FAQs

What is the primary material of this sweater?

The sweater is made from 100% polyester with a one-side brushed finish for comfort, weighing 240 g/m².

What safety standards does this garment meet?

It is certified according to EN ISO 20471. Orange colorways also comply with RIS-3279-TOM issue 2.

Does the visibility class change based on size?

Yes, garments in sizes XS-S are certified as Class 2, while sizes M-XXXL are certified as Class 3 according to EN ISO 20471.

How should I clean the sweater to maintain its visibility?

Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at low temperature. Always wash inside out and avoid fabric softeners or direct ironing on reflective tape.

Is this sweater suitable for women?

While this specific listing is for a male cut, Blaklader offers a women's reference (3347) with a similar design. Check product availability for the specific cut you need.

What is the warranty on the Blaklader seams?

Blaklader guarantees its seams for life, indicating a commitment to durable construction.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This sweater provides warmth and high visibility. For extreme cold, it can be layered with additional insulating clothing underneath.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape losing reflectivity

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly avoiding high heat drying and direct ironing on the tape. Wash inside out.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Sweater feels too warm

This garment is designed for warmth and visibility. For very hot conditions, consider lighter, non-insulated high-visibility options. Ensure proper ventilation by partially unzipping.

Incorrect visibility class for size

Verify the size of your garment. Smaller sizes (XS-S) are Class 2, while larger sizes (M-XXXL) are Class 3 according to EN ISO 20471. This is a standard industry practice.
