FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Mascot Accelerate Safe Hoodie?

Its primary purpose is to provide enhanced visibility and safety in work environments, while also offering comfort and durability for daily wear.

Is this hoodie suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the blend of combed cotton with a brushed interior ensures comfort against the skin, making it suitable for all-day wear.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

This certification indicates the garment meets high standards for visibility, with specific requirements for fluorescent background material and retroreflective tape. Class 3 is the highest level of protection.

How do the elastic reflectors work?

The elastic reflectors are designed to stretch with the fabric, maintaining their reflective properties and ensuring visibility even during movement.

What are the environmental certifications for this product?

The product is OEKO-Tex® Standard 100 certified, ensuring it is free from harmful substances. It is also manufactured and transported using partners adhering to ISO 14001 standards, and packaged with recycled materials.

Can I wear this hoodie in hot weather?

While it offers comfort, it is a substantial hoodie (340 g/m² fabric weight). It is best suited for cooler weather or as a safety layer in milder conditions. The UPF 40+ rating also offers some sun protection.

What sizes are available, and does the safety class differ?

The hoodie is available in various sizes. Sizes XS-S are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, while larger sizes (M and up) are certified to Class 3.

Troubleshooting

Reflective strips losing reflectivity

Ensure you are following the washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can degrade the reflective material.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. You can also try gently running a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Color fading

Wash inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying to preserve color fastness, especially on the polyester side.

Shrinking after washing

Ensure the garment is washed according to the 40°C instruction and not exposed to high heat during drying. Air drying is recommended.
