FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 certification mean?

EN ISO 20471 Class 3 is the highest class of visibility certification for protective clothing. It indicates that the garment has a sufficient area of fluorescent and retro-reflective material to ensure high visibility to others, especially in hazardous work environments and low-light conditions.

What is the material composition of the hoodie?

The hoodie is made from a blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester. The interior is brushed for softness and warmth.

Can I add my company logo to this hoodie?

Yes, you can add a logo, but it must be restricted to a maximum of 50% of the total approved area to maintain the EN ISO 20471 certification.

What type of fit does this hoodie have?

This specific variant has a modern slim fit. It is designed to be closer to the body while allowing for freedom of movement.

What is UPF 40+ protection?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF rating of 40+ means the fabric will block more than 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing significant protection against sun exposure.

Is this hoodie suitable for all weather conditions?

The hoodie is designed for comfort and visibility. Its brushed interior makes it warm for cooler conditions, and it can be layered. However, it is not waterproof or windproof, so for extreme weather, additional layers may be necessary.

How should I clean the hoodie to maintain its safety features?

Wash at 40°C, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron at a moderate temperature. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, which can degrade the reflective materials and fabric performance.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing is done according to care instructions (40°C, no bleach, no tumble dry). Avoid harsh detergents that can degrade reflective materials. Iron on a moderate setting, avoiding direct high heat on reflective strips.

Shrinking or loss of fit

Confirm that the hoodie is not being washed or dried at excessive temperatures. Do not tumble dry; air dry flat or on a hanger. Ironing should be done at moderate temperatures.

Discomfort from seams

The product features extra padding over the neck seam to prevent irritation. Ensure the garment is worn correctly. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath.

Reflective strips peeling or cracking

Avoid aggressive washing or high-heat ironing directly on the reflective elements. Follow the specific care instructions for reflective garments.
