Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

The trousers are designed for waterproof and breathable comfort in various weather conditions. For extreme cold, layering with insulated base layers underneath is recommended.

How durable are the trousers against abrasions?

The trousers are constructed with durable polyester stretch fabric and twin-stitched seams for enhanced longevity. However, prolonged exposure to highly abrasive surfaces may cause wear.

Can I wear these over my regular work trousers?

Yes, the design and side zip leg openings allow for comfortable layering over existing work trousers for added protection from the elements.

What does 'PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco' mean?

It means the water-repellent finish is free from PFAS chemicals, which are considered harmful. This finish helps water bead off the fabric surface, keeping you drier.

How often should I wash the trousers?

Wash only when necessary to maintain the waterproof and breathable performance. Frequent washing, especially with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, can degrade the fabric's properties.

Do the trousers meet safety standards for railway work?

The trousers are certified to EN ISO 20471. They comply with RIS 3279-TOM for rail industry standards, specifically for the orange color. Please verify if the yellow version meets your specific site requirements if RIS 3279-TOM compliance is mandatory for yellow.

What is the fit like?

The trousers feature a unisex fit with a fully elasticated waistband and a drawcord for adjustability, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for most adults.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are leaking water.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. Check for any damage to the fabric or taped seams. Re-wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy.

Wash the trousers according to care instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure the inside is not clogged with dirt or debris. Check that the garment is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during drying and ironing. If damage has occurred, the reflective function is compromised. Consider professional repair if possible, or replacement if safety is paramount.

Waistband is not secure.

Tighten the internal drawcord to secure the fit. Ensure the elastic is not overly stretched or damaged. If the elastic has failed, repair may be necessary.
