FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

These trousers are designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. While they offer a generous fit for layering, they do not provide significant insulation on their own. For extreme cold, consider layering with thermal garments underneath.

How do I know what size to order?

The trousers feature a generous fit and a fully elasticated waistband. Consult the size chart provided by Portwest, and consider sizing down if you prefer a less roomy fit or are between sizes.

Can I wash these trousers in a washing machine?

Yes, the trousers are machine washable at 40°C (104°F). Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label and wash with similar colours.

What does 'EN 343 Class 3:1 X WP 5,000mm' mean?

This is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. Class 3:1 indicates a high level of protection against rain (Class 3) and a lower level of breathability (Class 1). 'WP 5,000mm' refers to the water penetration resistance.

How durable is the Sealtex™ Classic material?

Sealtex™ Classic is designed to be durable for work environments, featuring a PU coated Polyester Tricot Knit. It offers a wipe-clean finish for easy maintenance and resistance to typical wear and tear.

Can the hem be adjusted easily?

Yes, the hems feature stud adjusters that allow you to secure the fit around your work boots, preventing drafts or water ingress.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite wearing the trousers

Ensure all studs on the hem are securely fastened and that the waistband is properly adjusted. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams that might compromise waterproofing.

Trousers feel restrictive

The trousers are designed for a generous fit. If they feel too tight, consider if you are wearing excessively bulky layers underneath. For a looser fit, ensure you have the correct size and that the elasticated waistband is not twisted.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Follow the recommended care instructions. Ensure the trousers are not over-dried in the tumble dryer or exposed to high heat. Low-heat ironing can help restore flexibility.

Minor scuffs or dirt marks

Use a damp cloth to wipe away marks. For more stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used, followed by rinsing and air drying.
