FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
No, these are waterproof over-trousers designed to be worn over existing workwear. They provide protection from the elements but do not offer significant insulation.
What is the material composition?
The main material is 100% polyester, with a coating of 84% PVC and 16% PU, making it wind- and waterproof.
Can I wear these directly against my skin?
While possible, they are designed to be worn over other work clothes. Wearing them directly may cause discomfort due to the material's properties and intended fit.
How do I ensure the high-visibility features remain effective?
Follow the recommended care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the reflective material and the fabric's waterproof coating.
What does 'Level 3' refer to?
'Level 3' in this context typically refers to the garment's performance rating in specific standards, such as EN 343 for protection against rain. In this case, it is certified to EN 343 Class 3.1.
How do the adjustable leg bottoms work?
The leg bottoms have adjustable buttons, allowing you to cinch them for a closer fit around boots, preventing water and wind from entering.
What certifications do these trousers meet?
They are certified to EN 343, protective clothing against bad weather (Class 3.1), and EN ISO 20471, protective clothing with high visibility (Class 2).
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The trousers are designed to be worn over regular work clothes, so avoid layering too many thick garments underneath. Adjust the waist and leg openings for optimal fit.
Water is seeping through.
Check that all seams are properly welded. If damage is suspected, consider repair or replacement. Ensure all pocket flaps are closed and the leg openings are secured.
Reduced visibility of reflective tape.
Clean the reflective tape gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the tape. Ensure the tape is not covered by other garments or equipment.
