FAQs
What does Hi-Vis certification mean for this garment?
Hi-Vis certification (EN ISO 20471:2013) means the garment meets strict standards for visibility, using fluorescent colors and reflective materials to make the wearer more conspicuous in hazardous environments. Class 2 applies to sizes XS, and Class 3 applies to sizes S and above.
Is this garment suitable for all-weather conditions?
The Addvis Longsleeve is designed for visibility and comfort in moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it is intended to be worn as a base or mid-layer with additional insulating garments.
How does the 4-way stretch fabric benefit me?
The 4-way stretch fabric allows the garment to move with you in all directions, providing superior freedom of movement and preventing restriction during physical tasks.
Can I wear this for sports or casual wear?
While comfortable, this garment is specifically designed and certified for work environments requiring high visibility. Its primary function is safety in professional settings.
How do I ensure the Hi-Vis properties last?
Follow the care instructions precisely: wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the reflective and fluorescent properties.
What is the main material of the Addvis Longsleeve?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester with a weight of 143 g/m².
What sizes are available for this product?
This product is available in a range of adult sizes, including XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL.
Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility after washing
Ensure washing instructions (40°C, no bleach, low heat tumble dry) were strictly followed. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive washing.
Fabric feels stiff or less comfortable
Check if fabric softener was used, as this can affect Hi-Vis properties. Rerun a rinse cycle if softener was accidentally used. Ensure the garment was not ironed.
Seams feel uncomfortable
Verify the correct size has been selected. The regular fit is designed for comfort, but a size too small could cause seam discomfort during movement.
