FAQs
Is this hoodie suitable for heavy winter weather?
It provides a base level of warmth with its brushed-back fabric but is intended as a mid-layer or light outer layer; you may need a waterproof shell over it in extreme cold or rain.
What does Class 2 safety certification mean?
Class 2 indicates the garment provides a higher level of visibility than Class 1, suitable for workers in areas with traffic speeds up to 50 mph or complex, high-risk work environments.
Does the material have any stretch?
The polyester fabric offers a standard comfortable fit, but it is not a technical four-way stretch garment.
Can I tumble dry this hoodie?
It is recommended to air dry this product to protect the reflective strips and the integrity of the fabric fibers.
Is the UPF 40+ rating permanent?
The UPF protection is built into the fabric construction, providing consistent protection throughout the life of the garment.
What size should I choose?
The hoodie follows standard sizing; however, since it is a work garment, many users prefer to size up if they intend to wear layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape appears dull after washing
Ensure you are using a mild, non-bleach detergent and check that the garment is turned inside out before washing.
Hood toggle not holding tension
Check the toggle mechanism for lint or debris and ensure the drawstring is not twisted inside the hood channel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the high-visibility properties and fabric integrity, always follow these care guidelines: wash at a low temperature using a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the reflective strips. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape of the toggle-adjustable hood. When layering, ensure that no other garment obstructs the reflective patches. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to prevent fading.
