FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

These trousers are designed for waterproofness and breathability. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers and insulated mid-layers is recommended to achieve full cold-weather protection.

How long does the waterproof and breathable performance last?

The performance is dependent on care and usage. The waterproof and breathable membrane is durable, and the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish can be replenished with appropriate aftercare products to maintain water repellency.

Can I wear these for activities other than work?

While designed for professional use, they are excellent for any outdoor activity requiring waterproof protection and high visibility, such as hiking, cycling, or fishing in wet conditions.

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification ensures the garment meets strict standards for high-visibility clothing, guaranteeing specific levels of fluorescent and retroreflective material to make the wearer conspicuous.

How should I clean the trousers to preserve their features?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning to protect the fabric's integrity and waterproof coating.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the trousers feature a PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional DWR treatments.

What are the pass-through pockets for?

The side pass-through pockets allow you to access the pockets of clothing worn underneath without exposing your hands to the elements, offering convenience and maintaining warmth.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp on the inside.

This could be due to insufficient breathability from heavy exertion or a build-up of internal moisture. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog pores. Check that you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Inspect seams and fabric for damage. While the fabric is waterproof, prolonged immersion or significant damage could compromise protection. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if water is no longer beading effectively on the surface. Ensure zippers and fastenings are closed.

Reflective tape appears to be peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat when washing or drying, and do not dry clean. If minor peeling occurs, carefully iron on a low setting over a protective cloth. Significant damage may require replacement of the garment.

Fit is uncomfortable or too loose/tight.

Adjust the drawcord waist for a snugger or looser fit. Utilize the side zip leg openings to ensure they fit comfortably over your footwear. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size.

Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties and the reflective tape's integrity:

  • Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat.
  • Iron on a low heat setting.
  • Do not dry clean.
  • Wash inside out. Close zippers and fastenings before washing. Wash with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
