FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471: 2013 Class 2 mean?
This standard specifies the requirements for high-visibility clothing. Class 2 is a mid-level certification, indicating the garment has sufficient fluorescent and retro-reflective material to make the wearer visible in medium to high-risk environments.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
The 280gsm brushed fleece provides warmth, making it suitable for cooler conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer over thermal base layers.
How do I ensure the recycled material doesn't affect performance?
Repreve Polyester is engineered for performance and durability, comparable to virgin polyester. The hoodie is designed to maintain breathability and comfort while being environmentally conscious.
Can I wear this for non-work activities?
While designed for safety and work, the hoodie's comfort and features make it suitable for casual wear, especially if you appreciate high visibility and the use of recycled materials.
What is GRS Certified?
GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. This certification verifies that the polyester used is indeed recycled and ensures responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices throughout the production chain.
How many pockets does this hoodie have?
The hoodie features a total of three zip pockets: one on the chest and two lower pockets.
Does the hood have an adjustment mechanism?
Yes, the hood features a drawcord that allows you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Hoodie feels stiff after washing.
This can be due to the fabric treatment. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding tumble drying on low heat. A low-heat iron may also help restore softness.
Reflective bands appear to be losing their reflectivity.
Avoid harsh detergents, excessive heat during washing or drying, and direct ironing on the reflective bands. Refer to the care instructions for optimal maintenance.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help smooth operation.
Shrinkage after washing.
Ensure the hoodie is tumble dried on a low heat setting only. High heat can cause polyester to shrink. Check the care label for specific temperature guidelines.
