FAQs

What is the primary material of this hooded sweater?

The sweater is made from 100% polyester with one side brushed, weighing 240 g/m².

How does the reflective tape work?

The 50 mm wide reflective tape is designed to reflect light back towards the source, making the wearer highly visible in low-light conditions or when illuminated by headlights.

Does the EN ISO 20471 certification apply equally to all sizes?

No, the certification class varies by size. Sizes XS-S are certified as Class 2, while sizes M-XXXL are certified as Class 3.

Can this sweater be worn in wet conditions?

The polyester material offers some resistance to moisture and dries quickly, making it suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer.

Are there other color options available?

This specific model (3346) is available in the color orange for high-visibility purposes. Refer to other Blaklader products for different color options.

How should I clean the sweater to maintain its reflective properties?

Machine wash at 40°C and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Washing inside out can help protect the reflective tape.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid harsh washing or high-heat drying. If damage is severe, consider replacing the garment as reflective integrity is compromised.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. Gently move the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax can be applied to the teeth.

Garment loses its shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid over-drying on high heat, which can shrink polyester. Lay flat or hang to dry if possible.
