Product Information
Full details
The Pulsar PR498 Interactive Body Warmer is designed for adult unisex wear, offering a versatile layering solution for those needing enhanced visibility and interaction with other garments. Its key benefit is its adaptability, allowing it to be zipped into compatible Pulsar coats for added warmth and protection. A potential caveat is its Class 2 high-visibility rating, which may not be sufficient for all safety-critical environments requiring Class 3. Key features include YKK interactive zip fastening, detachable sleeves, a longer scalloped back, and anchorage points for integration with Pulsar Storm Coats.

FAQs
What makes this body warmer 'interactive'?
The 'interactive' feature means it has a specific YKK zip and anchorage points designed to zip into compatible outer garments, such as Pulsar Storm Coats, creating a combined, more protective layer.
What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 high-visibility clothing?
Class 3 is the highest level of visibility, requiring more fluorescent background material and reflective tape than Class 2. Class 2 is suitable for many environments, but Class 3 is often mandated for higher-risk situations or faster-moving traffic.
Can I wear this body warmer on its own?
Yes, the body warmer can be worn as a standalone piece of outerwear, providing warmth and visibility. The sleeves can also be detached for greater versatility.
What materials is the body warmer made from?
The main fabric is 300 Denier breathable PU coated Polyester. It reverses to grey soft-touch microfibre padding.
How do I clean the PR498 body warmer?
You can machine wash it at 40°C with similar colours. Avoid tumble drying, dry cleaning, and using bleach. A warm iron can be used if necessary.
What sizes and colours are available?
This model is available in multiple sizes (S to XXXXL) and in Orange and Grey colourways. Specific availability may vary.
Does it have pockets?
The product description does not specify pockets. Please refer to product imagery or detailed specifications for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to engage with compatible coat
Ensure both garments are clean and free of debris around the zippers. Check that you are using a compatible Pulsar coat model and that the zippers are correctly aligned.
Detachable sleeves are hard to remove or reattach
Gently but firmly pull the sleeves away from the fastening points. When reattaching, ensure the seam aligns correctly before securing.
Garment loses its water-resistant properties
This may indicate the PU coating is wearing. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and tumble drying, which can degrade the coating. Consider a re-proofing spray suitable for technical outdoor wear if performance significantly degrades.
High-visibility colour appears faded
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or improper washing (e.g., using bleach) can cause fading. Follow the recommended care instructions strictly to maintain colour and reflectivity.
