Product Information

Full details

The Portwest EV442 Hi-Vis Stretch Holster Trouser is designed for adult males working in environments requiring high visibility and extensive movement. Its key benefit is the combination of 4-way stretch fabric, targeted ventilation, and 17 pockets for optimal comfort and utility. A potential caveat is that its class 1 certification may not meet all high-risk site requirements without additional compliant garments.

FAQs

What is the hi-vis certification of these trousers?

The trousers are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 1. They are also certified to EN 14404: 2004 + A1: 2010 Type 2 Level 0 when used in combination with the Portwest S156 knee pads.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The EV442 trousers feature a total of 17 pockets, including zip-off holster pockets, phone pocket, rule pocket, and knee pad pockets.

What material are the trousers made from?

The shell fabric is Titanmill Ultra Stretch, composed of 92% Nylon and 8% Elastane (230g). The lining fabric is CorePro Armour (72% Nylon, 16% Polyester, 12% PU, 260g), and contrast fabric is Titanmill Pro Ripstop Stretch.

Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?

Yes, the trousers feature laser-cut ventilation holes and are made from a breathable stretch fabric, designed to keep you cool during strenuous activity.

How should I wash and care for these trousers?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Wash inside out. The hi-vis properties are guaranteed for 25 washes.

Are the holster pockets removable?

Yes, the holster pockets are zip-off, offering versatility and the option to wear the trousers without them if preferred.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

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

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after multiple washes

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. The trousers are certified to retain Class 1 compliance for 25 washes when cared for correctly.

Knee pads not staying in place

Ensure you are using compatible knee pads (e.g., Portwest S156) and that they are correctly inserted into the top-loading pockets. Adjust the pocket if necessary.

Zipper malfunction

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to maneuver the slider. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Trousers feel restrictive

Verify the correct size has been selected. Ensure the side elastication is properly positioned. The stretch crotch gusset and 4-way stretch fabric should provide ample room.
