Product Information
Full details
Designed for professional contractors and outdoor workers, the Yoko Hi-Vis Waterproof Contractor Over Trousers offer essential protection against the elements while maintaining high visibility standards on site. These trousers are ideal for those needing a quick-access waterproof layer over their standard workwear, providing both safety and comfort in wet conditions; however, users should note that they are designed as an over-trouser rather than a primary bottom layer, which may affect fit if worn over particularly bulky garments.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers breathable?
As they are 100% waterproof polyester, they prioritize water resistance over high-level breathability, making them best suited for wet, cooler conditions.
What does EN471 Class 1 mean?
EN471 Class 1 is a safety standard that ensures the garment provides a minimum level of visibility to keep workers noticeable to traffic and equipment operators.
Can I tumble dry these trousers?
No, it is highly recommended to hang dry to avoid damaging the waterproof taped seams and the polyester fabric.
Are these trousers suitable for all-day wear?
They are designed for professional contractor use, but are best worn when rain is present or expected, as they may become warm during dry, strenuous activity.
How do I access my pockets underneath?
The trousers feature specific side access slits that allow you to reach through the over-trousers to access the pockets of your primary pants.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the seams over time
Check if the taped seams have become worn or detached due to high-heat drying; if they are intact, the garment may need a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Elastic waistband feeling too tight
Ensure that the under-layers are not creating excessive bulk, or consider a layering system with thinner, moisture-wicking fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are designed as over-trousers, you should select your size based on your regular waist measurement, allowing for the thickness of the clothing you typically wear underneath. To maintain the waterproof integrity of the taped seams, avoid washing these in high-temperature cycles. It is recommended to machine wash on a cold or gentle cycle and hang dry rather than using a tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the waterproof coating and the effectiveness of the taped seams. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup or mildew when the trousers are not in use.
