FAQs

What material is the PRO RTX High Visibility Waistcoat made from?

The waistcoat is made from 100% Polyester, offering durability and comfort.

How should I wash the waistcoat?

It is machine washable at 40°C. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.

What does 'high visibility' mean in this context?

High visibility means the garment is designed to make the wearer easily seen, particularly in hazardous working conditions or low-light environments, due to its bright colour and reflective strips.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the chest size chart provided. Measure around the fullest part of your chest and compare it to the listed measurements (e.g., S - 36in, M - 40in, etc.).

Can this waistcoat be worn over thick clothing?

Yes, it is designed to be layered over regular work attire, including jackets, depending on the size selected.

Are the reflective bands effective in all lighting conditions?

The reflective bands are most effective when illuminated by an external light source, such as headlights or work lights. They enhance visibility significantly in low-light or dark conditions when lit.

What is the purpose of the tear-release front closure?

The tear-release closure allows for quick and easy fastening and unfastening of the waistcoat, and can offer a slight degree of adjustability for a comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Reflective bands are losing their reflectivity.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can damage the reflective coating.

Tear-release closure is difficult to open or close.

Check the closure for dirt, debris, or lint. Gently clean the hook and loop surfaces with a stiff brush or a damp cloth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the closure.

Waistcoat feels too tight or too loose.

Verify that you have selected the correct size based on the chest measurement chart. The tear-release closure allows for minor adjustments, but a significant fit issue indicates an incorrect size was chosen.

Garment appears to be stretching or losing shape.

Confirm you are washing and drying the waistcoat according to the care label instructions. Excessive heat or improper drying can cause synthetic fabrics like polyester to lose their shape. Air drying on a flat surface is often preferable.
