FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

Class 3 is the highest level of visibility according to the EN ISO 20471 standard. It requires a specific amount of fluorescent background material and retroreflective tape, ensuring maximum visibility for the wearer in high-risk environments.

Is this fleece suitable for all weather conditions?

This fleece provides warmth and protection against cool environments (EN 14058 Class 2) and UV rays. It is not designed as a waterproof or heavy-duty cold-weather garment. For extreme conditions, it should be used as a mid-layer.

Why is the orange color specifically compliant with RIS 3279-TOM?

RIS 3279-TOM is a specific standard for high-visibility clothing required by the UK rail industry. The orange hue in this garment meets those specific requirements, ensuring compliance for workers in that sector.

How do I know if I should order a smaller size?

The garment is designed with a relaxed and generous fit. If you prefer a more tailored or snug fit, it is recommended to consult the sizing chart and potentially order one size down from your usual size.

Can I wear this fleece for everyday casual use?

Yes, while designed for workwear, the comfortable fleece and classic styling make it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather where visibility is also a benefit.

What is the UPF rating and what does it protect against?

The UPF rating is 50+, which is considered 'Excellent' protection. It means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, protecting your skin during prolonged exposure to sunlight.

How many pockets does this fleece have?

The Portwest Hi-Vis Two Tone Fleece features three pockets for convenient storage of personal items or small tools.

Troubleshooting

Fleece pilling after washing

Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature (40°C) and avoid over-drying. Use a mild detergent. The anti-pill finish is designed to minimize this, but occasional minor pilling can occur with heavy use.

Reflective tape losing reflectivity

Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the reflective coating. Do not dry clean. Follow the washing and drying instructions carefully.

Garment feels too large

The fit is intentionally relaxed and generous. Consider ordering one size down if a more fitted style is preferred. Refer to the sizing chart for precise measurements.

Reduced warmth after extended use

Ensure the fleece is clean and dry. For maximum warmth, wear it as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer in colder temperatures over appropriate base layers.
