FAQs
What material is the Pro Rtx Hi-Vis Vest made from?
The vest is made from 100% Polyester with a weight of 120gsm.
How should I clean the Hi-Vis Vest?
You can machine wash the vest at a maximum of 40°C and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not bleach or dry clean. Iron on a low heat, avoiding the reflective tape.
Is this vest suitable for all weather conditions?
The vest is lightweight and primarily designed for high visibility. For cold weather, it should be worn over warm layers. In very hot conditions, its breathability can help, but extended wear may still be uncomfortable for some.
What does 'oversized fit' mean for this vest?
An oversized fit means the vest is cut larger than a standard fit, allowing it to be easily worn over other clothing items without feeling restrictive. It provides a relaxed silhouette.
How does the vest fasten?
The vest fastens with full-length hook and loop fasteners, allowing for easy adjustment and secure closure.
What is the GSM of the fabric?
The fabric has a weight of 120gsm (grams per square meter).
Who is this vest intended for?
This vest is intended for adult use in professions where high visibility is required for safety, such as construction, road work, logistics, and event management.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too large or baggy.
Adjust the hook and loop fasteners for a tighter fit. Consider layering with thicker clothing underneath if the oversized fit is problematic.
Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.
Discontinue use of the vest. Damaged reflective tape compromises visibility and safety. Replace the vest with a new one.
Colour seems faded after washing.
Ensure washing is done at a maximum of 40°C and avoid harsh detergents. If fading persists, it may be due to normal wear and tear over time.
Vest is uncomfortable to wear for long periods.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. The lightweight polyester is designed for breathability, but personal comfort can depend on undergarments and ambient temperature.
