FAQs
What is the main purpose of these rain trousers?
The main purpose is to provide high-visibility, waterproof, and windproof protection for individuals working in demanding, extreme weather conditions, ensuring they stay dry and visible.
Are these trousers suitable for all types of weather?
They are excellent for rain and wind. While they offer wind protection, they are not insulated for extreme cold and should be worn with appropriate thermal layers underneath if necessary.
How durable are the reinforced areas?
The knees and the lower back of the trouser leg are reinforced to withstand abrasion and wear from typical work activities, increasing the overall lifespan of the trousers in demanding environments.
What does EN ISO 20471 Class 2 mean?
This certification indicates that the trousers provide a significant level of high visibility, making the wearer more conspicuous to others, particularly in potentially hazardous work environments.
Can I machine dry these trousers?
No, tumble drying is not recommended. The care instructions specify to do not tumble dry. Air drying is the preferred method to maintain the fabric's integrity and waterproof properties.
What materials are used in the construction?
The main material is 100% polyester, specifically a blend of 84% PVC and 16% PU, which provides windproof, waterproof, and breathable qualities.
How many times can I wash these trousers?
The trousers are certified for 25 washes at 40 degrees Celsius. Exceeding this number may compromise the waterproof and reflective properties.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel stiff after washing.
This can occur with repeated washing. Ensure you are adhering to the 40°C wash limit and not exceeding 25 wash cycles. Air drying without direct heat will help preserve fabric flexibility.
Water seeping through seams.
While designed with welded seams, prolonged submersion or extreme pressure could eventually compromise integrity. Check if the 25-wash cycle limit has been reached. For minor breaches, professional seam sealing might be an option, but replacement is recommended if significant.
Reflective tape peeling.
Avoid high heat during washing or drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. Gentle washing and air drying are crucial for maintaining the tape's adhesion.
Fit is too tight over work clothes.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. These trousers are designed to be worn over regular work attire, so consider sizing up if your base layers are particularly bulky. Adjust the elastic waist and leg buttons for maximum comfort.
