Product Information

Full details

These Portwest Sealtex Classic Trousers are designed for adult males working outdoors who need reliable protection against water. Their key benefit is extreme waterproofness and durability at an exceptional value. A potential caveat is that their generous fit, while comfortable, might require careful sizing for those preferring a more tailored look. These trousers are constructed from lightweight, extremely waterproof polyester with a PU coating, featuring welded seams and a PFAS-free Texpel™ Splash Eco finish to repel water effectively. Essential features include a fully elasticated waistband for comfort and stud-adjustable hems for a secure fit over boots.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

These trousers are designed for waterproofness. While they offer a generous fit that can accommodate insulating layers, they are not inherently insulated. For very cold conditions, layering with thermal wear underneath is recommended.

How do I choose the right size?

The trousers have a generous fit for wearer comfort and to accommodate other clothing. Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for waist and leg measurements. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (e.g., if you want to wear bulky layers, size up).

Can I wear these for activities other than work?

Yes, they are suitable for any outdoor activity requiring waterproof protection, such as hiking, fishing, or gardening, where durability and water resistance are priorities.

What does 'PFAS free' mean for me?

PFAS-free means the fabric finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and potentially human health. This offers a more eco-conscious choice.

How durable is the 'wipe clean finish'?

The wipe clean finish refers to the surface of the fabric which can be easily wiped down. While the fabric itself is durable, the finish's effectiveness may diminish over time with extensive washing or abrasive cleaning.

What is the waterproof rating?

The trousers meet EN 343 Class 3:1 standards, with a Water Penetration (WP) rating of 5,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproofness.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside after prolonged wear in heavy rain.

Ensure the stud-adjustable hems are securely fastened around boots to prevent water ingress from the bottom. Check that all seams are intact; if a seam appears damaged, it may compromise waterproofness.

Water is not beading off the fabric surface as effectively.

This indicates the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish may be wearing off. Clean the trousers according to care instructions. For improved performance, consider a re-waterproofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor garments.

The elastic waistband has lost its stretch.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as high temperatures can degrade elastic. Ensure proper care as per the instructions. If the elastic fails, repair or replacement may be necessary.

Studs on the hem are difficult to fasten.

Ensure the hem is clean and free of debris. Try fastening the studs without boots to check their function. If they are still stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant might help, applied carefully only to the stud mechanism.
