FAQs

What does 'Multi Norm' mean for these trousers?

'Multi Norm' indicates that the trousers comply with a range of different international safety standards, offering protection against various hazards such as flame, heat, electric arc, and chemical splashes.

Can the bib be worn without the trousers part?

No, the zip-off back allows the bib to be completely removed, converting the garment into trousers. The bib cannot be worn independently.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

The trousers are lined with FR cotton for warmth, making them suitable for cooler conditions. However, for extreme cold, layering with additional thermal base layers may be necessary.

How do I know if I've selected the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart and measure your waist and inseam accurately. The size given (e.g., 38) refers to the waist size in inches.

What is the main advantage of the Modaflame Rain fabric?

The Modaflame Rain fabric provides both flame resistance and waterproof breathability, along with protection against arc flash and other thermal hazards, making it highly versatile for hazardous environments.

Can I wash these trousers in a standard washing machine?

Yes, they can be washed in a standard washing machine at 40°C with a mild soap, following the specific care instructions to preserve their protective properties.

Are these trousers visible enough for road work?

Yes, the trousers are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and RIS-3279-TOM Issue 1 (Orange Only), featuring premium FR reflective tape for high visibility.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency after washing

Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment for technical fabrics after washing and drying, following the product's instructions. Ensure no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used.

Reflective tape peeling or cracking

Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape. Ensure proper washing and drying procedures are followed as per the care label. If damage is significant, consider replacement for full effectiveness.

Seams appear to be leaking water

Check if the seams are taped. If they are, and leakage persists, it might indicate damage to the tape. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for inspection or repair options.

Fit is uncomfortable

Adjust the shoulder straps to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the correct size was selected based on measurements.
