FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 1 certification mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 1 is a standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 1 represents the lowest level of visibility, suitable for situations where background visibility is good and traffic speeds are low. It ensures a minimum amount of fluorescent and retroreflective material.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?

Yes, the 100% polyester pique fabric is designed to be breathable and moisture-transporting, which helps keep the wearer cool. The UV protection also adds to comfort in sunny conditions.

Can I wear this polo shirt for demanding physical labor?

Yes, the moisture-wicking properties, breathability, and stretch of the fabric make it suitable for physically demanding tasks where staying dry and comfortable is important.

How do I ensure the anti-odour properties remain effective?

Follow the care instructions carefully, particularly regarding washing temperature and avoiding fabric softeners. Proper washing helps maintain the fabric's ability to inhibit bacterial growth.

What is the difference between this polo and a hi-vis jacket?

This polo shirt meets Class 1 visibility standards, suitable for moderate risk environments. Hi-vis jackets often offer higher visibility classes (Class 2 or 3) and may provide additional protection against elements like wind and rain, making them suitable for higher-risk or adverse weather conditions.

What size should I order if I typically wear a large?

Refer to the product's size chart for specific measurements. This guide lists 'XL' as the featured size, but actual fit can vary. It's recommended to measure yourself and compare with the provided sizing guide.

Can the reflective tape be removed or altered?

The reflective tape is an integral part of the garment's safety certification. It is not designed to be removed. Altering it would compromise the hi-vis certification.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape is peeling or losing reflectivity.

Ensure washing and drying instructions (no tumble dry, no iron) are strictly followed. Excessive heat or abrasion can damage the reflective layer.

Shirt feels damp or clammy.

Verify that the shirt is not layered with non-breathable materials underneath. The moisture-wicking properties work best when direct contact is maintained with the skin or a suitable base layer.

Unpleasant odors persist after washing.

While the fabric has anti-odour treatment, heavy soiling or incorrect washing can sometimes lead to lingering smells. Ensure the wash temperature is appropriate (40°C) and avoid fabric softeners which can impede wicking and odour control.

Shrinkage after washing.

The garment should be washed at 40°C and not tumble dried. Ensure you are not using a hotter wash cycle than recommended, and air dry the shirt.
