FAQs

What does 'inherent quality' mean for flame resistance?

Inherent flame resistance means the protective properties are built into the fibers themselves and will not wash out or wear away over time, unlike treated fabrics.

What is the meaning of EBT - 13 cal/cm² and ELIM - 12 cal/cm²?

These are measurements of the hoodie's performance in arc flash testing. EBT (Energy Breakopen Threshold) and ELIM (Effective Limiting Incident Energy) indicate the amount of energy the garment can withstand before it breaks open or fails, protecting the wearer.

Can this hoodie be worn as a primary protective layer?

This hoodie is certified for specific flame-resistant and electrostatic discharge protection. For environments with higher risks, it may need to be worn as part of a layering system or a more comprehensive protective suit, depending on the specific hazard assessment.

How should I clean the hoodie to maintain its flame-resistant properties?

Follow the care label instructions: machine wash at 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low, iron at 150°C max, and do not dry clean. Using harsh detergents or bleach can compromise the fabric's properties.

Is the phone pocket waterproof?

The pocket is described as 'concealed' and 'inner', designed for protection during work. It is not rated as waterproof, so avoid exposing your phone to liquids.

What material is the hoodie made from?

The main material is a fleece blend consisting of 60% Modacrylic, 39% cotton, and 1% antistatic fiber, with a weight of 280 g/m².

Can the hood be detached?

The hood is described as 'fixed' and 'adjustable,' indicating it is permanently attached to the hoodie.

Troubleshooting

Hoodie feels stiff after washing.

This is normal for flame-resistant fabrics. The stiffness usually reduces with subsequent wear and washing. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely.

Embroidery is peeling.

Avoid high heat when ironing directly on the embroidery. Iron inside out on a low setting. If peeling continues, discontinue high-heat ironing on the design area.

Fit is not as expected.

Refer to the Blaklader size chart for detailed measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your body measurements. The ergonomic fit is designed for mobility, which might feel different from a standard relaxed fit.
