FAQs
What is EN ISO 20471:2013 Class 2?
This standard specifies requirements for protective clothing that makes the wearer visible in potentially hazardous situations. Class 2 offers a higher level of visibility than Class 1, suitable for work environments with moderate risks, such as work near roads where vehicles travel at speeds up to 40 mph.
Can I adjust the fit of the pants?
Yes, the pants offer two main adjustments: the position of the knee pads can be adjusted by 5 cm, and the leg length can be increased by 5 cm for a customized fit.
Are knee pads included with the pants?
No, knee pads are not included but can be purchased separately. The pants feature internal pockets designed to accommodate compatible knee pads.
How durable is the fabric?
The pants are made from heavy-duty polyester with two-way mechanical stretch, designed for demanding work conditions. They also feature plastic-covered metal buttons for added durability.
What is the purpose of the crotch gusset?
The crotch gusset is an extra panel of fabric inserted into the crotch area. It enhances mobility, provides greater freedom of movement, and improves the overall stability and fit of the garment.
How should I wash these pants to maintain their safety features?
Machine wash in warm water at a maximum of 60°C, up to 20 times. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to protect the fabric and reflective elements.
What kind of pockets are available?
The pants include a thigh pocket with a fastener closure, an ID card loop, and a ruler pocket, providing convenient storage for essential work tools and identification.
Troubleshooting
Reflective stripes are peeling or damaged.
This can occur with excessive heat or harsh cleaning agents. Ensure you follow the strict washing instructions (60°C max, no tumble dry, no ironing). If damage is significant, consider replacement for safety compliance.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's performance and reflective properties. Use detergent as normal and follow the low-heat drying instructions.
Pockets do not securely hold tools.
Ensure the fastener closures on the thigh pocket are properly engaged. For smaller items, consider using additional pouches or a tool belt, as the pockets are designed for specific work items like rulers or ID cards.
Articulated knees feel restrictive.
Verify that the pants are the correct size and that the knee pad pockets are not overfilled or causing bunching. Ensure the leg length adjustment is not interfering with the natural knee bend.
