Portwest Hi-Vis Classic Contrast Rain Trouser - Orange

The primary purpose is to provide protection from rain and wind while ensuring high visibility for the wearer in outdoor work environments.

These trousers are designed for weather protection (water and wind resistance) rather than thermal insulation. For very cold weather, layering warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Refer to the size chart provided by Portwest. The trousers feature an elasticated waistband and stud adjustable hems, offering some flexibility in fit. Measure your waist and inseam according to the chart.

Yes, they can be machine washed with like colours. However, avoid tumble drying; air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and waterproof coating.

The UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure during outdoor work.

The contrast panels, typically found on the lower legs or pockets, are designed to conceal dirt and reduce its visual impact, helping the trousers maintain a cleaner appearance in work environments.

They meet several standards, including ANSI/ISEA 107 SUPPLEMENTAL CLASS A, EAS/NZS 1906.4, AS 4399 UPF 50+, and EN 343:2019 Class 3:1 X WP 5,000mm, EN ISO 20471 Class 1.

Ensure the taped seams are intact and not peeling. If damage is present, the waterproofing may be compromised. Hand wash gently and air dry only.

Adjust the stud hems for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size, allowing enough room for movement over base layers if needed.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, try gently pressing it back with a warm iron on a low setting with a protective cloth, but avoid direct contact. For significant damage, the visibility rating may be affected.

The waistband is designed for comfort and a range of fits. For a tighter fit, consider using a belt. If excessively loose, the garment may not be the correct size for your waist.
