Product Information
Full details
This Blaklader 3338 Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and comfort. Its key benefit is the combination of safety features like 50mm reflective tape and UV protection, with performance fabric that wicks moisture and prevents odors. A minor caveat is that it is certified to Class 1, which might not be sufficient for all high-risk environments.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471 class 1 mean?
EN ISO 20471 class 1 specifies the minimum requirements for high-visibility clothing. Class 1 offers the lowest level of visibility and is generally suitable for work where traffic speeds are low and there is low risk, or when worn in conjunction with higher-class garments.
How effective is the UV protection?
The shirt is certified according to EN 13758-2 UPF 40+, meaning it blocks at least 97.5% of UV radiation. This provides substantial protection against sun exposure during outdoor activities.
Can I wear this shirt in very hot weather?
The fabric is designed to be moisture-wicking and breathable, making it suitable for warm conditions. However, 100% polyester might not feel as cool as natural fibers for some individuals in extreme heat.
How do I ensure the anti-odor treatment remains effective?
Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its moisture-wicking and anti-odor capabilities. Wash the garment promptly after use to prevent prolonged exposure to sweat.
What are the main colors of this polo shirt?
The main colors are Navy and Orange, with reflective elements for high visibility.
What sizes is this shirt available in?
This model is available in a range of adult male sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL.
Can this shirt be customized with a company logo?
While customization is not covered in this guide, many workwear brands offer logo application services. It is best to consult with the retailer or Blaklader directly about customization options, ensuring any process does not compromise the garment's safety certifications.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape is peeling or losing reflectivity.
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions (40°C, no tumble dry, no iron, no bleach, no dry clean). Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive agitation during washing.
Shirt feels less breathable or moisture-wicking over time.
Residue from detergents or improper washing can affect fabric performance. Try a gentle wash cycle with a minimal amount of detergent, and ensure no fabric softener is used. Ensure no bleach or harsh chemicals were used.
Unpleasant odor persists despite washing.
While the fabric has an anti-odor treatment, heavy soiling or improper washing can sometimes mask its effectiveness. Ensure the garment is thoroughly cleaned and dried completely. For persistent odors, a specialized sports wash might help, but always check if it's compatible with polyester.
