FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed for demanding tasks and extended wear in adverse conditions. The breathable material and comfortable fit aim to provide comfort throughout the workday.
Can I wear these in warmer weather?
While breathable, they are designed for protection against wind and rain. In very warm conditions, they might feel warm. They are best suited for cooler, wet weather.
How do I clean the Hi-Vis trousers?
Machine wash at a moderate temperature (check label). Use mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not dry clean.
What is the EN ISO 20471 Class 2 certification?
This certification indicates the garment provides a high level of visibility, meeting specific standards for color and reflectivity, essential for safety in environments where being seen is crucial. Class 2 is suitable for many working environments, offering a good balance of visibility and fabric area.
What is the EN 343 Class 3.1 certification?
This standard certifies the garment's protection against rain, wind, and snow. Class 3.1 signifies the highest level of water-repellency and a moderate level of breathability, ensuring protection in bad weather.
What do the reinforcements on the knees and leg bottoms do?
These reinforced areas are made of more durable material to withstand abrasion and wear, extending the life of the trousers in high-stress zones, particularly for jobs requiring kneeling.
Can I detach the braces?
Yes, the trousers come with adjustable and removable braces, allowing you to choose whether to use them for added support.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
These are designed to be worn over other clothing. Ensure you have selected the appropriate size to allow for layering. Adjust the waist drawstring and braces for a better fit.
Water is seeping through the material.
Check the garment's care label. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need reapplication or the garment may be worn out.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid excessive heat during drying and do not iron directly on the reflective tape. Gentle cleaning and careful drying should preserve the tape. If damaged, the high-visibility rating may be compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate use over your existing work attire. Adjust the drawstring at the waist and the elastic braces for a snug fit. The leg bottoms can be adjusted using the buttons to ensure they fit over your footwear.
Compatibility: The primary function is to be worn as an outer layer. Ensure the size selected allows for comfortable movement over your regular work trousers. They are compatible with most work boots due to the adjustable leg openings.
Care: Machine wash at a moderate temperature (typically 40°C or 60°C, check the garment's care label). Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof and reflective properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not dry clean. Iron on a low setting if necessary, preferably inside out.
