What materials is the hoodie made of?

The hoodie is made from a blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. The inside is brushed for comfort (cotton), and the outside provides durability and color fastness (polyester).

How should I care for this hoodie to maintain its safety features?

Wash at 40°C on a normal cycle, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron at a moderate temperature. Professional dry-cleaning is also an option. Avoid harsh cleaning that can damage the reflective properties.

Can I put a large company logo on this hoodie?

Is this hoodie suitable for all-day wear?

What is the weight of the fabric?

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (40°C normal wash, no bleach, no tumble dry). Harsh cleaning methods can degrade the reflective properties and color.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is dirty, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can help lubricate it.

Pilling or loss of softness on the inside

This can occur with normal wear and washing. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the brushed finish. Gentle washing and avoiding high heat drying are key.

Fit is too tight or too loose

Verify that you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart. The product features a modern, close fit; consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear bulky layers underneath. Note that the Hi-Vis certification class changes between sizes XS-S (Class 2) and M-5XL (Class 3).
