Custom Fire Dept Hoodie – Black Reflective Maltese Cross – Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend

Product Overview

The ultimate cold-weather layer for the fire service. Our Custom Black Reflective Fire Department Hoodie combines the warmth of the Gildan 18500 Heavy Blend with tactical safety technology. The Maltese Cross and department lettering appear as a professional, tonal black during the day, but reflect a brilliant white glow when hit by headlights, scene lights, or flashlights.

Designed to be worn over station shirts or under turnouts, this hoodie is the perfect balance of comfort, durability, and operational safety.

FAQ Section

Is the reflective material safe for high-heat fire station dryers? Yes. Our Black Reflective material is industrial-grade and heat-bonded. While we recommend washing inside out and tumble drying on low to extend the life of the reflection, it is built to handle the heavy-duty cycles of a station laundry room.

Can I order hoodies for my entire shift with different numbers? Absolutely. Because we have no minimums and no setup fees, you can easily customize each hoodie with a different unit number (e.g., Engine 1, Truck 5, Rescue 2) within the same order.

How "bright" is the black reflective print? In daylight, it looks like a sleek, dark charcoal or black print. At night, it utilizes retro-reflective beads to bounce light directly back to the source, making it appear as a bright, glowing white to anyone holding a light or driving a vehicle.
