Dear customers and friends：
Field Notes on a Workhorse: HIGH VISIBILITY POLAR FLEECE JACKET
If you spend dawn-to-dusk outdoors—rail yards, logistics hubs, municipal crews—you learn quickly which hi-vis layers get grabbed first. This one does, a lot. It’s warm without being stuffy, and, to be honest, it resists that scratchy feel some fleece gets after a month on the road. Short Description: DM110, made in Shijiazhuang, China (14/F., Yisheng Building, No.68 West Heping Road). Actually, that origin matters for lead times and customization—which I’ll get to.
What’s trending and why it matters
- Shift to recycled polyester fleece (≈280–320 gsm) without sacrificing luminance.
- Segmented or heat-applied reflective tapes for better breathability and flex.
- Dual-standard labeling: EN ISO 20471 and ANSI/ISEA 107 on the same garment.
- Longer wash-life claims—25 cycles is the new baseline; some push 50 in real-world use (your mileage may vary).
At-a-glance specifications
| Model | DM110 HIGH VISIBILITY POLAR FLEECE JACKET |
| Fabric | 100% polyester polar fleece ≈300 gsm; anti-pilling, brushed both sides |
| Reflective | 5 cm retroreflective tape; glass-bead or TPU-segmented options |
| Colorways | Hi-vis Yellow, Hi-vis Orange, with optional navy contrast hem/cuffs |
| Closure & Pockets | Full front zipper; 2 zip hand pockets + 1 chest pocket (zip) |
| Standards | EN ISO 20471 Class 2/3 (layout dependent); ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 2/3 |
| Washing | Up to ≈25 cycles at 40°C (ISO 6330); colorfastness 4–5 (AATCC/ISO methods) |
| Service Life | Around 3 years under normal utility/logistics duty |
| Origin | Shijiazhuang, China (address above) |
How it’s made (the short version)
- Materials: dye-stable polyester yarn, anti-pilling fleece knit, selected reflective tape (Level 2 brightness).
- Cut & Sew: CAD pattern cutting; reinforced seams; bar-tacks on pocket stress points.
- Tape Application: heat-transfer or stitch-on per customer spec.
- Testing: chromaticity and luminance vs EN ISO 20471; retroreflection (R’); Martindale abrasion (ASTM/ISO); wash fastness (ISO 6330).
- QC & Packing: size-run audits, label/traceability, carton drop tests (around 76 cm).
Real-world performance
Internal lab snapshots show retroreflection ≈350 cd·lx⁻¹·m⁻² new and >150 after 25 washes on the HIGH VISIBILITY POLAR FLEECE JACKET with Level 2 tape. Breathability is decent for fleece; teams tell me the segmented tape option “feels less clammy” on night shifts. In fact, several highway crews said the zip chest pocket is a small but welcome touch for radios.
Where it fits
- Road maintenance, traffic control, rail & metro operations
- Warehouse, last-mile logistics, airport ramp
- Utilities (power/water), municipal parks
- Cold-but-active tasks where softshells feel overbuilt
Customization options
Heat-transfer logos, embroidery, ID windows; tape layout (360° torso + arm bands), contrasting panels, zip pulls, and size runs S–5XL. OEM cartons/labels available. MOQ and lead time are quite workable for seasonal rollouts.
Vendor snapshot (quick comparison)
| Criteria | Dellee DM110 | Portwest (typical fleece) | Ergodyne/Pyramex (typical) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabric weight | ≈300 gsm | 280–320 gsm | 250–300 gsm |
| Tape type | Glass-bead or segmented | Mostly glass-bead | Glass-bead; some segmented |
| Cert coverage | EN ISO 20471; ANSI/ISEA 107 | EN/ANSI (model dependent) | EN/ANSI (model dependent) |
| Lead time | ≈25–35 days (seasonal) | ≈30–45 days | ≈30–50 days |
| Customization | Strong OEM/ODM | Moderate | Moderate |
Quick case notes
Airport ramp crew (Nordics): Swapped softshell for the HIGH VISIBILITY POLAR FLEECE JACKET during shoulder seasons. Feedback: “warmer than expected, easier movement, radios sit better in chest pocket.”
Civic maintenance (U.S. Midwest): After 6 months, pilling stayed low; retroreflective still readable under LED floodlights. They kept the segmented tape for comfort.
Certs, tests, and the fine print
- Designed to meet EN ISO 20471 and ANSI/ISEA 107 visibility requirements (layout-dependent).
- Wash testing per ISO 6330; abrasion checks via ASTM/ISO Martindale.
- Material options available with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
