FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these rain trousers?

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

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

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.

How do I determine the correct size?

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.

Can these trousers be machine washed?

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.

What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?

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.

What are the contrast panels for?

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.

What standards do these trousers meet?

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.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

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.

Trousers feel restrictive.

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.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

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.

Elasticated waistband is too loose or too tight.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against rain and wind.
  • High visibility enhances worker safety.
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable elements.
  • Durable construction for demanding environments.
  • Provides UV protection.

Cons

  • Fit can be inconsistent due to the elasticated waist.
  • Limited breathability might cause discomfort during strenuous activity.
  • Contrast panels, while practical for dirt, might reduce overall hi-vis coverage in certain areas.
  • Primarily designed for weather protection, not thermal insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: Designed for general outdoor workwear. They can be layered over existing work trousers for added weather protection. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and freedom of movement.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Wash with like colours. Use a mild detergent and a cool or warm water setting.
  2. Drying: It is recommended to air dry the trousers. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the PVC coating and taped seams.
  3. Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Spot clean any heavy stains with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check seams and reflective tape for any signs of wear or damage to ensure continued effectiveness.
