FAQs

What material is the Hi Vis Waistcoat made from?

The waistcoat is constructed from 100% polyester, making it lightweight and durable.

Does this waistcoat have pockets?

No, this model features a simple sleeveless design with front fastening and does not include pockets.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

This guide specifies a Size Medium (M). It is designed to fit over standard adult work clothing. Refer to sizing charts if available or try on if possible to ensure a comfortable fit.

Is this waistcoat suitable for all types of work environments?

Yes, it is designed for professional and outdoor work environments where high visibility is essential, such as construction, road work, and warehousing.

What does EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring a minimum level of conspicuity for the wearer. Class 2 offers a mid-level of visibility, suitable for many on-site roles.

Can I wear this over a thick jacket?

The waistcoat is designed to fit over standard work clothes. While it can be worn over a light jacket, a very thick jacket might make the fit tight or uncomfortable.

How should I clean the waistcoat to maintain its visibility?

Machine wash at a low temperature with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting, preferably inside out, avoiding direct contact with reflective tape.

Troubleshooting

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

This can be caused by excessive heat during washing or drying, or harsh detergents. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully. If damage is severe, the waistcoat may need replacement for continued safety compliance.

Fastening not secure

Ensure the hook and loop (Velcro) surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush off any lint or dirt. If the Velcro is worn out, the waistcoat may need replacing.

Color fading significantly

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh washing can cause fading. Wash inside out with a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure when drying.
