FAQs
Is this sweater certified for high-visibility standards?
No, this sweater is not certified as high-visibility workwear. It features reflective details and Hi-vis panels for increased visibility but does not meet official certification requirements.
What material is the sweater made of?
The dark parts of the sweater are made of 100% cotton french terry (320 g/m²), while the Hi-vis parts are made of 100% polyester fluorescent fabric.
How should I wash this sweater?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C. Do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Iron at a maximum of 150°C. Do not dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.
What does 'extended back' mean?
An extended back means the sweater is slightly longer in the back than in the front, providing extra coverage and warmth, especially when bending over.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This sweater is designed as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over base layers and under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.
What is the difference between reflective tape and Hi-vis panels?
Reflective tape reflects light back to the source, making the wearer visible when illuminated by headlights or other light sources. Hi-vis panels are made of brightly colored fluorescent material that enhances visibility during daylight hours.
Does this sweater have pockets?
The provided product information does not specify the presence of pockets. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications if available.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to repair it with adhesives, as this may compromise safety. Consider replacing the garment if the reflective function is significantly impaired.
Sweater lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions, particularly regarding temperature. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Color fading on Hi-vis panels.
Minimize exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Follow the recommended washing temperature (max 40°C) and avoid harsh detergents.
