FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof or just water-resistant?

These trousers are fully waterproof due to welded seams and the Sealtex Classic fabric's PU coating. The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish enhances their water-repellent properties.

What does PFAS-free mean for the fabric finish?

PFAS-free means the fabric finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are common in some water-repellent treatments but are being phased out due to environmental concerns. This finish still provides effective water repellency.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Portwest, paying close attention to the waist measurements. The trousers have a generous fit for comfort, so ensure your waist measurement corresponds to the intended size. The elasticated waist offers some flexibility.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

While they provide excellent protection from water, these trousers are not designed for high breathability. They may become warm in very hot conditions. They are best suited for cooler, wet weather or environments where water protection is the priority.

How durable is the material?

The Sealtex Classic 100% Polyester Tricot with a PU coating is designed to be durable and stretchy, suitable for demanding work environments. The wipe-clean finish also contributes to its longevity.

What is the purpose of the stud-adjustable hem?

The stud-adjustable hem allows you to secure the bottom of the trousers around your work boots. This prevents water, mud, and debris from entering the top of your boots and keeps the trousers from dragging.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are properly welded. If a seam appears damaged, it may compromise waterproofness. Contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Trousers feel damp inside

This could be due to perspiration. While the fabric offers excellent water repellency, it is not a highly breathable material. Ensure appropriate undergarments are worn for moisture management. Check that the hems are securely fastened to prevent external water entry.

Fabric appears less water repellent over time

Clean the trousers according to care instructions. The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish can be maintained with regular washing. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners that may degrade the finish.

Cons
