No, knee pads are not included. For EN 14404 certification, you must use compatible Portwest S156 knee pads, which are sold separately.
The 4-way stretch fabric allows for maximum freedom of movement in all directions, enhancing comfort and reducing strain during dynamic work activities.
The EV442 trousers feature a total of 17 pockets, offering extensive storage for tools, personal items, and work essentials.
To maintain the high-visibility properties, follow the washcare instructions carefully: machine wash at 40°C with mild liquid detergent, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron the reflective tape.
EN ISO 20471 Class 1 is a standard for high-visibility clothing. Class 1 offers the lowest level of visibility, suitable for situations where background visibility is high and risks are lower. The certification is maintained for up to 25 washes when cared for properly.
Yes, the holster pockets are zip-off, offering versatility. You can remove them if they are not needed for a particular task.
The fabric has a UPF 40+ rating, meaning it blocks 98% of UV rays, providing significant protection against sun exposure.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Check that the stretch crotch gusset and pre-bent knee areas are not hindered. Adjust the FlexiHem™ if it's causing tightness.
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, particularly regarding detergent type and avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure reflective tape is not ironed directly.
Confirm you are using compatible Portwest S156 knee pads. Ensure they are inserted correctly into the top-loading pockets and that the pockets are not overfilled, which can dislodge them.
The holster pockets are designed to be zip-off for versatility. If not needed, zip them off completely for a more streamlined fit. If they are difficult to zip/unzip, check for debris in the zipper track.
Utilize the inner boot clip to secure the trouser hem to your boots. Ensure the FlexiHem™ adjuster is snug around the ankle.
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use. For optimal knee protection and certification compliance (EN 14404), insert Portwest S156 knee pads into the top-loading knee pad pockets. Ensure the knee pads are correctly seated for full coverage.
Compatibility: The EV442 trousers are compatible with Portwest S156 knee pads for certified knee protection. The zip-off holster pockets allow for customization of storage depending on the task.
