FAQs

What is the main material of the sweater?

The sweater is made of 100% polyester, with one side brushed for added comfort and softness.

What safety certifications does this sweater have?

It is certified according to EN ISO 20471, meeting Class 3 standards for sizes M-XXXL and Class 2 for sizes XS-S. Orange colorways also comply with RIS-3279-TOM issue 2.

How should I wash this Hi-Vis sweater?

Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.

Does the sweater have pockets?

Yes, it features two front pockets for convenient storage.

Is this sweater suitable for women?

This particular model is listed as a male size XXXL. Blaklader offers a women's cut reference (3347) for similar high-visibility hooded sweaters.

What does '360° visibility' mean?

It means the reflective tape is placed on the front, top, and back of the sweater, ensuring you are visible from all directions.

What is the warranty on the seams?

Blaklader guarantees the seams for life.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper area is free of debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Reflective tape is peeling or losing reflectivity.

This can occur with excessive wear or improper washing. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid harsh detergents.

Sweater feels less comfortable after washing.

Check that you are not using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fabric's properties and potentially affect the reflective tape. Ensure you are tumble drying on low heat.

Seam is coming undone.

While Blaklader guarantees seams for life, for minor issues, a qualified tailor can repair small seam separations. For significant issues, contact the retailer or manufacturer for warranty information.
