Product Information

Full details

This Blaklader 3338 Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is designed for adult males requiring enhanced visibility and comfort in their workwear. Its key benefit is the combination of high-visibility features with moisture-wicking, UV-protective, and anti-odour fabric. A potential caveat is its Class 1 certification, which may not be sufficient for all high-risk environments. The shirt features a comfortable polyester pique fabric, reflective transfers, a rib-knitted collar, and a buttoned neck opening.

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certification mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 1 is a safety standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 1 offers the lowest level of visibility, suitable for situations where background visibility is good and traffic speeds are low.

Is this shirt suitable for all types of work environments?

This shirt is certified to Class 1, which is suitable for lower-risk environments. For higher-risk environments with faster traffic or poor visibility, a higher class certification (e.g., Class 2 or 3) might be required.

How effective is the UV protection?

The shirt provides UPF 40+ protection, meaning it blocks at least 97.5% of UV radiation. This offers significant protection against sun exposure during outdoor work.

Can this polo shirt be worn by women?

While designed with a male fit in mind, some women may find the sizing suitable. However, for a more tailored fit, it is recommended to consult the size chart or consider women's specific hi-vis options.

How do I ensure the anti-odour feature remains effective?

The anti-odour effect is built into the fabric. Regular washing according to care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can reduce the fabric's wicking and anti-odour properties.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric weight is 155 g/m², which is relatively lightweight for a work polo, contributing to its breathability and comfort.

How should I clean the reflective tape?

The reflective tape should be washed gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or excessive heat during washing and drying. It's best to follow the standard washing instructions for the garment.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective tape

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions and avoid excessive heat or harsh detergents that can degrade the tape. Check for any physical damage to the tape.

Unpleasant odors persist

While the fabric has an anti-odour treatment, heavy soiling may require thorough washing. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Shirt feels less breathable over time

The moisture-wicking properties can be affected by fabric softeners or build-up from detergents. Try washing with a small amount of vinegar or a specialized sports wash to clear residues.
