FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?
These trousers are designed for waterproofing and visibility. For extreme cold, layering thermal base layers underneath is recommended for warmth.
What does EN 343 and EN 471 Class 2 certification mean?
EN 343 certifies the level of protection against rain and bad weather. EN 471 Class 2 indicates a high level of visibility, making the wearer easily seen in traffic and other potentially hazardous environments.
Can I wear these over my regular work trousers?
Yes, they are designed to be worn as an outer layer over work clothes for waterproof protection.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the trousers?
You can wipe off surface dirt with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, follow the machine wash instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.
What is the warranty period for these trousers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Are the reflective tapes durable?
The 3M reflective tapes are heat-sealed for durability. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, will help maintain their integrity and reflectivity.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the trousers are made of a stretchy PU-coated fabric, allowing for ease of movement during work activities.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside after prolonged wear.
This can be due to internal condensation rather than leakage. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and that the garment is properly aired after use. Check that all seams are intact.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Inspect the fabric for damage, especially around seams and stress points. If damage is found, repair with appropriate waterproof sealant or consider replacement. Ensure care instructions regarding detergents and fabric softeners have been followed.
Reflective tapes are peeling off.
Avoid high heat when drying and ironing. If minor peeling occurs, attempt to re-adhere using a low-heat iron on the reverse side, following care instructions. For significant peeling, contact customer support.
Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the elastic waist and hook and loop ankle straps for a personalized fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size according to the retailer's policy.
