FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

The S595 trousers offer excellent waterproofing and windproofing, making them ideal for harsh weather. For extreme cold, they are best layered over thermal base layers for added insulation.

How do I ensure the high visibility remains effective?

The reflective tape is certified for 50 washes. Adhering to the recommended washing instructions will help maintain its reflectivity. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Can I wear these over my regular work trousers?

Yes, these trousers are designed as overtrousers and can be comfortably worn over standard work pants. Adjusting the leg openings can help accommodate different types of footwear and trousers.

What does 'PFAS free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish' mean?

This means the water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are considered environmentally persistent chemicals. It ensures water beads off effectively while being more eco-conscious.

What is the RIS 3279-TOM certification for?

This is a specific standard for high-visibility clothing required for the UK rail industry, ensuring the orange color and fluorescent properties meet their stringent safety requirements.

How durable are the zippers on the leg openings?

The zippers are designed for practical use and accessibility. It is recommended to keep them clean and free from debris to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

What is the warranty period for these trousers?

Please refer to the Portwest official website or the point of purchase for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are no longer beading water effectively.

The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish may have diminished. Reapply a suitable PFAS-free water repellent spray suitable for technical outdoor fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Water appears to be leaking through seams.

Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is suspected after prolonged use, professional seam sealing or replacement may be necessary. Check that taped seams are not peeling.

Fit is uncomfortable or restrictive.

Adjust the drawcord waistband and utilize the side zip leg openings for a more personalized fit. Ensure the correct size was selected based on measurements.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from debris that could block vents. Check that the garment has not been compromised by harsh chemicals during washing. Allow the garment to air out completely.
