FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for all-day wear in heavy rain?

Yes, the extremely water-resistant fabric and taped seams are designed for prolonged exposure to rain. The breathability may be limited compared to specialized waterproof/breathable garments, but they offer excellent protection.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Utilize the fully elasticated waistband for comfort and adjust the stud fasteners at the hems for a secure fit around your footwear.

Can I wash these trousers in a washing machine?

Yes, but always use a mild process at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing to preserve the fabric's performance and reflective elements.

What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?

The trousers have a 40+ UPF rating, which means the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

How many washes can these trousers withstand?

The product is certified to EN ISO 20471 standards after 50 washes, indicating that its high-visibility properties are maintained up to this limit. It is recommended not to exceed 50 washes for optimal performance.

What does 'side access' mean?

Side access refers to openings on the sides of the trousers, usually near the pockets, allowing you to easily reach items in pockets of the garments worn underneath without having to remove the trousers.

Are these trousers a standalone waterproof garment or an over-trouser?

These are designed as over-trousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other clothing for added protection against water and to enhance visibility.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure the seams are properly taped and the fabric has not been damaged. Check the care label; excessive washing or improper cleaning can degrade water resistance. Maximum 50 washes are recommended.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. If damage is significant, the visibility may be compromised.

Trousers feel restrictive.

Ensure the elasticated waistband is functioning correctly and the stud hems are adjusted for a comfortable fit. These are designed as over-trousers, so ensure adequate space over base layers.

Dirt is accumulating on contrast panels.

Wipe down with a damp cloth after use. For heavier soiling, follow the recommended washing instructions carefully.
