FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 mean?

This standard indicates the level of visibility provided by the garment. Class 3 is the highest rating, signifying maximum visibility and is generally required for tasks where the highest level of protection is needed, such as working near high-speed traffic.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made of fleece and is designed for warmth and visibility, not waterproofing. It offers protection against cool environments but will not keep you dry in rain.

How do I check if my size meets Class 3 visibility?

The jacket meets Class 3 for most adult sizes. However, sizes XS and S meet EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2. Check the product label for specific details related to your size.

Can I wear this jacket in hot weather?

While it provides UPF 40+ sun protection, the fleece material is primarily intended for cooler conditions. It may be too warm for very hot weather unless used for minimal sun protection with good ventilation.

What is VizLite DT?

VizLite DT refers to a type of reflective material used to enhance visibility, especially in low-light or dark conditions, by reflecting light back towards its source.

How do I clean the ID card loop?

The ID card loop is part of the jacket's fabric. Clean it gently with a damp cloth during routine washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Can this jacket be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the jacket is designed as Unisex, making it suitable for individuals of any gender. Ensure you select the appropriate size for a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears less visible than expected.

Ensure the VizLite DT stripes are clean and free from dirt or debris. Verify the jacket is the correct size as visibility standards can vary by size.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track if necessary. Ensure zippers are closed before washing.

Fleece material pilling or losing softness.

Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat. Using a fabric softener sparingly during washing can help maintain softness.
