No, knee pads are not included. The trousers feature top-loading knee pad pockets designed to accommodate compatible Portwest knee pads, which must be purchased separately.
The trousers are certified to EN ISO 20471 after 25 washes. To maintain this certification, follow the care instructions precisely: machine wash at 40°C, tumble dry on low, and do not use bleach or dry clean. Avoid ironing directly on the reflective tape.
The FlexiHem™ adjuster is located at the bottom of the trouser leg. It allows you to secure the trouser hem around your ankle or boot, preventing them from riding up, reducing the risk of snagging, and keeping debris out.
Yes, the trousers feature laser-cut ventilation holes and a stretch crotch gusset to promote airflow and keep the wearer cooler. The fabric's breathability also contributes to comfort in warmer conditions.
The trousers utilize 4-way stretch fabric (92% Nylon, 8% Elastane), which stretches in all directions. This, combined with a stretch crotch gusset, provides exceptional freedom of movement, crucial for tasks involving bending, squatting, or climbing.
Yes, the holster pockets are detachable. They can be zipped off for versatility, allowing you to use the trousers without them when preferred or for specific tasks.
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, offering significant protection to the skin underneath.
The shell fabric is Titanmill Ultra Stretch (92% Nylon, 8% Elastane, 230g). The lining fabric is CorePro Armour (72% Nylon, 16% Polyester, 12% PU, 260g). Contrast fabric is Titanmill Pro Ripstop Stretch laminated to a polyester micro fleece.
Ensure the stretch crotch gusset and knee pad pockets are correctly positioned. Verify that compatible knee pads are being used, if applicable. The 4-way stretch fabric is designed for maximum movement; if restriction persists, re-check measurements against the size guide.
This can occur after excessive washing or improper care. Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully (40°C, low tumble dry). Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and high-heat ironing. If the issue persists beyond the certified wash cycles (25x washes), replacement may be necessary.
The Texpel Splash Eco finish provides resistance to water beading away from the surface. It is not a fully waterproof treatment. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider waterproof outer layers. Ensure the PFAS-free finish has not been compromised by harsh cleaning agents.
Utilize the zip-off feature to detach the holster pockets when they are not needed. Store essential items in the other numerous pockets available on the trousers.
Setup:
