Full details

FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 3 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest level of visibility, required for tasks that carry the most risk and where workers need to be seen from the greatest distance.

Can this sweatshirt be used in heavy rain?

This sweatshirt is designed for visibility and warmth, not as primary rain protection. While it may offer some resistance to light moisture, it is not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be necessary.

How wide are the reflective stripes?

The reflective tape on this sweatshirt is 50 mm wide, providing substantial surface area for maximum visibility.

What is 'piqué fleece'?

Piqué fleece is a type of knitted fabric that has a textured, waffle-like pattern (piqué weave) on one side and a soft, brushed fleece on the other. This construction provides warmth and a pleasant feel against the skin.

Is the chest pocket large enough for a smartphone?

The chest pocket is designed for practical storage. While exact dimensions can vary, it is typically suitable for smaller to medium-sized smartphones. Checking specific measurements against your device is recommended.

Can this sweatshirt be worn over other clothing?

Yes, the sweatshirt is designed to be worn as an outer layer or over base layers and lighter shirts. Consider ordering a size up if you plan to layer heavier items underneath.

What is the benefit of the D-ring on the chest pocket?

The D-ring provides a secure point for attaching items such as ID badges, keys, or small tools, keeping them easily accessible and preventing loss.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing and drying instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can degrade reflective tape. Inspect reflective tape for damage.

Fleece material losing softness

Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog fleece fibers. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron directly on the brushed side.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Sizing seems incorrect

Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart for accurate measurements before purchasing. Consider your intended layering underneath when choosing a size.
