FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these rain trousers?
The primary purpose is to provide high-visibility, waterproof, and windproof protection for professionals working in harsh weather conditions, designed to be worn over regular work clothes.
Are these trousers insulated for cold weather?
These trousers are designed primarily for weather protection (rain and wind) and are not heavily insulated. They are intended to be worn over other garments, allowing the wearer to layer for warmth as needed.
How do I determine the correct size?
The trousers are designed to fit over existing work clothes. It is recommended to consult the Blaklader size chart and consider the layers you typically wear underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wear these trousers without other work clothes underneath?
While possible, they are designed with a fit and features (like reinforced knees) intended for use over work trousers. Wearing them alone might result in a looser fit than intended.
What do EN 343 and EN ISO 20471 certifications mean?
EN 343 certifies protective clothing against bad weather (rain, wind, cold), with Class 3.1 indicating high protection levels. EN ISO 20471 specifies requirements for high-visibility clothing, with Class 2 indicating a good level of visibility for workers near roads or in environments with fast-moving traffic.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Do not bleach or iron. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Regular cleaning helps maintain breathability and performance.
What kind of tools can I carry in the pockets?
The trousers feature a bellows pocket suitable for larger items and a dedicated folding rule pocket with a knife holder. These are designed for common work tools like measuring tapes, knives, and possibly smaller hand tools.
Troubleshooting
Trousers are leaking water.
Ensure all seams are intact and that the waterproof coating is not damaged. Check that leg hems and waist are properly adjusted. Re-evaluate care instructions, as improper washing can affect performance.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape. If damage is minor, consider using a fabric repair tape designed for outdoor gear. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
Reduced breathability or clammy feeling inside.
Ensure the garment is clean. Residue from detergents or body oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions without fabric softener. Check for blockages in ventilation if applicable.
Difficult to put on/take off over boots.
Utilize the adjustable leg buttons to their maximum opening. Ensure you are wearing appropriate footwear that allows for easier sliding. The bellows pocket design aims to provide ample room.
