FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest class, indicating the garment offers the greatest level of visibility. This is typically achieved through a combination of fluorescent background material and retroreflective tape.

Can this sweatshirt be washed in a regular home washing machine?

While it is certified for industrial washing (EN ISO 15797), it can be machine washed at a maximum of 60°C. However, for optimal longevity and to maintain its certified properties, industrial washing is recommended if available.

What is the material of the sweatshirt?

The sweatshirt is made from 100% polyester, specifically a piqué fleece with a brushed finish on one side, weighing 240 g/m². This provides a balance of warmth, comfort, and durability.

Does the sweatshirt have any pockets?

Yes, it features one chest pocket with a zipper for secure storage and includes a D-ring attached to the pocket for hanging items like ID cards or keys.

What is the purpose of the segmented reflective tape?

The segmented design of the reflective tape allows it to be more flexible and conform to the body's movements. This ensures continuous visibility even when the wearer is bending, stretching, or performing physically demanding tasks.

Is this sweatshirt suitable for all weather conditions?

It is designed to provide warmth and visibility, making it ideal for cool to moderate conditions. For very cold weather, it may be best used as a mid-layer under a heavier outer garment. For very hot weather, the polyester material might feel warm.

How do I ensure I choose the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your chest and waist accurately. The sweatshirt has a regular fit, so consider your preferred layering habits when selecting your size. Ensure it fits comfortably without being too tight or too loose to allow for proper visibility.

Troubleshooting

Sweatshirt is not visible enough.

Ensure the reflective tape is clean and free from dirt or damage. Verify that the garment is the correct size and worn properly, not covered by other clothing layers that obscure the reflective elements.

Fleece material is pilling or losing softness.

Follow the recommended industrial washing guidelines. Avoid using harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade the fabric. Consider a gentle cycle if using a domestic machine that can simulate industrial washing standards.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Check the zipper track for any fabric obstructions. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper with a wax-based product can sometimes help.
