Does this sweater meet any safety certifications?

How should I wash this sweater?

Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a maximum of 110°C without steam. Do not dry clean. Wash with similar colors and avoid fabric softeners.

What sizes are available?

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the sweater features a fixed, adjustable hood to provide a customizable fit and protection.

Are there pockets on the sweater?

Yes, there are two front pockets for convenient storage of small items.

What is the purpose of the reflective trim?

The 50 mm wide reflective tape on the body, sleeves, and shoulders is designed to enhance 360° visibility, making the wearer more conspicuous in low-light or hazardous conditions.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Ensure proper washing and drying procedures are followed, avoiding high heat and harsh detergents. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape.

Zipper not functioning smoothly

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris and fabric. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed. Make sure the zipper is fully closed before washing.

Shrinkage after washing

Follow the recommended washing temperature (max 40°C) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying.

Reduced visibility after multiple washes

Avoid fabric softeners and strong detergents, as they can degrade the reflective material over time. Adhere strictly to care instructions.
