Product Information

Full details

The Blaklader 3346 Hi-Vis Hooded Sweater is designed for outdoor professionals and construction workers who require 360-degree visibility without sacrificing comfort. This polyester hooded sweater features reinforced construction and certified safety standards, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic or low-light work environments; however, the polyester material means it is best suited for layering rather than high-intensity physical exertion where breathability is the primary concern.

FAQs

Is this garment breathable?

As it is made of polyester, it is durable but offers moderate breathability. It is designed for standard work tasks and performs best in mild to cool conditions.

Can I put this in the dryer?

While some tumble drying is possible, air drying is highly recommended to extend the life of the reflective tape.

Does it come in other colors?

The Blaklader 3346 is specifically designed for high-visibility requirements and is typically available in the yellow colorway to meet safety standards.

What does the EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This is an international standard that specifies requirements for high-visibility clothing that is capable of visually signaling the user's presence.

How do I choose the right size?

This model follows standard apparel sizing. If you plan to layer heavily underneath, you may want to consider your standard fit or slightly larger depending on your movement needs.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape looks dull

Wash the garment inside out to reduce abrasion and ensure no fabric softeners are used, as these can leave a residue on the reflective surface.

Zipper feels stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and consider using a dry graphite lubricant if the plastic zipper does not glide smoothly.

Loss of visibility compliance

Inspect the garment for excessive wear or holes. If the reflective tape is peeling or the yellow fabric is heavily soiled, the safety certification may be compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-visibility safety compliance
  • Reinforced durability at stress points
  • Secure fit with ribbed hem and cuffs
  • Convenient pocket placement

  • Limited to high-visibility yellow colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your high-visibility garment, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (usually 40°C) with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to protect the reflective strips from excessive heat damage.
  3. Ironing: Avoid direct heat on the reflective tape as it may melt or lose its retro-reflective properties.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the vibrancy of the yellow fabric.
  5. Compatibility: This sweater fits standard adult sizes (XXL in this instance) and pairs well with standard work trousers and safety vests.
