FAQs

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 3 mean?

EN ISO 20471 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest level of visibility, indicating the garment has the largest area of fluorescent material and retro-reflective tape, making the wearer most conspicuous.

Can this sweatshirt be worn in very cold weather?

While the fleece provides warmth, for extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer this sweatshirt over warmer base layers and potentially wear a more insulated outer jacket over it.

How often should I wash the sweatshirt?

Washing frequency depends on usage and soiling. However, for industrial use, it's often laundered regularly to maintain hygiene and ensure high-visibility standards are met. Always adhere to the industrial washing guidelines (EN ISO 15797) to preserve the garment's integrity.

What are the dimensions of the chest pocket?

Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but it is designed to securely hold common items like a mobile phone or small notepad.

Is the reflective tape durable?

The segmented reflective tape is designed for durability and flexibility. However, its lifespan depends on wear and washing frequency. Regular inspection is recommended.

Can I customize this sweatshirt with a company logo?

While the product information does not specify customization options, many workwear items can be customized. It is advisable to consult with a professional workwear supplier regarding logo application, ensuring it does not compromise the garment's hi-vis certification.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric is a Pique Fleece weighing 240 g/m².

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective tape

Ensure the tape is clean and free from dirt or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals during washing that could degrade the material. If the tape is physically damaged, it may need replacement or the garment may need to be retired.

Fleece material feels less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes reduce the effectiveness of hi-vis coatings. Ensure the garment is dried correctly according to care instructions. A brief tumble dry on medium heat can sometimes help restore softness.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
