FAQs
Does this hoodie meet international safety standards?
Yes, it conforms to the EN ISO 20471:2013 + A1:2016 Class 2 safety standards.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend washing inside out at a low temperature to preserve the reflective detailing.
Is this hoodie waterproof?
No, it is made from polyester and provides warmth and visibility, but it is not intended to be a waterproof garment.
What does the 310gsm rating mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter. A 310gsm fabric is relatively thick and heavy, indicating good durability and warmth.
Is the hood detachable?
No, this model features a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the hoodie.
Troubleshooting
Reflective strips showing signs of peeling
Avoid using high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can weaken the adhesive on reflective materials.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While the 310gsm fabric is durable, avoid direct contact with jagged industrial machinery to prevent surface pulls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of the high-visibility properties, follow the garment care label closely. Wash the hoodie inside out to protect the reflective strips from abrasion against other clothing in the machine. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh bleaches that could degrade the reflective material or the UPF 40+ coating. The garment is designed as a standalone layer or can be worn under a waterproof shell jacket in extreme weather. Ensure you check your specific local safety regulations to confirm if Class 2 compliance is sufficient for your specific workplace requirements.
