FAQs

Are these trousers breathable?

These trousers are constructed with a PVC-coated polyester fabric, which provides excellent waterproofing but may offer limited breathability compared to technical fabrics designed for high-output activities. They are best suited for protection against rain and wind.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart for accurate measurements. The elasticated waistband provides some flexibility, but ensuring the correct waist and inseam measurements is key for comfort and fit.

What does 'Extremely water resistant eco-conscious fabric finish' mean?

This means the fabric has a special treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry. It's an environmentally conscious approach to water resistance.

Are the reflective stripes durable?

The reflective tape is designed for durability in work environments. Following the provided care instructions will help maintain the integrity and reflectivity of the tape over time.

Can I wear these in very cold weather?

These trousers provide a waterproof barrier, which can help trap some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath for insulation.

What certifications do these trousers meet?

They are CE certified and UKCA marked, meeting EN 343 Class 3:1 X (WP 5,000mm) for water penetration and breathability, and EN 17353 Type B2 for enhanced visibility.

How should I clean the reflective tape?

Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing on the reflective tape. Gentle washing according to the care instructions should preserve its reflectivity. Do not use bleach.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are leaking water

Check that all seams are properly taped and intact. If taping is damaged, repair or replace the trousers. Ensure the fabric itself is not compromised.

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are followed, especially regarding detergents and drying methods. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade reflective elements.

Waistband feels too tight or too loose

The elasticated waistband offers some flexibility. If it remains uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate. The hems can be adjusted with studs for a better seal.

Fabric feels sticky or stiff

This may be due to the PVC coating reacting to extreme temperatures or improper storage. Follow care instructions carefully and store in a cool, dry place.
