Full details
This Blaklader knitted jacket is designed for women seeking a stylish and functional hi-vis garment for both work and leisure. Its key benefit is enhanced visibility with a comfortable, breathable fit due to contoured reflectors.

FAQs
What is the main material of this jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester, a heavy knit fabric that is brushed on one side and weighs 380 g/m².
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
While the knit fabric offers some warmth, this jacket is primarily designed for visibility and comfort in moderate conditions. It is not heavily insulated and may not provide sufficient warmth in extreme cold without additional layers.
What does EN ISO 20471 Class 2 mean?
This certification indicates the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing. Class 2 signifies a medium level of visibility, suitable for many work environments but potentially not for the highest-risk situations which may require Class 3.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its visibility?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the performance of the reflective material.
Does the hood offer adjustable features?
The jacket features a fixed hood. It does not have adjustable drawstrings or closures mentioned in the product description.
What kind of closure does the jacket have?
The jacket features a two-way plastic zipper at the front, which is fitted with a small fleece-lined flap for added comfort.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This guide specifically covers the Yellow, Striped, Size M variant. Other sizes are available. Please check the product listing for other size options. The color is typically yellow with a striped pattern as described.
Troubleshooting
Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, particularly regarding temperature and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Minor peeling might be re-adhered with careful ironing on a low setting, but significant damage may require replacement.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper up and down. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax.
Jacket feels less visible after several washes.
This can be a natural degradation of reflective materials over time. Adhere strictly to the care instructions, as improper washing accelerates this process. If visibility is critically compromised, consider replacing the garment.
Fit is not as expected.
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Blaklader. Ensure the correct size (e.g., M, L, XL) was selected. The women's cut is designed for a specific fit; consider if a different size or style might better suit individual preferences.
