FAQs
Are these pants suitable for all weather conditions?
These pants are made from heavy-duty polyester, offering durability and some protection. While suitable for various conditions, they are not waterproof. For extreme cold, layering might be necessary.
Can I adjust the length of the pants?
Yes, the leg length can be increased by approximately 5cm. This is typically done via an internal hem that can be let down.
What is the Class 2 rating?
The EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 rating indicates a medium level of visibility. This is generally suitable for workers who are not in the highest risk environments but still need to be clearly seen by vehicle operators.
How do I clean the reflective stripes?
The reflective stripes are integrated into the fabric. Proper washing according to the care instructions (60°C max, no bleach, no tumble dry, no iron) will help preserve them. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the stripes.
What type of knee pads are compatible?
The pants feature internal knee pad pockets designed to fit most standard-sized workwear knee pads. The position is adjustable for optimal comfort.
Are these pants available in other colors?
This specific model, the UC-ME Work Pant Class 2, is primarily designed for high visibility and is typically available in fluorescent orange. Other models may offer different color options.
What is the warranty on these work pants?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is best obtained from the retailer or Helly Hansen directly, as warranty terms can vary.
Troubleshooting
Reduced visibility after washing
Ensure washing was done at the recommended temperature (60°C max) and that bleach or aggressive detergents were not used. Avoid high-heat drying or ironing, which can damage reflective elements.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Ensure the knee pads are the correct size for the pocket. Adjust the position of the knee pad within the pocket to find a secure fit. Some knee pads may have straps that can be adjusted.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can be a characteristic of heavy-duty workwear. Ensure you are using the correct wash cycle and temperature. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impact breathability and material performance. Air drying should help restore some flexibility.
Pockets feel insecure
Ensure the fastener closures on the thigh pockets are properly secured. If the fastener is damaged, it may require repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These work pants require no initial setup beyond ensuring the correct size is selected. If using knee pads, they are inserted from the inside of the leg into the designated pockets. The position of these knee pads can be adjusted within the pocket for optimal comfort and protection.
Compatibility: The pants are designed to accommodate standard work boots. The knee pad pockets are compatible with most common knee pad inserts designed for workwear. They are designed for male adult workers but are available in unisex sizing for broader compatibility.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and high-visibility properties of the Helly Hansen Workwear UC-ME Work Pant Class 2:
- Machine wash in warm water (maximum 60°C).
- Do not bleach.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Do not iron.
- Do not dry clean.
Following these instructions is crucial for preserving the reflective properties and the durability of the fabric. Frequent washing at high temperatures or improper drying can degrade the materials and reduce visibility.
