FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

These trousers are designed for waterproof and windproof protection. While they offer a good layer of comfort in various weather, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very cold conditions, layering additional thermal clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the Portwest sizing chart, which is usually available with the product details online or on the product tag. Measure your waist and inseam and compare them to the chart. The elasticated and drawcord waist offers some flexibility.

What does EN ISO 20471 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the garment meets specific standards for high-visibility clothing, ensuring it is sufficiently bright and reflective for safety in hazardous work environments.

Can I wear these trousers for non-work activities?

Yes, their waterproof and comfortable features make them suitable for outdoor activities like hiking or camping in wet weather, though their high-visibility design is primarily for professional use.

How many washes can the waterproof feature withstand?

The product is certified to EN ISO 20471 *after* 50 washes, suggesting the high-visibility properties remain effective up to this point. The waterproofness may diminish gradually over many washes and use, and a DWR re-treatment might be necessary to restore optimal performance.

Is the orange color compliant with all rail industry standards?

Yes, these orange trousers comply with RIS 3279-TOM, which is the specific standard for high-visibility clothing in the UK rail industry.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are not fully waterproof after washing.

Ensure you have followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding fabric softeners and tumble drying. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the original finish has worn off after multiple washes, following the product's specific instructions.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor damage occurs, do not attempt to repair it yourself as it may compromise safety certification. For significant damage, consider replacing the garment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper area to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Waistband is too loose or too tight.

Adjust the drawcord for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart.

Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Iron on a low heat setting.
