FAQs
What does Hi-Vis Group A certified to EN ISO 20471 mean?
This certification indicates the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing. Group A defines the type of material, and Class 3 (for sizes L and up) signifies the highest level of visibility, requiring a minimum amount of fluorescent and retroreflective material.
Are there different visibility classes for different sizes?
Yes, sizes XS and S are certified as Class 2, while larger sizes (M and up) are certified as Class 3, offering a higher degree of visibility.
Can I add my company logo?
Yes, logo areas are available on the front or back. However, to maintain the garment's safety certifications, logos cannot exceed 50% of the total approved logo area.
What is UPF 40+ certification?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 40+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of harmful UV radiation, providing excellent sun protection.
How is the fabric blend beneficial?
The 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend combines the softness and moisture-wicking properties of cotton with the durability and wrinkle resistance of polyester. The brushed interior adds extra warmth and comfort.
Is this hoodie suitable for very cold weather?
The brushed interior offers warmth, making it suitable for cooler conditions. For extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer over thermal clothing.
What does 'OEKO-TEX® Standard 100' certification signify?
This certification ensures that the textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health.
Troubleshooting
Reflective strips losing reflectivity
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during drying or ironing, as these can degrade reflective properties.
Shrinkage after washing
Confirm the garment was not exposed to excessive heat during washing or drying. Adhere strictly to the 'Normal wash (40°C)' and 'Do not tumble dry' instructions.
Zipper malfunction
Ensure the zipper is free of debris. If it becomes stuck, try gently wiggling it. Close the zipper fully before washing to prevent damage.
Discomfort from neck seam
The hoodie features extra padding over the neck seam. Ensure the garment is worn correctly. If irritation persists, consider alternative neckwear or a slightly larger size if the fit is too snug.
