Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 3338 Hi-Vis Polo Shirt is designed for male adults requiring enhanced visibility and comfort in demanding work environments. Its key benefit is the combination of high-visibility features, UV protection, and moisture-wicking fabric to keep users dry and protected. A potential caveat is that its Class 1 certification may not be sufficient for all high-risk environments, which typically require Class 2 or 3.

FAQs
What level of visibility does this polo shirt offer?
This polo shirt is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 1, which is the basic level of high visibility. It features reflective tape for enhanced visibility in various conditions.
Can this shirt be used in all high-risk work environments?
Class 1 certification may not be sufficient for all high-risk environments. Always check your workplace's specific safety regulations, as many require Class 2 or Class 3 visibility ratings.
How does the anti-odour feature work?
The fabric is treated to reduce bacterial growth. Bacteria are often the cause of unpleasant odors, so this treatment helps to keep the shirt smelling fresher for longer by limiting their proliferation.
What is the UPF rating, and what does it mean for UV protection?
The shirt has a UPF 40+ rating, which stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. This indicates excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, blocking 97.5% or more of UV rays.
Is the polyester fabric breathable?
Yes, the 100% polyester pique fabric is designed with a wicking and moisture-transporting system, which enhances breathability and helps keep the wearer dry by moving sweat away from the skin.
What are the recommended washing instructions?
Machine wash normally at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Professional dry cleaning is also not recommended. Proper care is essential to maintain the garment's hi-vis properties and fabric integrity.
What material is the collar made of?
The collar is a rib-knitted collar, designed for comfort and to maintain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Shirt does not feel as bright as expected
Ensure the reflective tape is clean and free from dirt or debris. Washing according to care instructions can sometimes restore reflectivity. Confirm that the shirt is indeed Class 1 certified as per its labeling.
Fabric feels damp or heavy
This can happen if the moisture-wicking system is overwhelmed or if the garment needs washing. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended washing temperature and consider washing with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede wicking.
Odours persist after washing
While the fabric has an anti-odour treatment, heavy use or specific types of perspiration can sometimes lead to lingering smells. Ensure the garment is washed thoroughly at 40°C. Allowing the garment to air dry completely can also help.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged
This is likely due to improper care, such as ironing or tumble drying. Cease using heat treatments. Minor peeling may not significantly affect visibility, but extensive damage may require replacement of the garment.
