FAQs
What does EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2 mean?
This standard certifies the garment's high-visibility properties. Class 2 indicates a medium level of visibility, suitable for workers who are not in the highest risk scenarios but still require significant conspicuity. It is based on the amount of fluorescent and retroreflective material.
Can I wear knee pads with these pants?
Yes, these pants feature internal knee pad pockets accessible from the inside. You can insert compatible knee pads for added protection during tasks that require kneeling.
How do I adjust the leg length?
The pants have a built-in feature that allows you to increase the leg length by approximately 5cm. This is typically achieved through an internal hem or fold-over system, check the garment's interior for adjustment points.
What is the best way to wash these pants to maintain their visibility?
Machine wash in warm water up to 60°C, a maximum of 20 times. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Proper washing preserves the fabric's integrity and reflective properties.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the pants are made with 2-way stretch fabric, which allows for greater comfort and freedom of movement during physical activities.
What are the benefits of the crotch gusset?
The crotch gusset is an extra panel of fabric inserted into the crotch area. It enhances durability and provides greater freedom of movement, preventing the pants from pulling or restricting when bending or squatting.
Are these pants suitable for all types of work?
These pants are ideal for general work requiring high visibility and mobility. However, always ensure the Class 2 safety rating meets the specific requirements and risk assessments for your particular job site.
Troubleshooting
Visibility not as expected
Ensure the reflective stripes are clean and unobstructed. The Class 2 rating is based on the coverage and type of material; verify if this meets the specific safety requirements of your work environment.
Knee pads do not stay in place
Ensure you are using knee pads designed for this type of pant pocket. Adjust the knee pads within the internal pocket for a secure fit. Check if the pants are the correct size, as an ill-fitting size can affect pocket placement.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's performance and reflective properties. Air dry when possible.
Pocket fasteners are difficult to use
Ensure the pocket fasteners are clean and free from debris. If they feel stiff, you can gently lubricate them with a silicone-based lubricant suitable for textiles. Avoid forcing the fasteners.
