FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

These trousers are designed for waterproof and breathable protection. For extreme cold, they may need to be layered with thermal base layers. The elevated padded back panel does offer some additional warmth for the lower back.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Please refer to the Portwest size guide available for this product. It typically provides measurements for waist and inside leg to help you find the best fit.

Can I wear these for activities other than work?

While designed for work, their waterproof and breathable features make them suitable for any outdoor activity in wet conditions, such as hiking or fishing, provided the fit is comfortable for your needs.

What does 'WP 10,000mm' mean?

WP stands for 'Waterproof'. 10,000mm indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 10,000 millimeters high before it starts to leak through.

What does 'MVP 10,000g/M²/24hr' mean?

MVP stands for 'Moisture Vapor Permeability'. This rating indicates how much water vapor can pass through the fabric over a 24-hour period, measured in grams per square meter. A higher MVP means better breathability.

Are the knee pad pockets included with the trousers?

The trousers feature external pockets designed to facilitate knee pads. Knee pads themselves are typically sold separately and need to be purchased to use this feature.

How durable is the '300D Oxford Weave' fabric?

The 300D Oxford Weave fabric is known for its robustness and resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for demanding work environments. The Double PU Coating adds further protection and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel wet on the inside.

Ensure the fabric's breathability is not compromised. Check care label for proper washing; excessive detergent or fabric softener can affect performance. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Inspect for damage to the fabric, seams, or coating. The PU coating may be degrading if the garment is old or has been improperly cared for. Consider re-waterproofing treatments if advised by the manufacturer, but note that this may affect breathability.

Zips are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the zips with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zip teeth for smoother operation. Avoid forcing the zip.

Waistband has lost elasticity.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to instructions. Elastic can degrade over time with excessive heat or harsh chemicals. There is no repair for lost elasticity.
