To obtain the certification, the entire manufacturing process and all components of a garment must meet high human ecological requirements. Many of our garments are Oeko-Tex certified, which means it is a guarantee that the garments do not contain substances that could be harmful to the wearer upon skin contact.
High-visibility class Garments are divided into classes depending on their visibility. Classification is mainly dependent on its conspicuity: the garment’ s fluorescent area and retro-reflective surface.
Class 3: Highest class. The total fluorescent area must be at least 0.8 m ² and the reflective strips 0.2 m 2.

A shell garment lets the body breathe and lets out excess moisture that would otherwise have a cooling effect.

Class 2: The total fluorescent area must be at least 0.5 m ² and the reflective strips 0.13 m ².
