibility. While suitable for cool to cold weather, it may be too warm for very hot conditions. It is not waterproof.

How wide are the reflective stripes?

The segmented reflective tape on the body, sleeves, and shoulders is 50 mm wide.

What is the primary benefit of the half-zip design?

The half-zip, combined with the high collar, allows for easy adjustment of ventilation and can be zipped up to protect the neck from wind and cold.

Troubleshooting

Sweatshirt not visible enough

Ensure reflective tape is clean and not obscured by dirt or other garments. Verify the garment is Class 3 certified for maximum visibility.

Fleece material pilling after washing

Follow industrial laundry guidelines precisely. Avoid high heat drying and excessive agitation. Consider using a garment bag for washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Cease washing or ironing processes that may have caused damage. Contact customer support if the garment is under warranty.
