Product Information

Full details

This Mascot Accelerate Safe Hoodie with Zipper is designed for adults seeking high visibility and comfort in their workwear. Its key benefit is the combination of durable, comfortable materials with safety features like reflective strips and Hi-Vis certification. A potential caveat for some users might be the modern, close-fit, which may require sizing up for a looser feel. Key features include a two-toned design, zippered front pockets for secure storage, and a blend of cotton and polyester for both softness and resilience. It's certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 (XS-S Class 2) and UPF 40+.

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification mean?

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest class, indicating the garment offers the maximum level of visibility and is suitable for situations where the highest level of protection is required, such as working near high-speed roads.

Can this hoodie be customized with a company logo?

Yes, logo areas are available, but there are restrictions on their size and placement to ensure the garment maintains its safety certifications. Please consult specific guidelines regarding logo application.

What is the benefit of the 50% cotton / 50% polyester blend?

This blend combines the breathability and softness of cotton with the durability, wrinkle resistance, and shape retention of polyester. The cotton provides comfort against the skin, while the polyester ensures the hoodie withstands regular wear and washing.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Mascot. Measure your chest and compare it to the chart. The 'modern fit' is designed to be closer to the body, so consider sizing up if you prefer a looser feel.

Is this hoodie warm enough for cold weather?

The hoodie is made with a 340 g/m² fabric weight and has a brushed inside, providing good insulation and warmth. It is suitable for layering in colder conditions or for use as outerwear in milder temperatures.

What does UPF 40+ mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of UPF 40+ means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of harmful UV radiation, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

What materials are used in the packaging?

The packaging for this product is made from or contains recycled materials, aligning with environmental sustainability practices.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions (40°C, no bleach, no tumble dry) are strictly followed. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can degrade the reflective material.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's caught on fabric, carefully free the material. You can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Ensure the garment is not overstretched around the zipper area.

Shrinkage or loss of fit

Verify that the hoodie was not washed at a temperature higher than 40°C or tumble-dried. Air dry the garment to maintain its original shape and size.

Discomfort due to neck seam irritation

This hoodie features an internal neck yoke and padding over the neck seam to prevent irritation. Ensure the garment is worn correctly and that no external debris is caught in the seam area.
