Safety warnings:

• The product is not intended for children – protective and work clothing is designed exclusively for adults, in sizes and construction tailored to the needs of employees.
• Packaging suffocation or choking hazard – foil or plastic packaging should be stored and disposed of out of reach of children.
• No protection against hazards other than those specified in the product documentation – clothing does not provide protection against fire, chemicals, electricity or radiation unless it is designed and certified for this purpose.
• Reflective clothing:
  • Reflective elements lose their effectiveness when they become dirty, wet, discolored or mechanically worn.
  • Use in conditions of limited visibility requires adequate lighting and a contrasting background.
  • Reflective elements must not be covered with other clothing or accessories.
• Clothing to protect against cold:
  • Provides protection only within the range specified in the EN 342 or EN 14058 standards – it does not guarantee safety at extremely low temperatures, below the manufacturer's parameters.
  • Layer your clothing as recommended to avoid the risk of hypothermia.
  • Getting winter clothing wet can significantly reduce its insulating properties.
• Rainwear:
  • Maintaining waterproofness depends on the correct fastening of all elements (zippers, Velcro, buttons, protective strips).
  • Mechanical damage, prolonged use or washing at high temperatures may reduce the level of water resistance.
  • Intense physical activity can cause moisture to accumulate inside clothing, requiring the use of breathable clothing or intermediate layers.
• Thermal underwear:
  • Does not provide protection against direct contact with chemical, thermal or mechanical factors.
  • The effectiveness of moisture wicking depends on the proper fit to the body.
  • Excessive stretching or damage to the material may reduce its performance properties.
• Maintenance and cleaning:
  • Failure to follow washing, drying or storage instructions may result in loss of protective properties.
  • The use of chemicals not recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. bleach, solvents) may permanently damage fabrics and protective elements.
• Clothing exchange:
  • Clothing that is worn, frayed, mechanically damaged or has visibly deteriorated reflective elements should be replaced immediately.
  • Regularly checking the condition of clothing is crucial to maintaining the user's safety.
