Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 4993 Full Zip Microfleece Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable and visible mid-layer for work or outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is enhanced visibility and comfort due to its microfleece material and reflective details. A potential caveat is that its high-visibility certification is not applicable, meaning it's best suited for supplementary visibility rather than primary safety compliance in certain high-risk environments. This jacket features anti-piling micro-fleece, a fleece-lined collar, front pockets with zippers, inner pockets, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a customized fit.

FAQs
What is the primary function of the reflective elements?
The reflective elements and high-vis panels are designed to increase the wearer's visibility in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or in dimly lit workspaces. However, note that this garment is not certified as high-visibility workwear.
Is this jacket waterproof or windproof?
This jacket is made of microfleece and provides warmth and some wind resistance. It is not waterproof and is best used as a mid-layer. For protection against rain and stronger winds, an outer shell is recommended.
How should I care for the microfleece to prevent pilling?
The jacket is made with an anti-piling treatment. To maintain its quality, machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colors, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
What does 'Hi-vis certification not applicable' mean?
It means the jacket has not undergone testing and certification to meet specific high-visibility standards (like EN ISO 20471). While it has reflective features, it should not be relied upon as the sole source of visibility in environments with strict safety regulations.
Can I wear this jacket in hot weather?
No, this microfleece jacket is designed for cooler temperatures. It provides insulation and warmth, making it suitable for moderate to cold weather as a mid-layer or outer layer in mild conditions.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester microfleece, with a weight of 170 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stuck
Gently pull the zipper while checking for any fabric caught in the teeth. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper track.
Jacket feels too tight or loose
Adjust the elasticated hem and cuffs for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements. If the fit is still unsatisfactory, consider exchanging for a different size.
Fleece material is losing its softness
Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Use a fabric softener sparingly if needed. Avoid high heat drying.
Reflectors appear faded or damaged
Avoid excessive abrasion and harsh chemicals during washing. If reflectors are significantly damaged, it may affect visibility and the jacket's intended function.
