Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The primary purpose is to enhance wearer visibility in environments where safety is paramount, such as construction sites, roadwork, or logistics, while also providing a layer of warmth.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, this jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed for visibility and light insulation.

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring it is designed to make the wearer conspicuous. The class of certification (Class 2 or 3) depends on the size of the garment and the amount of fluorescent and retroreflective material.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

As a microfleece, it offers some insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over warmer base layers and under a heavier, insulated outer jacket.

How do I ensure the reflective strips last?

Follow the care instructions carefully: wash at 40°C, tumble dry low, and do not bleach or dry clean. Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape.

What sizes are available?

This model is available in a range of sizes from XS to 3XL.

Can the elastic in the hem and cuffs be adjusted?

The hem features an internal elastic band for adjustment, and the cuffs have integrated elastic to provide a snug fit.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility of reflective tape

Ensure reflective tapes are not excessively worn or damaged. Follow the care instructions precisely, avoiding harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small application of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.

Fleece material pilling or losing softness

Ensure washing is done at the recommended temperature and avoid overcrowding the washing machine. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect fleece fibers.

Inconsistent fit

Refer to the sizing chart and ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. Note that the women's cut is specific, so try it on to confirm comfort and fit.
