Yes, the holster pockets are zip-off for added versatility. You can remove them if you prefer a less bulky fit or do not need the extra storage.
These trousers feature pre-bent, top-loading knee pad pockets designed to accept most standard workwear knee pads. Ensure the pads fit snugly for optimal protection and comfort.
The HiVisTex Pro segmented reflective tape is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards and is designed to withstand at least 25 washes while maintaining its reflectivity.
The trousers feature a PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco fabric finish, making them water-resistant, meaning water beads away. They are not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged heavy rain conditions.
The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which means it blocks 98% of UV rays, offering excellent protection against sun exposure.
The trousers feature a high-rise back waistband with side elastication for comfort. Refer to the Portwest sizing guide to select the most accurate waist size. The FlexiHem™ adjuster also allows for securing the hem at the ankle.
The lightweight design and laser-cut ventilation make them comfortable for warmer weather. For colder conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
Ensure washing instructions (low heat tumble dry, no bleach, correct temperature) have been followed. Harsh chemicals or excessive heat can degrade the tape. If damage is severe, replacement may be necessary.
The Texpel Splash finish is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. The finish may also diminish over time; reapplication of a suitable fabric protector may be required.
Ensure zippers are clean and free from debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil. Avoid forcing zippers, as this can cause damage.
Ensure you are using compatible knee pads designed for this type of pocket. Check that the pads are inserted correctly and that the pocket flap or closure mechanism is properly secured.
Setup: These trousers require no assembly. For optimal fit, ensure you select the correct waist size. Knee pads are sold separately and should be inserted into the designated top-loading pockets from the outside. The holster pockets can be detached by unzipping them if not needed.
Compatibility: The trousers are compatible with most standard knee pads designed for workwear. The inner boot clip is designed to secure to most work boots, preventing the trouser leg from riding up.
Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of the fabric, especially the Hi-Vis features and water repellency, follow these care instructions:
