FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471 Class 2 mean?
EN ISO 20471 Class 2 is a European standard for high-visibility clothing. It certifies that the garment meets specific requirements for background material and reflective tape to ensure the wearer is clearly visible in various light and weather conditions, particularly for workers in lower-risk environments compared to Class 3.
Are knee pads included with the pants?
No, knee pads are not included with the Helly Hansen Workwear UC-ME Work Pant Class 2. The pants feature internal pockets designed to accept compatible knee pads, which can be purchased separately.
How do I adjust the leg length?
The pants have an internal hem that allows for an increase in leg length by approximately 5 cm. This is typically adjusted by unfolding or modifying the existing hem construction, often requiring basic sewing skills if a permanent alteration is desired.
Can I wash these pants with other laundry?
It is recommended to wash these pants according to the specific care instructions provided (warm water, 60°C max, 20 washes). Washing with other garments, especially those with zippers or rough textures, could potentially damage the fabric or reflective elements. Use similar colors for washing.
What type of fasteners are used on the pockets?
The thigh pocket features a fastener closure, typically a Velcro or snap system, designed for secure but accessible storage. The buttons on the pant are plastic-covered metal.
Is this pant suitable for all types of work environments?
These pants are best suited for work environments where high visibility is a safety requirement, such as construction, road work, or logistics. While durable and comfortable, they may be overkill for office or low-risk indoor settings.
What is the expected lifespan of the high-visibility features?
The high-visibility features, including reflective stripes, are designed to last for the specified number of washes, which is 20 for this garment. After 20 washes, the performance may decrease, and replacement might be considered for continued safety compliance.
Troubleshooting
Visibility seems reduced after washing.
Ensure you followed the washing instructions precisely, especially regarding water temperature and detergent type. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive washing cycles that can degrade reflective materials.
Knee pads do not stay in place.
Adjust the position of the knee pads within the internal pocket. Ensure the knee pad size is appropriate for the pocket. Some models offer multiple adjustment points within the pocket itself.
Pant feels restrictive during specific movements.
Verify that the correct size has been chosen. Confirm that the crotch gusset and articulated knees are not obstructed. Ensure knee pads are correctly positioned and not causing undue tension.
Fastener on thigh pocket is difficult to close.
Check for any debris caught in the fastener. Gently clean the fastener with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the fastener if it feels stuck.
