FAQs

What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 Hi-Vis certification?

Class 3 offers the highest level of visibility, requiring more fluorescent material and reflective tape. Sizes XS-S of this hoodie are certified to Class 2, while sizes M-5XL are certified to Class 3. Always choose the appropriate class for your specific work environment requirements.

How do I ensure the hoodie maintains its reflective properties?

Clean the hoodie according to the care instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the reflective strips. Regular washing following guidelines is best.

Can I customize this hoodie with my company logo?

Yes, custom logos can be applied. However, it is crucial to ensure that the logo does not exceed 50% of the total approved logo area to maintain the EN ISO 20471 certification for safety.

What does UPF 40+ mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 40+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, providing excellent sun protection.

Is this hoodie waterproof?

No, this hoodie is not waterproof. It is designed primarily for visibility and comfort, with a fabric blend that offers some resistance to wind and light moisture but is not intended for heavy rain protection.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart, paying close attention to chest measurements. The 'modern fit' is designed to be closer to the body, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up.

What are the environmental certifications?

The product is covered by REACH and is Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified, ensuring it is free from harmful substances.

Troubleshooting

Reduced Visibility

Ensure the reflective strips and Hi-Vis fabric are clean. Avoid excessive abrasion or damage to these areas. Check if the size meets the required Hi-Vis class (e.g., XS-S is Class 2).

Discomfort or Irritation

Verify correct sizing. Ensure the neck seam padding is properly positioned. Follow washing instructions to maintain fabric softness.

Zipper Malfunction

Gently try to realign the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper. If the issue persists, check for fabric caught in the zipper track.

Fabric Pilling or Wear

Adhere to recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid washing with abrasive materials. The polyester blend offers durability, but excessive harsh treatment can accelerate wear.
