Product Information
Full details
This Blaklader 4966 Jacket in Red (XL) is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight, comfortable, and highly visible garment. Its primary benefit is enhanced safety through extensive reflective detailing, making it ideal for work environments or outdoor activities. A potential consideration is its classification as Class 2 or Class 3 high-visibility safety clothing, which might be more than needed for casual use.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?
This certification ensures the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, designed to make the wearer conspicuous in hazardous situations, especially in traffic or dark environments.
What is the difference in visibility class between sizes?
Sizes XS to M are certified to Class 2, while sizes L and above (including XL) are certified to Class 3, offering a higher level of visibility due to a larger surface area of fluorescent and retroreflective material.
Can this jacket be worn as primary workwear?
Yes, for tasks requiring high visibility and moderate protection from the elements. It is also ideal as a second layer for added warmth and visibility.
How do I ensure the reflective tape lasts?
Follow the care instructions carefully: machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and avoid dry cleaning or high-heat ironing. Do not use fabric softener.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is made from microfleece and is not waterproof. It offers protection against wind and light moisture but is not intended for heavy rain.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, 170g/m² anti-pilling microfleece.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
This can occur with improper washing or excessive wear. Avoid high heat in washing and drying. If minor, some fabric adhesives can repair small areas, but significant damage may require replacement of the garment to maintain certification.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Check the inner wind flap is not caught in the zipper mechanism.
Jacket feels too light for cold weather.
This jacket is designed as a lighter outer layer or a mid-layer. For colder conditions, layer it over thermal base layers and/or under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.
Sizing feels incorrect.
Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart for women's apparel. The jacket is designed with a specific women's cut; ensure you are comparing against the correct size guide.
