FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 3 mean?

Class 3 is the highest level of visibility according to this standard, indicating the garment has the largest area of fluorescent background material and retroreflective tape, making the wearer most visible in traffic and complex environments.

Is the hood detachable?

Yes, the hood is detachable, offering versatility depending on weather conditions and work requirements. It is also designed to be helmet-compatible.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?

Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C max) with liquid detergent, close zippers, and wash with similar colors. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat after washing to restore water repellency. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

What materials are used in the jacket?

The shell is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the insulation for both sleeves and body is 100% Polyester (Recycled).

Can this jacket be worn in very cold conditions?

The jacket meets EN 342 standards for cold protection, indicating it offers some thermal insulation. For extremely cold weather, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

What is the benefit of the hem adjustment being inside the pocket?

Accessing the hem adjustment elastic through the pocket eliminates external drawcords, reducing the risk of snagging on machinery or equipment, which enhances safety on the worksite.

What is VIZLITE DT technology?

VIZLITE DT technology refers to the dual technology used for high visibility, ensuring the wearer remains safe and visible in various lighting conditions.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used in washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try gently lubricating it with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the hem drawcord and cuffs for a better fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that do not add excessive bulk.

Reflective stripes appear damaged

Avoid ironing directly on the reflective stripes. If minor damage occurs, professional repair may be needed to maintain visibility standards.
