Full details

These Portwest FR Stretch Trousers are designed for adult males working in environments with thermal arc flash hazards. Their key benefit is providing certified protection combined with comfort and flexibility, thanks to the Bizflame 88/12 stretch fabric and garment wash finish.

Key features include protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, a soft feel, freedom of movement, ample storage with four pockets, and an adjustable hem for tailored leg length.

FAQs

What specific safety standards do these trousers meet?

These trousers are CE certified and UKCA marked, providing protection against the thermal hazard of an electric arc. The shell fabric is Bizflame 88/12 Stretch.

How do I adjust the leg length?

The trousers feature an adjustable hem, allowing you to modify the length for a regular or long leg fit. Specific adjustment methods may vary, but typically involve simple fastenings or folds.

Are these trousers suitable for all types of work environments?

These trousers are specifically designed for protection against electric arc hazards. While they offer comfort and durability for general work, their primary certification is for arc flash protection.

Can these trousers be worn by women?

The product description specifies 'Male' for gender. While the fit and design may offer some unisex appeal, they are tailored to a male sizing and fit profile.

What is the material composition?

The shell fabric is Bizflame 88/12 Stretch, which consists of 86% Cotton, 12% Nylon, and 2% Elastane.

How should I care for these flame-retardant trousers?

Machine wash at a maximum of 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, iron at medium heat, and do not dry clean. Use only mild detergents to preserve the flame-retardant properties.

What does 'garment wash treatment' mean for the comfort?

The garment wash treatment softens the fabric through a specific washing process applied to the finished garment. This results in a softer feel against the skin and can contribute to overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the correct waist and leg length size has been selected. While designed for a slim fit, the stretch fabric and flexi-fit aim to provide comfort. Check if the adjustable hem is interfering with fit.

Reduced flame-retardant properties after washing.

Review care instructions. Ensure only mild detergents were used and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can degrade flame-retardant treatments. Follow recommended washing and drying temperatures.

Seams or fabric showing wear prematurely.

Inspect for signs of snagging or abrasion in high-wear areas. Avoid activities that could excessively abrade the fabric. Ensure proper washing cycles are used to prevent undue stress on seams.
