FAQs

What is the material of the vest?

The vest is made from 100% Polyester, Warp Knit fabric, weighing 124g.

How many pockets does the vest have?

The vest features a total of 7 pockets, including chest pockets, lower patch pockets, and side pockets.

Is this vest suitable for all weather conditions?

The vest is designed for visibility and utility and is suitable for moderate weather. For extreme heat, additional ventilation or lighter garments might be preferred. For very cold conditions, it should be worn as a layer over appropriate insulation.

How long does the high-visibility certification last?

The vest is certified to EN ISO 20471 after 50 washes. It is important to follow the care instructions to maintain this certification.

Can I wear this vest over a thick jacket?

The vest is designed to be worn over standard work clothing. While it may fit over a lighter jacket, wearing it over very bulky items could restrict movement and compromise fit. Consider sizing up if layering over thick garments is a requirement.

What does the dual ID holder offer?

The dual ID holder allows you to display identification cards in both portrait and landscape orientations simultaneously.

Is the vest machine washable?

Yes, the vest is machine washable at 40°C. However, avoid bleach, tumble drying on high heat, and dry cleaning to preserve its features and certification.

Troubleshooting

Vest not visible enough

Ensure the vest is worn correctly over other clothing and that all reflective tapes are clean and undamaged. Check that the vest is certified to the required standard for your work environment.

Pockets feel too small

The vest features multiple pocket sizes. Distribute items among the chest pockets, lower patch pockets, and side pockets. For larger items, consider if this vest is the most suitable garment.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If the zipper is stiff, try gently working it back and forth. Ensure the vest is not over-stuffed, which can strain the zipper.

ID holder won't fit card

The dual ID holder accommodates both portrait and landscape cards. Ensure you are using the correct orientation for your card. If the card is oversized, it may not fit securely.
