Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the 3-layer soft-touch fabric is designed for maximum wearer comfort, making them suitable for extended use in various weather conditions. The breathable nature helps manage moisture during activity.

How do I ensure the highest visibility?

The trousers meet EN ISO 20471 standards with reflective tape. Ensure the trousers are clean and free from excessive dirt or damage to maintain optimal reflectivity.

What does PFAS-free mean for this product?

PFAS-free means the water-repellent finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often used for waterproofing but can have environmental concerns. This finish still provides effective water beading.

Can I wear these in warmer weather?

While breathable, they are primarily designed for wet and windy conditions. In very warm, dry weather, they might feel too warm due to their waterproof construction.

What is the benefit of the side zip leg opening?

The side zip allows for easier donning and doffing of the trousers, especially over work boots, and can also be used to adjust ventilation.

Are these trousers compliant with rail industry standards?

Yes, the orange variant complies with RIS 3279-TOM, which is a specific standard for the UK rail industry.

How should I wash these trousers to preserve their performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, tumble dry on low or air dry, and avoid fabric softeners. Washing inside out helps protect the reflective tape.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are not fully waterproof

Ensure all zippers are closed and check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the fabric's water-beading ability has diminished significantly after washing.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy

Ensure the inner layers of clothing are also breathable and moisture-wicking. Clean the trousers as per care instructions; residue from detergents or dirt can impair breathability.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged

Avoid harsh washing or excessive heat during drying. While minor damage can occur with wear, significant damage may compromise visibility; consider replacement if safety is affected.

Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose

Adjust the drawcord and elasticated waistband. Ensure the correct size was selected initially, referring to the size chart. Side zip leg openings can aid in comfort adjustment.

Compatibility: These trousers are designed as outerwear and are compatible with various types of work footwear and safety gear. They comply with EN ISO 20471 and RIS 3279-TOM (orange only) standards, making them suitable for industries requiring high-visibility clothing.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the trousers:

  1. Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent.
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry.
  4. Iron on a low heat setting if necessary.
  5. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's breathability and water-repellent properties.
  6. Follow the care label instructions precisely. Wash inside out to protect the reflective elements.
