Product Information

Full details

The Portwest MV71 Modaflame Rain+ Hi-Vis Trousers are designed for adult males working in hazardous environments requiring protection against multiple risks including flame, arc flash, and chemicals, while also offering high visibility and waterproofing. A key benefit is their versatility, with zip-off bibs transforming them into regular trousers. A minor caveat is the potential bulkiness of the multi-layer fabric in warmer conditions.

FAQs

Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?

While the fabric is breathable, the multi-layer construction provides significant protection and waterproofing, which can lead to increased warmth in very hot conditions. They are best suited for environments where their protective features are essential.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure your waist and inseam accurately. Utilize the adjustable straps and the extendable leg length feature (31" to 33") for a personalized fit. Ensure the trousers do not restrict movement.

What does 'Multi Norm' protection mean?

'Multi Norm' indicates that the garment meets multiple safety standards, covering various hazards such as flame, arc flash, electric shock, chemical splash, and high visibility.

Are knee pads included with the trousers?

No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature internal kneepad pockets, and compatible knee pads must be purchased separately.

How often should I wash these trousers?

Wash as needed, following the care instructions precisely. Over-washing or improper care can degrade the flame-resistant and waterproof properties. Always refer to the garment's care label.

Can I modify the trousers, for example, by shortening the legs?

It is not recommended to alter the trousers, especially by shortening the legs. Any modification may compromise the garment's certified protective properties and void its safety compliance.

What is the warranty period for these trousers?

Please refer to the retailer or Portwest's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are not fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact and taped correctly. Check that zippers are fully closed. Re-evaluate washing and care procedures, as incorrect washing can degrade water repellency.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying and direct ironing on the reflective tape. If damage is significant, contact the manufacturer or a certified repair service. Clean gently according to care instructions.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a small amount of graphite or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced flame-resistant properties after washing.

Verify that only approved detergents were used and that fabric softeners were avoided. Follow the recommended washing temperature and cycle strictly. Refer to the garment's care label for specific guidance.

Pros and Cons

  • Waterproof and seam-sealed construction ensures wearer stays dry in wet environments.
  • Versatile design with zip-off bib for adaptability to different work situations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and protection. If using kneepads, insert them into the designated internal pockets located at the knees.

Compatibility: The MV71 trousers are CE certified and compliant with numerous standards, including EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611, EN 1149, IEC 61482-2, EN 13034, EN ISO 20471, and EN 343. They are suitable for use in ATEX environments. The trousers are designed to accommodate standard knee pads (sold separately).

Care: To maintain the garment's protective qualities, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F) on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
  3. Ironing: Iron at a low temperature, not exceeding 110°C (230°F).
  4. Maintenance: Do not use fabric softeners. Wash separately from other garments. Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed before washing. Repeated washing may affect the flame-retardant properties if care instructions are not followed precisely.
