Class 3 is the highest level of visibility according to the EN ISO 20471 standard. It indicates that the garment has sufficient fluorescent and retroreflective material to be clearly seen in complex environments and at high speeds, making it suitable for roadside work and other high-risk situations. Sizes XS-S are certified as Class 2.
To maintain the reflective properties, avoid tumble drying and high ironing temperatures. Wash the garment inside out at 40°C with mild detergent and do not bleach. Close zippers before washing.
Yes, you can add a logo. However, to maintain the EN ISO 20471 certification, the logo on the front or back can only constitute a maximum of 50% of the total approved logo area.
The hoodie is certified to EN 13758-2 UPF 40+. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks more than 97.5% of UV radiation, offering significant protection against sun exposure.
The 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend offers a balance of benefits: cotton provides softness, breathability, and moisture absorption, while polyester adds durability, resistance to stretching and shrinking, and helps the fabric retain its shape and color. The brushed interior enhances comfort.
The hoodie provides warmth due to its brushed interior and is suitable for moderate temperatures or as a layer in colder weather. Its UV protection is beneficial for outdoor use in sunny conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulation would be necessary.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification means that the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It ensures that the materials used are free from a wide range of toxic chemicals.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure fabric is not caught in the zipper pull.
Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Do not tumble dry. If minor peeling occurs, a moderate iron setting might help re-adhere small areas, but excessive heat will cause further damage. Professional care is recommended for best results.
Wash inside out with similar colors. Use a detergent free of optical brighteners. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Adhere strictly to the recommended 40°C wash temperature.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes reduce the absorbency and feel of brushed fabrics over time. Tumble drying on low heat, if suitable for the specific fabric blend, can sometimes restore softness but check care labels carefully.
Setup: This product requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase.
Compatibility: While designed as workwear, it can be worn as a casual garment. It adheres to EN ISO 20471 Class 3 standards, meaning it's compatible with other Class 3 garments for enhanced visibility if needed. Ensure any custom logos applied do not exceed 50% of the approved logo area to maintain certification.
