FAQs

What does Hi-Vis Group A certified mean?

Hi-Vis Group A certification (EN ISO 20471) indicates that the garment meets specific standards for visibility. Class 3 offers the highest level of visibility, suitable for situations requiring maximum conspicuity.

What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 certification?

Class 3 is the highest visibility standard under EN ISO 20471, requiring a larger area of fluorescent and retro-reflective material. Class 2 offers a lower level of visibility, typically suitable for less hazardous situations. The Accelerate Safe Hoodie is Class 3 for sizes M-5XL and Class 2 for sizes XS-S.

Can I put a custom logo on this hoodie?

Yes, logo placement is possible on the front or back. However, to maintain the EN ISO 20471 certification, the logo area cannot exceed 50% of the total approved logo area, and the maximum logo area is limited (0.2400 m² for XS-S, 0.0300 m² for M-5XL).

What is UPF 40+?

UPF 40+ refers to the Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How does the material blend affect comfort?

The 50% cotton interior provides a soft feel and moisture absorption, while the 50% polyester exterior adds durability and stretch. The brushed inside enhances warmth and softness.

Is this hoodie suitable for cold weather?

The hoodie offers warmth due to its brushed interior and substantial fabric weight (340 g/m²). It is suitable for moderate cold, but may require layering for very low temperatures.

What are the washing instructions to maintain the reflective properties?

Wash at 40°C, do not bleach, and do not tumble dry. Avoid using harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade the reflective material over time.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective strips

Ensure the strips are clean and free from dirt or debris. Follow washing instructions carefully to avoid premature degradation.

Garment feels too tight or restrictive

Check the size chart against your measurements. Consider if the slim fit is appropriate for your needs. For more room, explore 'Regular' fit variants if available.

Fabric pilling after washing

This can occur with cotton blends. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying. Gentle cycles and air drying can help minimize this.

Color fading

Wash inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight exposure during drying.
