Product Information
Full details
This PULSAR Sweatshirt in Orange is designed for adults seeking a warm, comfortable, and highly visible mid-layer. Its key benefit is the combination of eco-friendly recycled polyester with high-visibility safety features, making it ideal for work environments or outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its specific class rating, which may not suit all high-visibility requirements. This versatile garment offers extra-soft comfort thanks to its brushed inner lining and smooth face fabric, featuring a chin guard, reversed zip for a clean look, ribbed cuffs, and a C0 DWR finish for stain resistance.

FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 Class 3 mean?
This certification indicates the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing. Class 3 is the highest level of visibility, signifying that the garment has the maximum amount of fluorescent material and retroreflective tape, making the wearer most conspicuous.
Is this sweatshirt suitable for very cold weather?
This sweatshirt is designed as a mid-layer, providing good warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer and potentially under a heavier outer shell for optimal insulation.
How do I clean the sweatshirt to maintain its properties?
Machine wash warm (40°C) inside out with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Cool iron if needed, avoiding direct heat on reflective areas.
What is a C0 DWR finish?
C0 DWR stands for 'Coating, Durable Water Repellent, Zero' (meaning it's free of PFCs like PFOA and PFOS). It's an environmentally friendlier finish that provides resistance to water and stains.
Can I wear this sweatshirt for general use, not just work?
Yes, while it meets high-visibility safety standards, its comfortable design and recycled material make it a versatile and stylish option for casual wear, outdoor activities, or everyday use when extra warmth and visibility are desired.
How many times can I wash this sweatshirt?
The sweatshirt is certified to maintain its performance and visibility for up to 25 wash cycles when washed according to the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility of reflective tape
Ensure the tape is clean and free from dirt or residue. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can damage reflective elements. Re-evaluate if the garment has exceeded its certified wash cycles.
DWR finish is no longer effective
Wash the garment following care instructions. If effectiveness has not returned, consider applying a C0 DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for technical fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. If the zipper track is dirty, clean it gently with a soft brush. Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Shrinkage after washing
Ensure you are washing and drying according to the recommended temperature settings. Avoid high heat drying, as this is the most common cause of shrinkage in polyester garments.
