This guide is for adults requiring high-visibility workwear that also offers comfort and durability. The Mascot Accelerate Safe Hoodie provides enhanced safety with its certified hi-vis design and reflective elements, combined with a modern slim fit for a contemporary look. A key caveat is that while Class 3 certification applies to most sizes, XS-S sizes are certified to Class 2, which may affect visibility requirements in certain applications.

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest class, indicating the garment provides the most conspicuous visibility, suitable for situations with the greatest risks, such as working alongside high-speed traffic.
No, sizes XS and S are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2, which provides a lower level of visibility than Class 3. This is due to the reduced surface area available for hi-vis materials on smaller garments.
The hoodie is made from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. It features a brushed inside for warmth and softness, and a durable stretch polyester exterior.
While the cotton blend offers some breathability, the hoodie is designed for protection and visibility. The UPF 40+ rating also means it protects against UV radiation. For very hot conditions, lighter hi-vis options might be more suitable.
Clean the reflective strips gently by following the standard washing instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the reflective coating. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
While the product description specifies 'Recommended gender: Man' and 'Male' in some variants, the slim fit and design can be suitable for anyone prioritizing high-visibility workwear. It is important to check the specific size and fit for individual wearers.
Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a certification that ensures textile products have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore safe for human health. This means the fabric used in the hoodie is free from any harmful chemicals.
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat, which can degrade reflective materials. Check for wear and tear on reflective strips.
Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric and debris. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it remains stiff.
Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's performance. Washing with similar colors and air-drying can help maintain fabric quality.
Verify that the correct size was selected using the manufacturer's size guide. If the fit is still too restrictive for your intended use, consider a different model with a regular fit.
Setup:
This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart to ensure optimal fit and safety compliance.
Compatibility:
The hoodie is designed to be worn as outerwear or as a layer over base garments. It is compatible with other standard workwear items. For maximum visibility, ensure no other clothing items obscure the hi-vis material or reflective strips.
