FAQs
Are these trousers insulated for cold weather?
No, the Portwest Iona Lite Over Trousers are designed primarily for weather protection (water and wind resistance) and are not insulated for warmth.
What is the waterproof rating of these trousers?
These trousers have a waterproof rating of 15000mm, indicating a high level of water resistance suitable for heavy rain.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your waist and inseam while wearing your regular work trousers. Compare these measurements to the Portwest sizing chart, paying attention to the 'over trouser' fit.
Can I wear these for everyday casual use?
While they offer protection, their design is functional for workwear. For casual use, consider their protective benefits if you anticipate wet conditions.
Are the taped seams durable?
Yes, the product features taped seams and a double coating for enhanced durability and protection against water ingress.
What safety standards do these trousers meet?
They conform to CE Certified, EN 17353 Type B2, EN 343 Cl 3:1 X, and UKCA safety standards.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their performance?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents to preserve the waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Trousers leaking water
Check that all seams are properly taped and that the fabric is not damaged. Ensure the waterproof rating is sufficient for the conditions. Re-waterproof if necessary following manufacturer guidelines.
Uncomfortable fit
Adjust the elasticated waist and the stud fasteners at the hem for a more secure and comfortable fit. Consider if the size is appropriate for wearing over other trousers.
Reduced water repellency after washing
Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray suitable for technical fabrics after washing and drying.
Reflective strips peeling
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective strips. If peeling occurs, it may be difficult to repair.
