Is this sweater designed for men or women?
This sweater is specifically designed with a women's fit.
How wide are the reflective tapes?
The reflective tape is 50 mm wide.
Can I machine wash this sweater?
Yes, it is generally machine washable. However, always refer to the care label for specific instructions to preserve the high-visibility features.
What is the main advantage of the Hi-vis panels?
The Hi-vis panels, along with reflective tape, significantly increase the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions and hazardous environments.
Does the sweater have a hood?
No, this model features a high collar with a zipper, not a hood.
What does 'extended back' mean?
The extended back refers to a longer hemline at the rear of the sweater, providing extra coverage and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape losing reflectivity
Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, avoiding harsh detergents, high heat, or excessive agitation. Air drying is often best for preserving reflective elements.
Sweater feels too tight or too loose
Consult the Blaklader sizing chart for women's apparel. The women's fit may differ from standard sizing; consider ordering a size up or down based on personal preference and the chart.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This sweater requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Compatibility is primarily with standard work attire. For care, it is recommended to follow the specific washing instructions to maintain the integrity of the reflective tape and Hi-vis properties. Generally, machine wash with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high-temperature drying, as this can degrade the materials and reflective elements. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry for best results.
