Product Information
Full details
This Helly Hansen Workwear Uc-Me Fleece Jacket in Orange (XXL) is designed for adult workers requiring high visibility and comfort in various conditions. Its key benefit is enhanced safety through EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification and VizLite DT stripes, combined with the warmth and durability of fleece. A potential caveat is that Class 2 certification applies to smaller sizes (XS-S), so users of those sizes should be aware. This jacket features a YKK front zipper, chin protector, hand pockets with zippers and brushed lining, and ID card loop, all constructed from 100% Polyester fleece.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?
EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest level of protection, indicating maximum background and retro-reflective material for optimal visibility.
Are the VizLite DT stripes always visible?
VizLite DT stripes are designed to glow in low-light and no-light conditions, providing enhanced visibility when there is minimal ambient light. They do not replace standard high-visibility requirements in daylight.
Can this jacket be worn in the rain?
This jacket is made of fleece, which offers warmth but is not waterproof. It can provide some resistance to light moisture, but for protection against rain, it should be worn with a waterproof outer layer.
How do I ensure the highest visibility from this jacket?
Ensure the jacket is clean, undamaged, and worn correctly according to its design. The high-visibility materials function best when not obscured by other clothing or dirt.
Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?
The fleece material makes it suitable for cool to cold weather. It can be worn alone in milder conditions or layered for colder temperatures. It is not designed as a primary garment for extreme heat or heavy rain.
What is the benefit of the brushed polyester inside collar?
The brushed lining inside the collar provides a softer feel against the skin, increasing comfort during prolonged wear and helping to trap a small amount of insulating air.
What sizes are EN ISO 20471 Class 2?
For this specific jacket, sizes XS and S meet the EN ISO 20471 Class 2 standard. Sizes M and above meet the higher Class 3 standard.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Check that the fabric is not caught in the zipper slider.
Fleece material is pilling
Pilling is a common characteristic of fleece. To minimize it, wash the garment inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat drying. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Reduced visibility of reflective stripes
Ensure the stripes are clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the reflective coating. Check care label for recommended washing procedures.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the correct size was selected. Refer to the sizing chart. For minor adjustments, consider layering options. If the fit is significantly off, check the return policy.
