Product Information
Full details
The Pulsar Interactive Body Warmer is designed for adult professionals requiring high visibility and versatile protection. Its key benefit is dual-sided wear, offering hi-vis protection on one side and a comfortable grey microfibre lining on the other, with detachable sleeves for adaptability. A potential caveat is that it may run large for some users, so checking the size guide is recommended.

FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
The body warmer is made from PU coated Polyester, which offers water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. The pockets on the hi-vis side have waterproof zips for extra protection.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Pulsar sizing chart for detailed measurements. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare with the chart, as the fit can be generous.
Can the body warmer be worn in very cold weather?
The grey side offers a padded lining for warmth, but for extreme cold, it is best used as a mid-layer with additional insulated outerwear.
What is the 'Anchorage fastening' for?
The Anchorage points are designed to attach to compatible outer garments, such as certain Pulsar jackets, to create a secure, layered system that prevents garments from riding up.
How should I clean the reflective tape?
Clean the reflective tape gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the reflective surface.
Can I remove the sleeves myself?
Yes, the sleeves are designed to be detachable via a full-length YKK interactive zip. Ensure the zip is fully unfastened before attempting to remove the sleeves.
What material is the hi-vis side made from?
The hi-vis side is made from 300 Denier breathable PU coated Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure there are no fabric snags in the zip track. Clean the zip track with a soft brush. Lubricate the zip with a graphite pencil or wax if necessary.
ID window is not staying closed.
Gently press the edges of the window to ensure it lies flat. If the material is creased, allow it to hang for a period to smooth out.
Waterproof pocket zipper is stiff.
Ensure the pocket is dry and clean. Gently flex the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth.
Detachable sleeves are difficult to remove.
Ensure the zip is fully clear of any fabric. Pull the zip smoothly and evenly. If stuck, check for obstructions.
