FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. It ensures the garment meets specific requirements for fluorescent colors and retroreflective materials to make the wearer more conspicuous.

How do I ensure I have the correct size?

Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart. Measure your chest and waist circumference and compare it to the provided dimensions. The sweater is designed for a regular fit.

Can this sweater be worn as an outer layer?

It is designed as a comfortable mid-layer or outer layer in moderate conditions. For extreme weather, it is recommended to layer it with additional protective outerwear.

What is the warranty on the seams?

Blaklader offers a lifetime guarantee on the seams of this product, highlighting their commitment to durability and quality.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is fixed but adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and light rain.

Are there other colors available?

This specific model (3346) is primarily offered in high-visibility orange to meet safety standards. Other colors may be available in different Blaklader product lines.

How should I care for the reflective tape?

Wash inside out at a low temperature (max 40°C), do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can degrade the tape's effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat settings. If damage persists after proper care, contact customer support.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Garment feels less visible after several washes.

Check care label instructions. Over time, the reflective properties can diminish with excessive washing or improper care. Ensure you are washing at low temperatures and avoiding bleach or aggressive detergents.

The fit is too tight or too loose.

Consult the size chart provided by Blaklader to ensure you selected the correct size based on your measurements. Note that fit can also be influenced by personal preference for layering underneath.
