FAQs
Is this jacket certified high-visibility?
No, this jacket features high-visibility panels and reflective details for increased visibility but is not certified as high-visibility (Hi-Vis) clothing according to relevant standards.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester microfleece, weighing 170g/m², which is brushed on both sides and treated to be anti-piling.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron at a low temperature if needed. Avoid fabric softeners.
Does it have inner pockets?
Yes, the jacket has two zippered front pockets and two inner pockets for storing personal items.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
This microfleece jacket is designed as a mid-layer for warmth and visibility. It offers some protection against light wind but is not waterproof and would not be suitable for heavy rain without an additional waterproof outer layer.
What does 'anti-piling' mean?
Anti-piling means the fabric is treated or constructed in a way that significantly reduces the formation of small balls or 'pills' on the surface, maintaining a smoother appearance over time.
How can I adjust the fit at the bottom?
The bottom hem is adjustable with an elastic band, allowing you to cinch it for a closer fit and to prevent drafts.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and check the fit. Adjust the elasticated hem if necessary for a closer fit.
Fleece material has started to pill
While the jacket is designed with anti-piling properties, excessive washing or abrasion can contribute to pilling. Adhere to the recommended washing instructions, wash inside out, and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
Reflective details appear worn after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid high heat drying or ironing directly on the reflective elements.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
