Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require no initial setup beyond adjusting to your waist size using the side elastication. Knee pads, if desired, can be inserted into the top-loading, adjustable pockets.
Compatibility: The trousers are designed to be compatible with most standard work boots. The inner boot clip helps secure the trouser hem to your footwear, preventing them from riding up. They are also compatible with various work garments, but the gripper elasticated inner waist is particularly effective at keeping shirts tucked in.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the EV442 trousers:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
- Ironing: Iron at a medium temperature, maximum 150°C (300°F).
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Maintenance: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the water-repellent finish and affect the reflective tape. Wash inside out to protect the reflective elements. Ensure the PFAS free Texpel Splash Eco finish is maintained by following washing instructions. The garment is certified to EN ISO 20471 after 25 washes, so regular washing within these parameters is recommended to maintain safety standards.
