Product Information

Full details

This Blaklader 3599 Hi-Vis Long-Sleeved T-Shirt is designed for adult workers who need enhanced visibility and comfort in warm outdoor conditions. Its key benefit is the combination of high visibility with advanced moisture-wicking and UV protection, keeping you seen and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while it offers UV protection, it is a base layer and may not be sufficient on its own in extreme sun exposure without additional protective measures.

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the fabric is designed for warmth with moisture-wicking properties and mesh panels for ventilation. However, in extreme heat, consider layering with lighter, breathable materials or ensuring adequate hydration.

What does 'birdseye knit' mean?

Birdseye knit is a type of knit fabric structure that creates a small, repeating pattern resembling a bird's eye. It's often used for its breathability and durability.

How should I care for the reflective tape?

Avoid high heat when washing and drying, and never iron directly on the tape. Low heat ironing on the reverse side is acceptable. Gentle care will preserve its reflective qualities.

What is the difference in reflective tape width by size?

Sizes XS to M have 50 mm wide reflective tape, while sizes L and larger have 60 mm wide reflective tape for increased visibility.

Does this shirt provide full sun protection?

The shirt offers UV protection, but it is rated for specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). For prolonged or intense sun exposure, additional sun protection measures like sunscreen and hats are recommended.

Can this shirt be worn as a base layer?

Yes, its moisture-wicking and comfortable fit make it an excellent base layer for cooler conditions or as standalone workwear in warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Ensure washing and ironing instructions are strictly followed. Avoid excessive heat and direct ironing on the tape. If peeling persists after proper care, contact customer support.

Reduced moisture-wicking performance

Check for fabric softener buildup, which can impede wicking. Wash the garment with a mild detergent without fabric softener. Ensure the mesh panels are not obstructed.

Color fading significantly

Wash inside out with similar colors in cold or warm water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing. Use a detergent free of optical brighteners.
