FAQs

What is Class 3 High Visibility?

Class 3 is the highest level of visibility according to the EN ISO 20471 standard. It requires a specific amount of background material, retroreflective material, and combined material to ensure the wearer is highly conspicuous in all lighting conditions and against complex backgrounds.

Can I wear this sweatshirt in very cold weather?

While the fleece provides warmth, this sweatshirt is designed as a Class 3 garment, often worn in professional environments. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with additional insulating workwear underneath.

How do I clean this sweatshirt if I don't have access to industrial laundry?

You can machine wash it at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) without bleach and tumble dry on low heat. However, for maximum durability and to maintain its high-visibility certification, industrial laundry according to EN ISO 15797 is recommended.

What does 'segmented reflective tape' mean?

Segmented reflective tape is cut into sections or segments, which allows for greater flexibility and breathability compared to solid tape. It still provides excellent reflectivity while enhancing comfort and garment performance.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for women?

This specific product (MPN: 356425385300-3564, Size: XL) is listed for males. Blaklader may offer unisex or female-specific versions of similar hi-vis garments. Please check product details for gender specifications.

What material is the sweatshirt made of?

The sweatshirt is made from 100% polyester, specifically a pique fleece fabric with a brushed interior for softness. It is 240 g/m² in weight.

Does it have a warranty?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to the point of purchase for details on the warranty applicable to this Blaklader garment.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing and drying instructions are strictly followed. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, especially when ironing. The garment is certified for industrial laundry, so professional cleaning is recommended for best results.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fleece material feels less soft

Ensure fabric softener was not used during washing, as it can degrade synthetic materials and reduce their softness over time. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some of the fleece's loft.

Reflective tape is peeling

This is uncommon if care instructions are followed. Avoid direct ironing on the tape. If peeling occurs, discontinue use of the garment as its reflective properties may be compromised.
