FAQs

Are the holster pockets detachable?

Yes, the holster pockets are zip-off, offering versatility in how you carry your tools and gear.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing guide and measure your waist. The side elastication offers some adjustability, but choosing the correct initial size is crucial for comfort and performance.

Can I wear knee pads with these trousers?

Yes, the trousers feature top-loading, adjustable knee pad pockets designed for easy insertion and secure fit of compatible knee pads.

What is the UPF rating?

The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, which means it blocks 98% of harmful UV rays.

How durable are the reflective elements?

The trousers are certified to EN ISO 20471 standards after 25 washes, indicating good durability of the reflective tape under normal washing conditions.

Are these trousers completely waterproof?

The trousers feature a PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco finish, making them water-resistant, meaning water beads off the surface. They are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Reduced Visibility after Washing

Ensure the reflective tape is cleaned according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the reflective properties over time. Check the certification details for expected performance after 25 washes.

Uncomfortable Fit

Verify that the correct size has been selected. Adjust the side elastication at the waistband. Ensure knee pads, if used, are correctly positioned and do not impede movement.

Water Not Beading Effectively

The Texpel Splash Eco finish provides water resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. The finish may diminish over time with extensive wear and washing; re-application of a suitable fabric protector may help.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Holster pockets are zip-off, which may be less convenient for some users.
  • Primarily designed for male fit, potentially limiting options for other genders.
  • While water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain exposure.
